New LY01 'Boxfile' kit from Scalescenes

No worries.

The nature of the kit suggests that if a number of competitors built it as it is, they would all end up with the same outcome maybe with just a difference in the quality of build alone. So with that in mind, I wanted to think on what would be allowable to " individualise " each submission.

With that in mind, if you have the means / ability to change colours etc, that's great. I'd go as far to say that you can do whatever you want with the kit including altering the original layout of the various elements as long as the original individual elements are not physically changed ( with the exception of colouring / weathering etc )

You could also introduce another opening in an existing wall and another door as long as the parts come from within the kit as provided.

You cannot introduce other styles or variations of doors and windows that are not derived from the originals. It's all about using what is supplied within the kit.

The only thing outside the kit that would be allowed would be weathering materials / powders etc which add to the kit.

For example you could weather the concrete yard down but could not change it to a tarmac one.

Please feel free to ask more questions and when I think we have exhausted the main ones, I shall set the final rules based on my original idea plus any clarifications. I'll set the completion date at the same time along with any other rules.

The full rules will be out shortly. I'm delighted to see there is such good interest. To answer the questions raised above though, it will be a box file competition and can be modelled in any of the scales for which it has been designed by John for. This will rule out O Gauge.

Oliguex for the delay in the rules, they will follow soon.

Fair enough,
The way it reads though gives the wrong impression. however obviously that is not the case.
Sorry for getting it wrong.

Ok ..... and the rules.

This is the Scalescenes box file challenge. This competition is based around the new Scalescenes layout kit in a box. So ..... yes ..... it does need to be a box file layout as the kit was intended for.

The kit can be constructed in any scale which has been marketed on the Scalescene site and for what the kit has been intended for sale, including any variant of 4mm, ie P4 etc.

You must stick with the parts as made available with the kit but they can be altered. For example,e, if you want to insert another door opening or window somewhere ...... feel free. You can only use the doors and windows as supplied with the kit though.

If you have the ability to change the colours of the kit through your own software medium, ...... that's allowed but only the colours, not the printed detail etc. The name of the game here is to encourage a bit imagination in the use of the kit parts made available.

You can completely change the layout of the diorama as long as you only use the parts available. You could for example cut parts shorter or use multiple repetitive printed parts to create a longer wall or roof section etc.

You can weather the buildings etc with the addition of powders and flocks etc. You can also add up to a maximum of 10 detailing parts, no more. A part would be 1 figure, 1 vehicle, 1 barrel or pallet etc.

The competition will end on the last day of March. There is one prize which is a Class 05 Hunslet loco ( OO scale ) in BR green with wasps.

Anybody can enter with only one submission per member. The usual rules apply, we will be judging on the model itself, the quality of the progress post etc and individuality / inguinuity of the submission.

So ....... thems the rules. If you have any questions ....... ask away.

Cheers

I'll allow the use of a sector plate. That will allow a bit more operational potential. It's not necessary though.

 

You can feel free to add a sector plate if you wish to build one. I'm feeling generous. ...... must be the time of year. I'm getting soft.

 

that's all down to opinion. It works long enough for me.
