The fellows from Torcan are the guys that I spoke to...the guys who invited me to take part in the big Ajax show.
These are the Peel Scale Modellers.
But the Peel Scale Modellers are admittedly a plastic dedicated group and they make it known.
In the Torcan contest rules it actually states:
Materials: This is a plastic scale model contest. While models may be constructed from any material, models that are not primarily made from plastic, such as paper or wood models can only be entered at the discretion of the Chief Judge. Please contact the Chief Judge before the show to discuss eligibility. Pre-assembled models, such as die cast or prepainted subjects, are not eligible unless extensively reworked. Documentation of rework is required, and these models will be placed into a separate category from the plastic models.
One of the things they don't like is the preprinted finish.
I guess they have been priming, painting and weathering thier models for so long,
they expect it as part of a normal build.
I'd say a scratch built "paper" model...Euro style...with putty, primer and paint, would be more acceptable to them.
