2014 CONTEST DETAILS / PRIZES

[Junkie]

Not this time round however I'm considering it for a group build in the fall.

 

[the Baron]

Thanks, Scott, I was curious. We are relatively light on ship builders, and heavy on sci-fi, armor and aircraft builders, so it's not so outlandish. A ship modeler could go into the general category, or the diorama category, too, I suppose.

 

[Junkie]

Yes, seascapes would fall into diorama for sure...or any other boat related diorama of course.

Greetings builders. Due to moving house I was not able to partake in the BSC this year so I thought I would still contribute a couple of kits, but in the prize category rather than builds.
I waited till May to give those of you who are not sure they will make it, another push to achieve 'completion over perfection'

I'll be offering 3 kits with a criteria for each one.
1 will be for fellow Southern Hemisphere builders who often have to deal with smaller communities and crazy shipping costs from the larger northern continents. (Time to check you have a flag on ya profile )
1 will be for someone who motivates me to build a kit I have in my stash, it does not have to be a kit I have but a R2d2 model might inspire me to build a Star Wars kit, or a figure, or even a gundam, etc etc
The final one will be simple, a build that I just really like that misses out on one of the official SMA prizes/awards.

I'm sure you are wondering what kits are on offer, well to be honest I'm not certain yet, I'll try and get something that fits with the builders 'niche' in some way.

To save on shipping boxes maybe broken down, in particular if there is a lot of wasted space in the box, but everything will be included and securely packed and shipped with tracking where possible.

Any chance of an extension on the contest? I've fallen way behind schedule... :-\

 

[Biskup]

Not only you. I spent 2,5 weeks in bed when I couldn't do models. I'll try to chatch up but will see. Let's hope I'll make it in time

I've been hearing from several folks in the same spot. Keep building..I'll work out something.

I'm trying to get some videos done - I, like most of you, are swamped with life...

Stay tuned.

 

[Tailor]

I am all for an extension, too! :-\

 

[Junkie]

The contest has been extended until June 20th.

[The Chaos]

Thank you fort he extension Scot.

 

[zombiekiller1]

Miss Piggy now has a chance thanks for the extension.

 

[f2k]

An extension... Cool...

Been having some family and work related issues lately and coupled with that * biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiib * aircraft fighting me all the way I had given up entirely on getting the build done in time.

Figured it wouldn't matter (ain't gonna win anything anyway, considering the incredible quality of the builds) but as a matter of pride it would be nice to get it done...

 

[unttld]

An extension? Yes! I came on to post up that I didn't finish. Glad I've got some more time. Thanks Scott!

 

[Gundamhead]

As others have said, YES! Maybe I can finish now!

 

[Biskup]

Will there be some kind of submission form? If yes when will it be set up? I'm asking as I'm leaving for Modeling contest on 20 early morning and I won't be back till 22 late afternoon.

 

[Junkie]

Yes, same as previous years. It will be setup after the 21st and be 'open' for a few days at least.

 

[Biskup]

Great
I will post pictures of finished kits earlier in Topic just to show that they are finished

 

[nicholassagan]

When do the polls close again?

 

[Quaralane]

Scott said he was likely to keep them open over the weekend so everyone gets the chance to vote

 

[Junkie]

Yup, I'll shut it down Monday.
