COMPETITION RULES

Judging will be by a panel of appointed judges, whose decision will be final.  In the event of a dispute the Show Organiser will have the ultimate decision.

‘Junior’, denotes any person who is UNDER 16 on the day of the show

The following models are not permitted to enter:   

1.     Models which are not complete or finished.

2.     Models which are not predominantly the work of the entrant.

3.     Models built by professional modellers which have been constructed using means not available to the average modeller, such as machine tooling, etc.  If in doubt, please ask!

4.     Models which may cause offence, such as ‘glamour’ models.

Bases are permitted on all models; however, with the exception of the diorama classes, groundwork must be kept to a minimum.  Trees and fixed structures of any kind are not permitted.  In all but the diorama classes, a maximum of one figure is permitted on the ground, provided it relates to the vehicle.  Figures are allowed on the vehicle.  Vehicle dioramas must include at least one vehicle.

The judges will be evaluating models on a number of points, including choice of subject, degree of difficulty, finish, accuracy, and presentation.   This does not mean that a difficult scratchbuilt project will automatically impress the judges more than a straight kit built model.  Their judging will take account of the type of model they are evaluating.

While every effort is taken to ensure the safety of models, and prevent damage, no liability is accepted by the organisers, and entry is at the owner's risk.  We reserve the right to move models for organisational, promotional, or photographic reasons.

Entry into the competition denotes understanding and acceptance of the rules.
