Competition Date: Saturday 6/17/2023

Slots to enter are very limited. Entry fee is $15 due at sign up. Sign up in person, in store.

Like past competitions, all competitors will receive the same model kit, HG Demi Trainer and have 4 hours to build and customize their model. At the end of the 4 hours, 3 judges will evaluate everyone’s work. Each judge will select a winner based on their judging category (Technical, Narrative and Aesthetic).

Rules:

Each competitor will be provided with a working space of 1.5 X 3 feet. Anything being used in the build must fit in that space at the start of the competition. No spray, aerosol, or air brush painting is allowed. The model kit provided must be assembled at the competition and should be the focal point of your finished display. Any diorama pieces or external kit accessories can be preassembled before the competition.

Starting at 1:00 PM, builders will have 4 full hours to work. No modifications can be made to a builders kits after the 4 hours have elapsed. Once the 4 hours is up, builders will then have 5 minutes to stage their display. The staging process allows the builder to position their work and remove anything from their not part of their final display off their work area. Judges may factor anything remaining in the work space into their judgments.

After the competition is over competitors own the kit and are free to take it home. However, if they like they can leave their finished work to be displayed at the store until the next competition or whenever they wish to pick it up.

A photographer will be taking pictures of the event and of the model kits. Please lets us know ahead of time if you wish not to be photographed.
