Thought I'd throw this into the pot, see what you think.
I'm going to participate, or try to, as I'm doing a 1/72nd scale kit for the first time in over 25 years (what? with my knackered hands?!), but not 'compete'.
Unless it's against the rules/ethics of the forum, I'm prepared to put up two prizes, of sorts, as I think that this project is really good and worthwhile; it's bringing people together from across the World, doing what they enjoy, and, also recreating history, in a lighthearted, and educational, way.
I propose to provide an A4 print of one of my paintings, signed and with a Certificate of Authenticity, for the best OVERALL entry, in any 'category'. OK, so it'll be a print off my PC's printer, but should look reasonable if framed; nothing brilliant, but not too bad.
Also, for the model, or modeller, who, in the opinion of all who have entered, has shown the most promise/ingenuity/execution/finish/presentation/improvement etc (NOT a diorama!), from the 'less than expert' entrants, I will provide an original, still in the box, late 1960's 'Frog' 1/72nd scale Percival Proctor kit.
If this is allowable (mods confirm please?), what do you think? Opinions, comments and suggestions as to scoring etc welcomed.
Terry.
