2) Remember to state what category (either Advanced or Intermediate/Beginner) you would like to compete in.

As a further request, please submit your entries as ZIP or RAR files instead of individual multiple files if at all possible. For ZIP files, if you are running Windows 2000 or XP (not sure about Vista), you do not need any special software to create a ZIP (Compressed) folder. Simply highlight the files you want to zip, right click, and choose "Send To", then "Compressed (zipped) folder" and Windows will automatically create a ZIP folder for you with the selected files. You can then attach the ZIP file as an email attachment or directly to a NRC ticket instead of having to do it individually for 10+ photo files.

Remember that to much sunshine is bad for your health. So is eating burnt, raw meat...
So for your own good, get back inside, and finish your entry for this months competition.


Cheers

Entry came through just fine Ralph, good luck in the contest!

Still 6 days left to wrap up that final project and get it in as an entry! I'm sure with the conclusion of DX '07 and IPMS Nats that the August prizes will be something worthwhile for those who enter.

A recent post in another thread raised the question about whether or not entries have to be DML kits and the answer, for the benefit of all considering entering this month or future months, is no. We've had many entries, and winners, over the past few months that were from several different manufacturers as well as DML.

DML sponsors the prizes and the contest, but any scale, any manufacturer kit, can be entered provided it meets the rules of the Contest linked to in the first post in this thread. If anyone's been holding back from entering under this assumption, my apologies, but it's referred to as the Dragon Model of the Month only because of the prize sponsorship.

Hello!

Just a quick question, is one person allowed to submit multiple models? I ask this only because to be on the safe side I will upload the finished model pictures today, but I think I will finish another project tomorrow also.

Siim,

Multiple entries are allowed provided they meet with the rules outlined in the contest (must be separate vehicles).

David,

Your entry came through just fine, good luck in the contest!

Tomorrow (Aug. 31st) is the deadline for entry submissions so we are coming down to the wire before the submission period ends and the voting begins!

Sam,

We did get your files, good luck in the contest!

Mateusz,

Your entry was recieved however since it's on a base with ground-work, it's not eligible for the contest as you've entered it. If you can take some photos of it off the base, you can still enter. You should receive a PM or email from Henk (I'm on vacation all next week or it would be from me) to help with this sometime today.

Well, I can't get into the NRC (Username, e-mail, etc...are all used but my password is not working - i will e-mail Jim) and my e-mail to Support(at) Armorama bounced back.

By any chance did you get it?

The email can't be larger than 5M. I had that problem too, but resolved it.
