At a board meeting, at Black Hawk Models, where we were talking about sponsoring a Perky Postal contest, and we all agreed that it would be a boost for the speed fliers, an idea was born "Would a scale postal contest be possible and would it help promote Scale modeling?" After tossing this idea about for a bit we came up with some ideas about it. The advantage of this contest is that instead of having the same models that show up at every meet and take all of the trophies, every one will have to compete with the same model. That means you will need to build this winter. We are hoping that this will bring more people into the contest because they will not have to compete with those professionally built models, they will have a fair chance to build a nice looking model and win a nice trophy.
Proposed rules:
Contest ends August 11, 2008
Award: First place Picture of model w/builders name on box label.
