Scalescenes "Kit Build Competition" Part Two Toto has asked me to post this notice up to let all our members know about 'Part Two' of the Scalescenes Kit Build Competition. Here is a run down of what we need to abide by, including the rules... Given that the name of the game in Scalescenes kits are their versatility and adaptability and using the same "Free" Scalescenes kits, you can now run riot and adapt, cut, slice and dice, the kits until your hearts content. You can use as many copies of the kits as you like and can mix and match in order to create your own bespoke structure. This part of the competition is based and will be judged on the following criteria. 1. Quality of build. 2. Best use of the kits to produce a totally bespoke submission demonstrating the kits versatility. The finished product will be a stand alone structure ( or set of structures ) and the only restrictions are that you cannot use back boards or scenic breaks etc to enhance your submission and that once again the amount of base board to be used is subject to the same restriction of 6 (six) scale feet( OO scale - 24mm, N Gauge - 12mm, O Gauge/7mm scale - 42mm ) around the perimeter of each structure. Any questions or potential interpretations of the rules should be made in the 'open forum' to enable everyone to benefit from any clarification given. This part of the competition shall see the winner being awarded £35.00 of Scalescene vouchers. Good luck, Toto.
Some questions about the Scalescenes build part 2 a. What's the completion date b. Can water be modelled so long as it complies with the 6 scale feet rule c. What's the best way to get a broken cork out of my Vino Tinto Ian
Hi Ian, water can be modeled no problem. The completion date is the 31st July 2016. Broken cork ........ Stick thin object inside neck of bottle whilst tipping bottle towards your glass. you should feel the cork hitting narrow object. Trap cork between thin object and inside of bottle whilst releasing contents into glass. ......... repeat until bottles contents are consumed. cheers toto
Thanks for that Toto... I wonder if Gormo could invent a device... i mean it is model railway related... and not just here I suspect
Cheers guys I'll use the same straw that I have for my Glen Juice cheers... workload increasing all the time what with plonk, plank and comps so I'd better stock up! Ian vt
Ian, you're evidently not drinking enough - keep going until you see double - now you're making two at a time, instant increase in productivity Paul
Ok I've now formulated a plan a for comp no 1 part 2 section 3 paragraph 4 line 9... then decided plan b was better so I'm up and running... use a straw eh... Ian vt
Hi Toto ... a friend of mine was wondering if it was ok to use the free Scalescenes Small Goods store that I...? ...he... downloaded some time ago only it isn't available now (he says) but it was free (he also says). I won't use m ... his name as we don't want to give any clues as to what (he) is building. Ian (for a friend) Ps I bet that nice Mr Triffid won't mind
Hi Ian, The problem there is that everyone will not have access to that kit if it's discontinued. So ..... You ....ahem ..... I mean your friend would have a slight advantage there and you ..... I mean he ..... Or she ...... Or is it the goat ....... Wouldn't want that on your ..... I mean their conscious ....... Would you .... I mean they ?
Yes but only to supplement. The original kit or however you adapt it from the supplied parts within should be the feature. The brick paper should only be used to help in grafting multiples of the original kits. The original kits should still be recognisable in whatever form you choose to build it on.
You have asked my question for me Paul. As the competition is 'kit bashing', I would have expected other materials would be allowed to be used to graft such models of grandeur together. Thanks Toto for your definitive answer, because that weighbridge of mine has turned into a block of flats ! Cheers, Gary.
Ok game on I've now got the required elements to build part 2 of comp 1 (the vino blanco's in the fridge ... or is that the goat... I'd better check) Ian Attached files
Ah yes, nothing like chilled goat on a warm summers day ! That's some card you got there Ian. Like me, are you turning your coal office into a block of flats ?? Cheers, Gary.
Not quite Gary mines going to be a bungalow building ... ? ... sorry I'll revise that... a bungled low building Ian
Component parts gathered just got to fathom out what to do with them...? ... I wonder goat pen maybe ...(I'm only working on this cos it's too hot outdoors) Ian Attached files
