A couple years ago one of the members here had a marvelous idea. He is a man of incredible talent, kindness and compassion, and great humor. He had an idea that brought the customizing community here together as it never had before in a frenzy of creativity that hasn't been surpassed since. I'm referring of course to our own Les Walker and his deadfest custom challenge where anyone who wanted to participate was more than welcome.

Our once mighty custom community has fractured a bit, and despite having more talent than ever, it appears we have lost that feeling of brotherhood that once surrounded this forum.
Well its September and SSC is gearing up toward Spooktacular once again and although its short notice why don't we try and reignite some of that old fire again? We have about 6 weeks to come up with something Spook related, whether its 'help Wanted' oriented or just plain creepy? A backdrop or dio, a repaint, or a kit bash, a new sculpt or something completely new and unimagined!
I propose that even though Les is quite busy and doesn't have to be directly involved, with his permission, we call this the Annual Les Walker Custom Challenge 2009 Edition just out of shear respect.
Maybe we can coax the legendary Dark Artist to jump into his mix of black gray and blood red, and Mikey to pull something fantastic from the twilight zone, or Barryo to produce some blood stained props, or the gruesome spectacles of Die, and so many other talented folks we have roaming this board.
And Les I hope I haven't offended you and I don't want you (or anyone else) to feel any obligation if you are too busy, but you did a wonderful thing for all of us back then and I would like to think there is enough good will left here to try again.
