Micro-mini contest idea

**cgutzmer** · #1 12-19-2010, 05:36 PM

How about another contest! I have always been thoroughly impressed by the small builds some of you do. I think we should have a micro mini build off!

I need some help determining some building guidelines...

50% or smaller of original kit size?

heck I dunno....
think it would be fun?

How about making them all the same (Braille) Scale? Except ships, they are already smaller than the average bear. Then we have to discuss %. heh.

Dear Chris:
How about it has to fit on a Quarter, Euro, Penny. Fit with in a cubic inch, cubic centimer.

50% or smaller of kit scale. This enables a larger participation base, for those who might not feel comfortable doing a really small scale one, even a 1/33 kit would only be 1/66 scale.

I really like this idea! I think the 50% or smaller guideline is a good one.

Hi All,

Well, fitting on a penny is a neat idea, of course, one might have accessories that sort of overflow that a bit.

Nickels would allow for a bit more detail as well.

But then, I am up for whatever is decided.
