Summer weather is now leaving us so it is time to start gearing up for the next build off.

This is not going to be the typical build off, i am trying something different and will see how it floats.

one main stipulation is that it has to have at least 10 entrants to be viable, the more the merrier!!

the rules for this build off are going to seem a a bit odd compared to some of the other contests i have held. Build whatever you like, no restrictions on anything as far as building styles or amount of detail. You can build anything from a box stock snap together kit all the way to a full detailed scratch built monster.

your finished build will only count for 25% of the final tally. the other 75% will come from how well you lay out and document your build from start to finish. posts must be made a minimum of once a week in the forums ( http://kitbashkorner.myfastforum.org/index.php )

people who just post pictures without explanations of their building process will receive a lower overall score than others who recount all the processes used during the build and document them cleanly and clearly. everything should be taken into account when creating your build log, from opening the box all the way to the final finished product.

the build off will start on Nov 15th and i will give 4 months to complete the build, time your build properly as early completion can hurt you for the lack of update posts. On March 15th the build off will be over, then at the end of the month the winner will be announced.

all builds will be documented in this area of the forum http://kitbashkorner.myfastforum.org/forum34.php

as people sign up i will add their respective threads so on the 15th we will be all set to roll and get building.

since this is going to be a quite involved build off, i have put together a respectable sized prize pack that is well worth the effort.

there is only one prize pack for this build off as i want everyone to put their best foot forward and go for the golden ring.

Here is what you are going for…..

everything you see in the pic is included in the prize pack.

a bit of a closer look

3 revell parts pack engines

3 joeblown resin engines

Detail master skull shift knobs, mufflers and gas caps

a model expo precision tool set

a K&S pencil soldering iron

bags of assorted flocking

and pro tech fuel line, braided line and a magneto

add to that the working with evergreen manual, the hoppin hydros chain steering wheel and plate frames and the set of gold line tires.

thats not a bad lot in anyones book.

now you need to register in the forums and fill out the form below to be able to enter. 

entries will be taken up until Nov 14, hope to see many of you there!!
