Dear modellers,

in October we are going to start a topics/category for the contest categories (each topic for each category). Submission = registration, agreement on terms of the contest.

We are happy to announce also that we have a partner FreeTimeHobbies where winners will have some discounts. More details in October.

If you have any questions, please post it here.

May I ask why you have restricted it to just two scales?

us poor 1:600 scale model makers are left out of everything!

You're right, we may create a separate category. Let us think a bit, focus on doing your best making models and we'll see soon what to deal with this topic.
