A "scratchbuild off" sounds like fun and I would love to participate. Hopefully this can become something we do again and again. Some of us are retired and have more time than others to dedicate to modeling. I have read where some folks only have a couple-three hours a week for their hobby. I recommend keeping this in mind when setting start/end dates. The categories and the entry levels sound good. I guess the entries would have to be based on integrity. I.e. an experienced modeler would have to be honest enough to not enter his/her model as a "beginner". Enough "notice in advance" time should be allowed so that we have time to do research, get photos, drawings, etc. prior to starting the assembly/building process, again integrity would apply for the date you "started" building the model. Will you be considering those projects that are completely freelanced versus those that are a replica of a prototype?

Looking forward to the "scratchbuild off" and reading all the "help" and "how to" questions that will be propagated by this competion. I am sure this will be a GREAT learning experience for us all. Have you considered asking MR if they would/could help with certificates/ribbons for the winners. It would be nice for the winners to have something to display on their layout for their efforts. Maybe a special note under their number of stars here on the forum. Keep us up to date on your decisions.
