AirDave's Diorama Challenge

**airdave** · #1 04-10-2010, 08:17 PM

So, if ya don't already know...I designed a "kit" of "Airfield Accessories".
A Diorama Kit...with stuff you can build and use as stand alone models
or for use in Diorama displays.

You can find the kit HERE at ecardmodels.com

And you can find more about the kit itself, HERE

I want to thank all for their interest in my new "airfield accessory kit'
and as a big thank you to any who have purchased the kit
I am offering up this Build Challenge and prizes.

The First three qualifying entries will receive one of my B-24D Liberators free of charge!
The prize details are below, but first the details on the challenge...

The challenge is to build (and photograph) a "diorama" using models from my Kit.
Post a photo of your Diorama and as long as you qualify (meet the rules stated below) you will win.
The first three entries that qualify, will win a B24D repaint!

Heres the rules, read 'em, follow them...I don't want to have to disqualify anyone!
Lets be fair to each other...follow the rules of the challenge.

1. You must build a "diorama" using at least four different models from my kit. You can build more, but four is the minimum.
[no...the Personnel CutOuts are not considered a qualifying model...everything else is]

2. One of the four models you build, must be the special "Bonus Vehicle" included as a "thank you page" in the kit.
[its a fairly simple model, so it won't add much to your build time.]

3. You must build the models as intended...however upscaling is allowed (to 1/32-1/33 scale), as long as all components are equally upscaled.*
[as a matter of fact, I hope to see how well some components upscale...so I welcome this, but it is not a requirement...please, no downscaling]

4. No modifications to the models...build them as intended in the kit.
[no part omissions, no part additions, no modifications...other than the upscale allowance]

5. You must also include, at least one extra model in your Diorama.
It can be a prebuilt card/paper model or you can build something new if you have time.
[For example, if you are building an "airfield" diorama, you might include an aircraft model]

6. You must post at least one (good) photo - borrow a camera if you have to! lol - of your Diorama, here in this thread.
[If necessary, to view all components in your Diorama, you are allowed to post more than one photo.]

7. First three entries posted, that meet all rule requirements, will win!

*Part of my reasons for adding restrictions to the upscaling, is to guaranty some photographs of models as they are intended
and are of related reference to other builders...these photos may be used as store display images.

Heres what the first three qualifying entries win:

One free "Dave Winfield" B24D Liberator 1/50 scale kit available currently at ecardmodels.com.
Pick from any one of the existing B24D repaints that I have produced and are currently available at ecardmodels.
[sorry...Snow White Series Kit is not included]
or if you have another B24D in mind...
I will also make available a "custom" repaint B24D as an alternate prize.
Using only my "desert pink" template B24D, I can create another B24D of that same type that you specify.

No time limit on this one...
Challenge runs until I get three qualifying Dioramas!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to message me and I'll try to help you out as best I can.
Good luck everyone!
