I got the tank made! Still need to sand it and make some nice backer for it. (like a plaque) I made a triple stack of it, so I have 3 copies of it.

I just found another idea. I sent email to their helpdesk asking questions not answered in their FYI pages.
Also found that " Due to New Jersey state law, online raffles from users in New Jersey are prohibited."
That isn't a problem for the three of us looking at the possibilities, but worth mentioning.

I got the plaque board fabricated today. Now I just need to paint or stain the background. I'm thinking of NATO Green or Olive Drab. What do you like? (These are 2 different ones. One is light color and the other is a bit greenish wood) I am hoping to be able to raffle both of them.

I just finished painting the plaques NATO green and will post some pictures once they dry. I wonder how many raffle tickets I can sell? Please let me know if you plan to purchase any tickets.

It depends on how many people will buy tickets. I figure between $1 and $5 a ticket. It will really help if more members are aware of the raffle.

It looks like interest in this thread has fizzled out. Unless I get some exposure with the general audience, there is not enough demand for a raffle. If anyone is interested in the Abrams plaque let me know. I have about 4 hours and $10 in materials. I will still donate whatever money I make on these plaques.

Ye I really like how the colors of the different wood POP when I apply the clear coat. All the colors of the Indian motorcycle are natural wood colors. There are no colors added by staining. The wood species I used on it are: White Oak, Cherry, Walnut, Maple, Padauk, Purple Heart, and Pine dowels.
