Coooool.

One question that I couldn't seem to find an answer about, and in lieu that the entries last year year were all planes. Do dirigibles count?

Cheers,
Brad

Just curious...I've been trying to get to the link for more competition rules, but it keeps bogging down. So, are the entries limited to models made from the Horus site? I ask this since the announcement mentions you want to feature photos of the models in the kits you sell.

Cheers!

Jim

Dirigibles!
If it flies lets see it.


To clarify - models from other sites are fine too.
Having been inspired by Yaniv, I may be persuaded to open up a fifth category for photo essay builds of kits.

Keep yer eyes skinned folks, we have something special lined up for about a weeks time.

TTFN
Marcus

Last question for now, I think.

Can we post build threads here at Cardmodels?

Cheers,

So, if i read the rules correctly

after the entry has been recieved by you Marcus, one is free to post a build thread anywhere he/she likes.

reason i mention this, build threads are more than just pictures, it might inspire someone else to enter too

Once the competition has ended and prizes anounced, sure.

Would folks like me to set up a category 5 for "start to finish" entries? If there is enough interest, then I'll dig a bit deeper.

TTFN,


Marcus

Horus,

Its not that important to me. I was simply a bit overeager and naive, in addition to not fully understanding what "published" meant.

Cheers,
Brad
