Build Something Contest 2017

[Remgain]

James,

I'm so sorry but I'm out of the contest.
Unfortunately I had no ideas (quite strange as actually I have a degree in aeronautical engineering! ), or I had some ideas about crashed whatever, flying saucers, very pulp planes but at the end I had a look at the several projects waiting for me (WW2 Normandie village, minis and other for a Pulp Alley campaign, a couple (better: a couple of couples) of 1/56 tanks, etcetc. and so I decided to sit on the side and enjoy the competition.

Anyway, thank you for you efforts and organization!

What if you're already done?  (well, I haven't finished painting it yet....)

[beefcake]

Then you make all those that haven't started feel inadequate

What if you're already done?  (well, I haven't finished painting it yet....)

You have to wait until the end I'm afraid 

Finish painting it (but don't post any pip pictures) and then send it to the Build Something email.

cheers

I'm a newbie to LAF, and this is (obviously) my first BSC so I may be showing the wet behind my ears, but...

Just wanted to post a general/overall  WOW! to what I've seen so far on the builds.

I'm torn between "Just give up, you're out of this league" and "What an inspiration!"


Either way - thanks to the organizers and participants for presenting an excuse to wonder at and contribute to this hobby.

You are NEVER out of their league - we can all find ways to be awesome.  But I agree, the wealth of ideas to steal to look at is incredible.

I know what you mean. I think it is about playing to your strengths and pushing your limits/comfort zone. For me it is really hard to come by a lot of the resources available easily throughout Europe and the USA. Which would make things expensive, so improvisation is a must which which is what the comp is all about.
Saying that mine is just green stuff this year and I didn't need to dig into my rubbish, recycling and assorted bits and pieces

[OSHIROmodels]

I did.

I'll be sorting the email out tomorrow and will let you know, been a bit busy this week 

cheers

I would just like to say a big THANK YOU to everyone taking part! I don't think you'd find a competition anywhere, where the participants taking part actually give you help and encouragement during the process of building your entry!

Thanks guys and keep up the good work!

Indeed, it's inspiring to see the huge variety of concepts, techniques, models and banter
