Small Scale Military Headquarters

I've been away from the board for a while and just noticed this contest. Can somebody sum up the rules and contest for me. I might have some stuff to enter in 1/35 and 1/18 if they meet the criteria. Please let me know. Thanks, Bill

YES!! Okay now I can start on my dio. Any word on what the prizes will be? Is there prizes? Perhaps we should all donate (through Paypal) like 4 dollars. Just a suggestion in case we have no genereous donors

Is each entry required to be in a diorama form or is it by the piece?

For col.pickle no we do not know if there are prizes or what they would be. I will send lightning a pm For billgiff im not really sure pm blurx. Sorry i couldn't answer it

Per discussion with our sponser (Lightning) and based on our turnout being less than desirable in Cat 1, we are hereby amending things a little.
From here on out, Cat 1 and Cat 2 will be merged into one Category for all scales 1/35 and smaller. Anyone planning to compete in 1/144, 1/72, 1/48, 1/50, 1/32 or 1/35 ( or any scale smaller than 1/35) may now do so under the one heading. So we now have only two categories.
Category 1/2 = All scales smaller than 1/35
Category 3 = Scale 1/16 - 1/18

However, with this new system, Lightning has generously agreed to provide now both a First and Second Prize for each Category, plus one Grand Prize. Disclosure of the nature of the prizes will be up to him, at a later time, but I expect they will be worth having!

So the bad news is we only get two categories, but the good news is that everyone still gets to enter in whatever scale they choose, and we have in total one more prize than before.

Any questions?

P.S. I think everyone involved needs to pony up a big thanks to Lightning!
Here,here!

Just a thought...

I read something about that there will only be two photos allowed for your entries in the contest. I feel this could be hinderance, especially in the larger category.

Some of the 1/18 stuff is big, depending on what people use and people create. I know from shooting my own collection it can be very difficult to get acceptable presentations of a piece just by its size. Some of these dioramas could be very large.

I don't think people should be allowed to post 50 photos as that would be too much but perhaps maybe allow up to 5 photos. This will at least allow pictures from different angles and I feel would be a little more fair in the judging process so that the judges can see the whole diorama or a person can take pictures of certain details of thier diorama they feel very interesting.

Just a thought but might be a good idea, especially for the larger scale dioramas.

I agree! Thanks lightning! Also I agree with corey eagle. We should be allowed to have a maximum of 10 photos. That way people will be able to cover every angle. Is there anyone here who does not own a digital camera?

Yes, big ups to lightning. Cheers bud. I'm sure we'll see some kick ass work over the next few months because of this contest.

Yes thanks lightning for providing the prizes for the contest Okay contestents are allowed to post a maximum of 5 photos. On monday at exactly 4:00 PM no more entrys will be accepted. So for people who would like to enter and have not said so you have till monday at exactly 4:00PM to enter. Then i will post a final category list of the people who have entered Good luck to all the contestents and have fun Again thanks lightning

V2 and Blurx

Thank you for allowing the compromise on the amount of photos. That will really help:)

wasn't chairman milo in one of the catergories? I think cat 2.

Thanks Lighting!
If there is only a two photos to submit, then I would suggest that you pick the best two photos and have a URL link to the rest as a follow-up that way you are within the rules but provide additional photos of your diorama to be looked at. If we start to submit more than 2 on this thread it could become difficult to manage/read with so many posting.

I checked my recent category list's and I didn't find chairman milo in any of the category's.

oh. how odd...

some ideas

5 photos per person in each category as V2 said

have two seperate posts for each category so as not to have too many in one post

any additional photos, url links.

Okay no more entrys allowed. Yes thanks for the tips corey Yes contestents who have entered in more than category please when you post your entry's post them seperate. Here is a final category list:

CATEGORY1/2-1958zelda, migmadmavis, conteaddict, Panzer_M, Colonel Pickle, KAMIKAZE, metalwar,Warhawker,mediump, coreyeagle48, Philip, Tshintl,Gunner

okay this has got ot be my last question I hope: Do people have to actually make something here in terms of terrain or are you allowed to set some tanks and soldiers up in your backyard?

In that regard, I would guess it's entirely up to you. However you might want to read the judging criteria in the original rules to determine what you need to do to score well.
