Anyone interested? I’d like minimum of seven (7) dio-hards… Any scale, any subject, any era… Shadow-boxes too…
Building time-frame is 229 days from start-date, probably next month, near the or on the 1st.
No, I say again NO WIPS, crossovers from other GBs, or pre-fabs (i.e. die-cast). This is a "start from Zero diorama build. No common “Theme”, unless it’s decided by the group that a theme is wanted (i.e. WW2 or Vietnam-era, Home-front,etc).
If it’s decided that a theme is wanted, it will be voted on and must pass by 2/3rd majority or better.
Bases may NOT be bigger than 11 x 14 inches (230mm x 356mm).
No “vignettes” or diplays models sitting on landscaped bases. This is a diorama-build, and the diorama tells a “story”. If a figure is the main subject, there must be at least two (2) of them, and they need to be “doing something”… Show the kit’s main subject “doing it’s thing”…
Full set of rules will be posted ONE WEEK prior to the start-date. Before you ask though, yes SOME nudity is allowed, but it MUST be of a nature that can be published in FSM or posted in the forum… Manny…[;)])
WIP photos are encouraged, but not required… Personally, I would limit photos to WIP-shots of the models, structures, vegitation, painted or re-posed figures, etc, and NOT the story or layout… This will keep “Idea Theft” to a minimum…
There will be two prizes: First Place will receive a classic Monogram kit originally featured in one of Shep Paine’s outstanding Monogram dioramas… Will be either 1/48th aircraft or 1/32-1/35 AFV (your choice of genre, my choice of kit)…
Last Place will receive a copy of Shep Paine’s How to build Dioramas.
