This winter’s challenge will focus on four broad categories giving members plenty of leeway when choosing projects.
Category 1: Fallen Flags: Build a model from any manufacturer that has shut its doors. (Structures, Rolling Stock, Motive Power, Vehicles, etc.)
Category 2: Broaden Your Horizon: Build a model using a material that you haven’t tried before. (Styrene, wood, resin, metal, cardstock, plaster, you get the idea). Or, build a type of model that you have never built before (a steam locomotive kit comes to mind).
Category 3: Build From Scratch: Scratch build anything and bring us along for the ride.
Category 4: Kitbash: Take an existing kit and make it into something different. (Must use at least half of the parts of the ‘main’ kit, and add at least 25% of ‘new material’. New material can come from another kit or from material in your stash.
You can start choosing and building immediately, and start posting when I open the Challenge Thread on December 1st in the Mike Chambers’ Craftsman’s Corner. (Yes, I’m starting the Challenge earlier this year as I’ve noticed some participants running out of time in the past.) We will still use April 15th as the end date of the challenge.
