Fiddler’s Green Modeling Madness

Any model released by Fiddler’s Green will be allowed.

Three categories of build
1. Stock build, build the model as is.
2. Improved Stock, You can add rigging, wheels or reinforcement(wire or wood in rotors or wings)
3. Modded, repaints, and any other changes or edits are allowed, even foamies.
Extra points for Braille Scale, and Dioramas.

Fresh kit for this contest, no model started prior to the start date of the contest is allowed.

Build from your stash, or purchase from Fiddler’s Green.

Multiple entries and multiple genres are encouraged.

I will create 3 subforums under this main thread, and I am proposing the following tags to preface each build thread, [Aircraft], [Buildings], and [Misc]

This suggestion is for those of us on Facebook, to foster a bigger interest in the hobby, I am asking you to add an album to your profile and add all the build pictures to that album, and comments on each picture is encouraged.

If you are a member of the forum at Fiddler’s Green, feel free to post your build there also.

The contest will start on March 8 2010 and will end on July 4 2010.

Braille scale is the small scale (1/100, 1/144, 1/200, etc). At least I think it starts at 1/100, even if it is a little large

I had to look it up on the internet... it said: Braille scale (1/72nd and smaller). I think the 1/100 and smaller will be quite interesting!!! I may loose my mind by the time I've finished one, but it would be a challenge!!

For the Stock category, WSAM or whatever the scale is from the print is allowed.

Braille scale is allowed in Improved Stock or Modded categories.

Rick

Rick, for the record, what are the delivery requirements? A build thread, a number of finished photos, etc?

My 1:72 scale builds qualify as braille scale? Cool! I thought I had to get down to like 1:144 (like my larger planes and bombers) to qualify. :p

I'm with you on that. That's where all the fun is really. Might I suggest we all use a prefix, like FGMM (Fiddler's Green Modeling Madness) in our topic headings to differentiate from normal FG headings?
