Owww I just can't wait. ;D

 

[JMac]

Quick question to Scott and the SMA staff; where's the link to enter/send of our pictures and fees?

Thanks,
Jason

 

[ScaleModelMadman]

Plenty of time for that Jason, you haven't finished already have you? ;D

I'm sure Scott will have that up later in the contest, but right now he's off for a week or so.

Thanks for the quick reply Ken. I'll get started then.

you haven't finished already have you? ;D

Finishing (and having fun with the builds) - that's my goal this year... I'll consider it a successful contest for myself if I just finish a couple builds...

 

[Biskup]

So we can start the builds? When we have picture of the unstarted kit?

Yes of course!

It's March 1st, even 2nd in some parts of the world I'd imagine so go for it.

Take your start photo with your kit and date etc. and just put it aside, or place it in your build thread if you chose to do one.

 

[THE NEW ONE]

Scott, will the junior winner's build be posted in the magazine?

 

[Biskup]

Cool
One more thing will there be sub forums with specific categories or can we just post in the main 2014 BSC category?

 

[Quaralane]

Just post it in the main 2014 BSC category, Biskup.
It's how we've done it for the previous contests

Scott, will the junior winner's build be posted in the magazine?

Hey new one, this isn't a question we as forum staff have discussed as of yet. If you wouldn't mind sitting tight for a few days Scott is traveling. As soon as he gets back we can discuss.

Cool?

Catagory Question

Quick question guys. I'm thinking of building a "Strange Change Time Machine" this contest. Would you consider it a SCI-FI entry or a diorama? Its a little of both.

I'd call that sci-fi, but deffer to Scott upon his return.

I'd also likely call it sci-fi, but Scott's the final judge on it

Actually, the editor handles content submissions to the magazine, so you wont have to wait for Scott for an answer to your question.

When the contest is over and the current issue being laid out at that time is on my desk, I will have a much better idea of what kind of room we have in the issue for contest photos. I will certainly put the best theme and best junior in if I have decent photos as well as the room for them.

Hi guys!

I guess this is still the Forum for the Prices and not Q&A?
So here we go:

Great Wall Hobby sponsoring BSC'14



Lion Roar & Great Wall Hobbies are proudly sponsoring these Prices:

1. Best AFV: one AFV or Gun Kit 1/35

2. Best Aircraft: one aircraft kit 1/48

3. Best Junior: one aircraft kit 1/144

4. Best SciFi/Space: one Space Station & Space vehicle Set

... and I'll guess I'll be putting some stuff out there.
Haven't made up my mind what it'll be.


Good luck to of you out there!

Cheers,
Guido

Just to make sure, is Imageshack ok? Or I really have to open a Photobucket account?

 

[Quaralane]

Imageshack is fine, Hulk.
It's the direct uploading to this site that we're trying to get away from

 

[Hulk]

Thanks, just wanna make sure
