2015 Contest Q&A

[Junkie]

I'm sure you will Kallie - bottom line is have fun, challenge yourself within a 3 month deadline.

I should have mentioned in the video that the contest is peer voted - members vote for top 3 in each category.

 

[Dark Kyp]

And never forget that skills will come with practice

 

[MandoMan531]

Definetly going to enter a thing or 2. Just no idea what yet!
This will be my first contest. Exciting!

What do I build?!?!

Problem is, half the stuff there is started already. But I'm ordering a few new kits

 

[Junkie]

Awesome. I'm pumped too.

Dude, I'm gonna say something StarWars? That fine molds snow speeder would be fun. (I'll buy it off you if you don't want it. )

 

[JMac]

Scott, quick question;

Can we get/use the "This year I'm going to finish..." picture for a forum banner or to share in facebook land?

 

[Junkie]

Absolutely. Giv'r

Perhaps decrease size for a forum signature.

You're supposed to be selling not buying!!!

 

[WebbyNZ]

A stash of Star Wars and Gunpla, me like

I'm not gonna say what you should build but id love to see a PG in the BSC

 

[Junkie]

Buy a little, sell a little, and be model stash neutral.

 

[Quaralane]

Been gathering supplies for my initial entry. I'll post the idea as soon as we start up for real.
All I'll say for now is that it's a "do-over" of a previous contest entry. And I mean a complete, top-to-bottom, start from scratch do-over

 

[JMac]

Cool Q.

I'm just aiming for a finished build this year. Nothing crazy. Just I can't decide what to build. I've got mostly aircraft, a little sci-fi, and a single track-y thing. Not sure as yet...

 

[Senorjacob]

I sat on the sidelines for the BSC last year but i think I'm gonna throw my hat in this year. Thinking of building either the (Ian McQue's) Waldo from industria mechanica or the tamiya 1:350 I-400 in water.

 

[JohnSimmons]

Waldo!!! Would LOVE to see that get built.

I think a 1/48th Harrier would be cool. ;D

 

[unttld]

Waldo!!! Would LOVE to see that get built.

I thought about doing this as well. I've got one in a box still. As well as a mostly finished Remora, a few Skymark bouys, and the deckhands. Obviously a big fan of Industria Mechanika and Ian McQue… I don't think I could finish it in 3 months. :/

 

[Senorjacob]

Definitely would be a tight fit!

Neat idea! As it just so happens, I have one in my stash. ;D

Hmmmmmm...... I love the smell of dark ghost grey from an airbrush...

The Snowspeeder Is actually almost done! there's a progress thread in SciFi

I may enter something into All Open but I'd like to do a "fair" build, one I haven't previously started.

 

[Junkie]

Speeder bike is a good kit - figure is sucky but bike is cool.

You have lots to choose from...podracer?

 

[The Chaos]

I will build the new "Ratte" from Takom and second
the IS-5 Mao Zedong from Dust at Scale 1/35.

 

[Klaus not Santa]

I think this year I'll try more than one entry

None of it will be out of the box, I'l rather chop 'em up, mix them and do some wierd stuff.
Still have a few days to decide, but I'm relatively sure one will end up as a "watercraft" ;D
I will also do (or die trying, right?) another sculpt similar to "The Princess" - that's what the wire and all the SuperSculpey is for

I just thought that I'll probably save the Me and rather maul an old BF/ME-110 kit that I have somewhere and already has a few pieces missing...
hmm.
Well, I really look forward to the contest

 

[JohnSimmons]

Now that all looks very exciting!!!

 

[Junkie]

Sure does.

 

[adampolo13]

That stuff is looking very cool!

I'll be doing a Helicopter of some sorts. All dependent on when my most recent order arrives.

Speeder bike is a good kit - figure is sucky but bike is cool.

Honestly the only untouched kits there are Iron Man Mk6, Chars ZGok, Jabbas Throne Room, and the AT-AT. Everything else is in various stages from some almost finished down to other having a few parts clipped off the sprues. However I'm ordering some things Friday so we'll see!

I wanted to do the podracer but it's actually for parts as I got it incomplete, but I'm ordering another!

 

[Cave_Dweller]

Maschinen Krieger stuff for me. In particular the Hummel, I think. I'd also like to try a bust for the all open (or is there a figure class?)

 

[Junkie]

CD- there's a figure class mate.
