Contest Q&A

[spud]

Lol I was going to hold off also but the t62 etch prob gave me free time until the replacement arrives.


But what I was asking and I see I didn't make my self more clear was, will you be opening the comp in your time zone or will you do as you did last year?

 

[Junkie]

It starts at 12:01 AM local...whatever local is to you...

Man. I'm not too stressed, just wait for Friday.

 

[Glorfindel]

Scott if we finish a build early and time permits can a second submission be made to build another kit?

 

[adampolo13]

Hey Glorfindel, you can enter as many builds as you'd like during the contest dates.

Thanks Adam.

My 9 year old son is keen to join the BSC, should we make his own profile or can he post under mine?

 

[Junkie]

Your call Rookie - either way is fine.

Yeah and Glori - others have entered up to 10 in previous years.

 

[rookie]

Cool - thanks Scott

Scott- When you said "Entries are accepted any time between march 1 and the end of may...but categories other than the all open you need a date stamped photo of unstated kit prior to march 1" are you saying that it needs to be date stamped before March 1st or on March 1st is ok too?

 

[nicholassagan]

i think without the date stamp it has to be entered in all-open, meaning, all-open entries don't need a date stamp

 

[Junkie]

Hmmm...I'll try to clear this up.

If you want to only join the contest in April and haven't started the kit that's cool. So you 'enter' with a date stamped sprue shot - say April 7th, then start the build and finish by the end of the contest.

Know what I mean - As long as the model wasn't started prior to March 1st you're good to go.

 

[nicholassagan]

OK...I think I need clarification on the all-open then...

But if it was started or completed prior to March 1st, they have to be in the All-open?

 

[Junkie]

But if it was started or completed prior to March 1st, they have to be in the All-open?

Yes.

 

[spud]

got an other one, If i wanted to enter one of my busts in the fig cat could i do so.

the head is base coated but i want to redo that anyhow so as it is resin and can clean it right back, i can always buy another one but there pricy

 

[Junkie]

Gonna have to say no on this one Spud. I know it wouldn't be 'started' but it is and I really need to keep that line in the sand.

 

[spud]

Arse! lol i knew it was a hit or miss but i taught i would ask, ill look for another one then,

 

[DarkMoty]

If i was to do a model of a "Big Boy" 4-8-8-4 (not an electric train kit), what category would it go under?
Thanks,
Mark

 

[Grendels]

Just in case no one knows what he is talking about:

 

[Eastrock]

it would not enter the armor does it?


speaking of timezone should we follow the website time lines or follow our own time lines?
