2022 Kitbuild/Kitbash/Scratchbuilt Challenge - ngauger - 02-10-2022 A while ago (2014) ago we had a three-way challenge that was very successful, we’ve had a request to do it again. We’re going to have another structure building challenge that we hope will suite everyone at every level of skill or modeling preferences. This one is all about structures. When we talk about structures, we’re not just talking buildings. Houses and factories are fine, but also think other things; water or oil tanks, bridges, boat docks, or grain elevators are just a few examples of what you can build. In order to keep things fair, we are limiting participation to two categories only. If you choose the kitbuild challenge, you can enter the kitbash one as well, but not the scratchbuild. If you enter the scratchbuild, you can also enter the kitbash, but not the kitbuild. The reasoning here is to keep the different skill levels apart and to let everyone complete at the level they feel is challenging to them, or at their preferred method of construction. Kitbuild challenge will be as follows: Just build a kit using only the parts in the box for the structure only. You may paint and weather the structure and make cosmetic changes, but you cannot add anything that does not come with the kit. You can add other details such as scenery around the structure. This will allow you to do from a "let it look like the picture on the box", to "I built it like the instructions says, but I've enhanced it with weathering, different paint and scenery". The choice is yours. Kitbash challenge will be as follows: Take any structure kit and make it into something different, or even take two or more kits and combine them for something else. You can use parts from other kits, but mainly, you must use your imagination. We cannot define this any more than that; the rest is up to you to figure out. Scratchbuilt challenge will be as follows: You can build something from your own imagination from scratch. You can use any common parts such as sheet goods and plastic strips. You can use pre-made windows, doors and any small detailed parts, but the structure itself needs to be original. Any structure will do and it can be any scale, just not full-scale…
Pick the one or two challenges you’d like to enter, but you cannot enter both the kitbuild and scratchbuild together. This challenge is open to all registered members here.
If you build a structure using Walther's modular parts and it follows one of their pre-defined plans, it is a "kit build"
RE: 2022 Kitbuild/Kitbash/Scratchbuilt Challenge - Amalynn - 02-14-2022 I’m going to attempt to enter this. We’ll see how that actually goes for me, but I’m planning to submit a model in the Scratchbuilding competition a model of the EBT’s enginehouse at Mt Union, PA. If possible I may also submit something in the basic kit building competition. RE: 2022 Kitbuild/Kitbash/Scratchbuilt Challenge - ngauger - 05-26-2022 Well, That time went kind of fast... Only 9 days left to the 2022 Challenge...... RE: 2022 Kitbuild/Kitbash/Scratchbuilt Challenge - nachoman - 05-30-2022 (05-26-2022, 03:59 AM)ngauger Wrote: Well, That time went kind of fast...

The challenge ends on June 5, so go for it you may even reach 100% by then. |
