War Thunder build contest

[Wulf111]

i say put it on the moon in front of a German moon base like in "Iron Sky"?

If I could use photoedits, that would have been an awesome idea!!!

Except...tanks on the moon would not have been a good plan?.
Nobody to shoot at up there!

Download the kit, and build it however you see fit, if you wanted to enter the contest with it, you would have had to build at original size

Where does it say you had to build at released scale (meaning 1/50 scale)?
I never read that in the rules.
I read that you needed to build close to the original design with no major changes,
but it never specified a scale size (that I saw).
I built mine at a slightly bigger scale.

I measured it...its close enough to 1/32.

Re. the link posted in Ricks original post...

How your entries will be assessed:

Accuracy and similarity to the reference model - each bend and curve are important.
The final look of the model - a model, driving through trenches or across terrain is better than just a picture on the table.
Details - this may be a soldier on the hull, or unusual environment - use your imagination.

Contest rules:
The contest is open - anyone can take part

1 participant - 1 model. 1 author can not submit more than one work. Models made by a group of people will not be accepted either.

The model should be created without significant changes from the original reference model, minor changes such as hand-rails or lamps etc are permitted.
However this will not greatly affect the judge's decision

Models placed on dioramas/landscapes etc. are permitted. However this will not greatly affect the judge's decision

Models are judged by their photos, so please try to take good quality pictures.

The minimum resolution is 1024 pixels (any side), maximum size is not limited (if reasonable).

There should be 3 photos minimum of the assembly process (e.g. tank without chassis or hatches), 2 pictures of the final result with one of the pictures having a slip of paper with the distinctive nickname of the player displayed.

No photo post-processing - only cutting and colour correction are permitted. If in doubt, the Jury may require the original pictures of a model or ask to create a new picture.

I thought it said somewhere original size build, with minor enhancements

[airdave]

Well thats not what it says in the contest rules.
So if thats how it gets played, then I wasted 2 weeks on the damn thing.
