Anyone up for a challenge?

How about we go back to our roots. Way back when ( 09 I think ) we did a three part challenge.... A scratch build, kit build, and kitbash challenge. It was very popular with several entries in each group. Now that we are having our 5 year anniversary may be it would be fitting to do something like that.

You are right. I did a bit of research and we had a challenge over at the old place seven years ago with two parts, Kitbash and Kit build. Five years ago (May '09), we had a three part one, kit build, kit bash and scratchbuild. I like that idea since we did have good participation in both challenges in all categories and it gave everyone at all levels a chance to enter something.

E-Paw that is a great idea to keep with the theme of our 5 year anniversary is to repeat the first challenge we had. Do you think if we ran if from Memorial Day to Labor day that would be to long?

Just for clarity, the challenge itself could be something that is either kit built, scratch built or Kit Bashed?

The last challenge like this included all three in three different categories. It worked before, so I don't think we want to mess with success. We had some members enter in more than one category, and that was good to see. As I remember, there were a few restrictions to keep things fair for new modelers.

And no, I think going the whole summer is great, it gives everyone time to get their challenges done as well as taking time out for vacations... or mowing the grass... Starting five years from the last one is a good way to celebrate our anniversary, so stayed tuned, I think we have a challenge brewing.
