To those of you who attended WCR 2020, you got those awesome posters that Robert @buddyv had made up. They look great and, IMO, are fully suitable for framing.

The posters are 16" wide x 20" tall. A quick trip to Michael's (or other craft store) and one 20" X 24" frame later and...

But those of you who know me and have checked my build know that I can't just do one version of anything.
So, another trip to Michael's and a bit of matting option checking later and...

It turns out they have a color called "Lemon Drop" that is a near perfect match to the yellow in the poster. If figured I'd give it a try. It makes the whole poster POP and looks great, if you ask me.

And "since I was in there", I decided to make a couple Christmas gifts for two of my fellow 914 lovers. One has a white car, the other's is orange.

These frames are 20" x 28". I painted up a couple of the WCR award silhouettes and, well, here they are. The reflection makes them hard to photograph - they look pretty cool in real life.

Anyway, if you have a WCR 2020 poster, maybe this will give you some ideas.

And if you've already done something with your poster, or if you've mounted/displayed your award, let's see some pics!

@Cairo94507 - Well, I'm sure glad to hear you like them, Michael. Cuz, SURPRISE and Merry Christmas! Here's yours.

Maybe hard to tell but that's an Irish Green one in there. It's here waiting for you.
Happy Holidays, my friend.
