2012 BSC - Questions

[Bizarre]

Not bad! How is that compared to last year?

 

[Junkie]

If we look at the categories that were the same this year as last, we had 76 last year.

Last year there were more overall, however the difference is the ALL OPEN - we did have it this year, but I didn't make a big announcement other than an email to members.

 

[Bizarre]

But what was the initial number last year?

 

[Junkie]

135

 

[Bizarre]

so last year the % of finished was higher

 

[Bizarre]

Scott, Pe-2 is Air, not Armour.

 

[Junkie]

On it.

 

[Junkie]

OK - with the exception of 4 builds (waiting on correct image links) all entries are posted.

If there are mistakes, let me know. I'll be online most of the evening.

 

[Bizarre]

So there are 81 and not 85 final entries?

I am blown away by the number of Sci-fi entries that year. A lot of cool models!

 

[Junkie]

OK - with the exception of 4 builds (waiting on correct image links) all entries are posted.

 

[spud]

lota Scifi alright this year

 

[JohnSimmons]

Fantastic turnout, what a lot of talented people we have here! Well done to everyone that entered and to Scott and the SMA staff for organising it! Good luck

 

[Junkie]

I agree. There are some really nice builds. Be sure to take some time over the next week and check them all out. Voting will begin next Monday - the 9th.

 

[spud]

ah cool, cant wait,

 

[Igard]

Can't wait for next monday! These are all fantastic, great work by all!

However, I can't see my youtube vid on my final entry, but then I can't see any vids anywhere else in todays final posts, there are 1 or 2 in the "early bird" posts though.

 

[nicholassagan]

YES! Some great work here!!!

Ok....so why are there so many entries in the All-Open category that clearly belong in other categories? Isn't the purpose of All-Open for those entries that don't fit neatly into the other categories?? I mean, I get that someone may want to enter say a plane or a tank or a spaceship in all-open to 'improve' their chances of votes...what gives? Help me understand...

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

'All open' is for models that were started and/or completed before the start date of the contest.

 

[Tanker52]

Can I still vote even though I did not finish my build for the contest?

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

Of course!

We get way more votes than entries each year. 8)

 

[Junkie]

'All open' is for models that were started and/or completed before the start date of the contest.

And they do not qualify for Best of Show. And only the first place winner gets a prize. No 2nd, 3rd place.
