Now let's look at the delegation of the jury. We conducted a blitz poll and present to you the answers, and you can learn from their work.
The first representative of this famous and uncompromising kagorty.
from Spain, Jose Luis Lopez Ruiz.
Question:1)How long are you in hobby?
Ðnswer:1) My father was a modeller ... so ....
. Anyway, I started seriously to make AFV kits on 2008.
Question:2) What your family (relatives) think about your passion?
Ðnswer2):I can say that my wife is happy because I stay at home making kits instead having beers with my friends!
Question:3) What was your first kit?
Ðnswer:3) Not sure but probably a 1/72 aircraft from Matchbox... may be the Skyhawk?
Question:4) Do you have a local club in your city?
Ðnswer:4) Not actually, but I belong to a modeller mafia gang called "Panzetakorps". A chaotic but wonderful group of friends!
Question:5) Have you taken part in contest?
Ðnswer:5) I used to take part on contest, but actually, I don´t cause the economic crisis. Watching models "on live" is the best way to learn. I really encourage modellers to go to constest and enjoy of the works "on live". And, of course, participation is a way to motivate yourself but not obligatory!
Question:6) What do you think about the contest?
Ðnswer:6) Any chance to share modeller´s works on line is always welcome! And for me, it´s very exciting meeting the works from Russian modellers. Watching the works of the participants, I can say that there´s a Russian´s Way of modelling VERY interesting.
Question:7) Would you participate in it? (why, why not?)
Ðnswer:7)I love to participate in contest but not on on-line contest. Why? Because the pictures we make to our kits not always shows our kits in the right way. A wrongly choosen background, an incorrect illumination, a missregulation of the camera.... can spoil and hide a good work. And, in the other way, a mediocre kit can look impressive using photosolve or any other programs. So, it´s much more complicated to jugde or analyze a kit unless they are professional photos taken with cameras that are not always available to everyone.
Question:8) What do you think about our motto
http://contest.ucoz.com/Modellers of all countries - unite!
Ðnswer:8) Quite successful! A great idea. Internet is the real revolution for modelers. Now we have access to the works of modellers around the world!
Question:9) Your wishes to participants of the contest and website?
Ðnswer:9)´d love to transmit them the same concept that a great modeller told me 4 years ago. Find your way copying your favorite modeller´s work. Once you master the basic techniques and materials, kit by kit, explore and found your own way of modelling. And always finish your kits altough the result is bad. You´ll only learn finishing kits. So, let´s do a lot of kits!. And, for the website .... keep on the good work! And thank you for the effort!
