Let's just say, hypothetically, that I wanted to enter the Model of the Month for August. And let's just say that hypothetically, I couldn't find the right forum or site page to do that. What could I do to solve this problem?

I thought there was a sticky on the home page but no. Here is a link in the first post of this thread to send photos to Model of the month

I found it in the armor- contests forum

Hypothetically which model would you be entering?

Hypothetically I thought about entering my second model, a Panther G with over the top PE! But I think my mobile phone photography might put pay to that idea

Pat, thanks for that. I just couldn't find it

Andy, hypothetically it might be my 1/72nd Sturer Emil, with very little PE, and no personality to speak of. Hypothetically of course

Hypothetically - good luck

I notice they don't have the scale with the competition pics. I think they ought to?

I agree 100% . I think having the scale listed would be a good thing.

You can always include a paint jar next to the model so the visitors get the size without writing that.

I talked with Keith recently. There were few entries for August so it is combined with September and will be online soon.

Hi Guys

sorry for the delay, but we have been recieving less and less entries each month, last month it was two or three, this month was five so a little better.

In general I dont run the monthly contest with less than 5 models entered, i just hold them over until the next month.

if you want to see the contest continue then, we need to see people entering

The September entries are now up, and we are taking entries for the October Contest.

cheers

keith

I can say that from my perspective the high level of entries has kept me from entering assuming that mine were not up to the level of some of the past entries. Would it be worthwhile to post how many entries have been received periodically to help get more people entering?
