Pistonheads build off???

[Zaxxon]

Is there or has there ever been a build off comp? Run on these pages?

Pick a model of medium complexity, and everyone builds one and presents pics. Points awarded for originality and setting, diorama etc.

Could be aeroplane or tank etc

Maybe the term build off is a bit wrong. It would be interesting to see peoples interpretations of a single kit though. There will be a certain level of competition and a winner but some would use PE, resin and bespoke decals and some would use the bare kit. Some airbrush some brush.

I think once every 3-4 months would be ideal so it doesn't get in the way of peoples main projects.

I prefer 1/48 as a scale as it's halfway house as far as detail vs cost. But 1/72 would be cheaper.

It could even be done as a theme so for the end of this year we could do 70 years since Pearl Harbour.

Yeah cool, that sounds good, 1/72, no Photo Etch, stock transfers.

You can you homemade bits though like bits of cloth etc



How about one of these?

No airbrushing puts me out, why would I cock up a model by just using brushes?
