Topic: New Years Custom Contest

[Joerhyno]

I think this is a good idea... maybe a blank white/black/gray background for your entry and not photo manipulations added(your website/blog address/logo/etc)... maybe something like that might help even the playing field and keep it from being a popularity contest(not saying that's happened here, I'm still a newbie here, but I've been around the customizing block for awhile and I've seen it happen more than once).

[Mr. Black]

Well, we just rounded up a contest at JediDefender.com and the entries weren't anonymous. But then again, the voting was for three categories and each entry could only be voted for once. I think it worked out pretty well.

[Reconsgt]

Well this contest is for real tangible hand made items, so there should be no digital backdrops, the contest is for a Diorama and minimum of  1 figure/vehicle elemnet added. I want this to be Spoiler free for a variety of reason,

1. Items are judged by what they are not by who they are from,
2. I don't want any build up of hype,
3. I don't want others to see any WIP and feel they may not be able to compete against it, this is for everyone to try regardless of perceived skill level


We will be offering different layers of prizes, and the main prize will be given via the vote, the others we deliberately left blank and will be reveiled later, all I will say is everyone who enters has a chance,


To this question
Oh, and it's strictly limited to Karen's novels right? The RC game's off limits?


Correct, Novel based only.


As to the white backdrops,   that is an option we can add since it is early on and nothing should be completed yet.

[Mr. Black]

Alright then, thanks for shedding some light on this, Sarge 

[clonecommanderjay]

recon do u no when u say no digital backgrounds does that mean we cnt print wallpaper style bkgrounds for walls out

[Reconsgt]

If you are using it in construction of your diorama it is fine, it was refering to photoing the items against a background.   Any supplies used for construction is fine.

cheers pal

I recommend watching HB94's fun video on diorama building.

I have no idea about these books, but I do like the RC soundtrack,

That's a cool assortment of goodies right there.. I've been meaning to ask, are your helmets made out of the softer "rubber" like plastic, or that hard stuff like, say the same as the backpack is made out of?
