Model building competitions are the ideal platform for any model builder to show their competence and creativity. In fact, just being in the company of like-minded people can be motivation enough. One of the most famous model building competitions is the Scale Award created by global model manufacturer Revell.
Announcing the 2012 Scale Award, Revell will award the coveted ‘Scale’ trophy to the best model of the year! Participants can choose any model kit and design but the key judgement criteria are creativity and attractiveness of each model. Once again the competition will be split into two categories – ‘adults’ (17 years+) and ‘teens’ (up to 16 years) – and the same rules apply to both categories.
In the first instance, all models submitted will be reviewed by an expert panel. The ten best models per category will be selected for display at the ‘modell-hobby-spiel’ fair in Leipzig in October 2012. Here the visitors will vote for the winning model.
The winner will receive the coveted model building award and an exclusive invite to the European market leader in plastic model kits for a behind-the-scenes day trip. There will also be some fantastic prizes for runners-up who come 2nd to 10th. The ‘teens’ category winner will receive a certificate and 200 Euros shopping voucher for model kits.
All participants should send detailed pictures of their models via post or email by 15th August 2012 at the latest. In order to review submissions properly, please add a short description of the model with the pictures, indicating its scale and additional parts used. Most importantly, full contact details including phone number must be enclosed.
