Tomorrow is May 25, and the 4th anniversary of the abrupt and unexpected loss of our fellow modeler and good buddy, Garry Beebe. Whose motto, if it was anything, would have to have been: "Just BUILD IT, and Enjoy Yourself, already!" Words to live by - and indeed, roundly demonstrated by all the biggest contributors to ModelFleet (whether they knew Garry or not) - including Johnny Bange, Phil Fuss, Gus Hager, Ricky Reyes and, of course, longtime co-founder/supporter Donny Murphy, to name just a few.
I, on the other hand, have continued to have difficulty putting this idea, which I know and understand very well, into practice. Maybe I should see a shrink about it. Maybe I've just been trying too hard. Maybe I should try taking drugs. Maybe I just need to get laid more. Maybe I should have a vacation fling with a hot little co-ed with dual major in Psyche and Pharmacy! 
In any case, ModelFleet hereby institutes - both for those who already follow "The Beebe Principle", as well as those of us who still aspire to it - the annual Garry Beebe Tribute Build; any subject acceptable - just so long as it's relatively quick-and-enjoyable (and, generally speaking, inexpensive as well; an added bonus, in these tight times). Add your own contributions as "Responses", below!
Today I attempted to "blog" my build, editing this post with updates all day, until it exceeded the Board's limit - so I'll append it as a "Response", just like any of yours, below.
Cheers,
-Matty
