Does the progression of the model entered have to be
started on SSM from the beginning?

Also how do you register?

Thanks,

You can't show the model here in any area before turning it in to the contest. The first time any one sees it is when John post it the contest area. Do not put your name in or on the photos or discription, as this allows people to vote freely for what ever they want.

You can read about what it cost to register by going here http://www.starshipmodeler.net/talk/viewtopic.php?t=75872

When the details are worked out you can register here, but John hasn't got it ready yet Wink www.starshipmodeler.com/contest/contest.htm

Hi

This is the first SSM contest I plan to enter. I know it;s probably a noob question, but I'm currently finishing a couple of builds, and was wondering if one can submit more than one entry to the contest ?


---- EDIT ----

Ups... I just read the Contest Entry Fees thread and that pretty much explained my question Wink Argh.. Mondays... Now where's that coffee ?

Well, I'm really late...I mean, I am late in building my model for SciFiModel Mecha Contest, for Cubic X Contest and for StarShipModeller too, so...too many holidays...maybe...eh,eh...
but soon after the completion of GROG Trophy which is the most important tournament here in Italy for Horror, Sci- Fi and Fantasy miniatures ( much better than Golden Demon which is limited only to GW miniatures...) that is held this week in the surroundings ( well, never won anything there, the level is really too high for my standards- as you can find there such wonderful competitors as BALLONI from PegasoModels,and so on...-, but just to pay a visit and make some good photos, of course...eh,eh...) I'll be back on work on all of them...eh,eh... Very Happy

Is it a scale model even in 1/1 scale of another table? Smile

I've started building something for this contest, and look forward to entering. Question: has anyone been successful at bonding 2-part epoxy to vitamin (HDPE) bottles?

Don't see why it wouldn't work. Perhaps a coat of primer first, or scuffing it up abit with fine steel wool.

Scuffing up the surface or even sanding it with 120 grit or coarser sand paper will be your best bet.

Unfortunately priming it will only make things worse since the primer will not stick very well (Unless you are back to plan the above method) and it will really just form a barrier between the bottles and the item you are gluing to it. Gluing stuff to any kind of paint is really not a good idea.

Like they said, scruff it up and if you don't need it for the inside as well, you can poke some holes through it to give your epoxy an anchor.

All the pieces have been coated with primer...that's the first thing done..."a small step for a common modeller, but a big step for a lazy modeller like me...especially during those Christmas/New Year's Day holidays"..well...eh,eh... Very Happy

This contest is just what I needed. The theme reminds me of the saying, "the perfect is the enemy of the good." Detective

I have embarked on my first scratchbuild, and have been able to walk away from some of the perfectionism that has tripped me up in the past. As a result, I am enjoying my hobby more than I have in a long time, if ever. Very Happy

I am grateful to John, et al. bravo

Guess I better get it in gear if I wanna enter something, then.

This means that, for the first time in over a year, I'm gonna build something other than a 1:2500 scale Star Trek ship (maybe . . . .)!
