Af Model Contest #2

I think that AF should host another MODEL contest like before, That was wonderful, and Id like to enter my recent cars, which are better than the previous ones... Anyone else interested?

A new rule:
Previous Winners, May not enter.

:flash: :flash: :flash:

i like the idea. but hen again, do we send pics via here or do we have to attend?

The AF contest was a 'Model of the Year' competition so it will happen again at he end of the year. In the meantime there is the ITR comp, rumours of a civic comp and whatever else arrises.

The previous winner rule is a bad one IMO, you scared of competition?:D

yes..





Well what bout a TEEN model comp... can i organize an af one....ALL people who entry 18<....?

do agree with FOTW that it is a best model of the year comp.

And I guess if you want to have a monthly contest, take a look at Best model of the month (http://www.hrmodeler.com/BMOM)
which is hosted by fellow AF-er Hrmodeler , it's each omnth with great prizes.

And the youngsters one competition... I don't really know, maybe can you have a category at the AF model on the month just for the teenagers?
But I guess they will feel disadvantaged, to only compete apart. I would feel dissapointed to be put in the teenagers category... but then I m no teenager anymore ...

These are just my 0.02 €

Then we can have one for the 18> people........

And we can have one for the newbies, and one for the seasoned modellers, and one for the people that build box-stock and one for people that modify their models and detail them, and one for imports and one for muscle cars, and one for regular domestics and one for members from Europe and one for members from Canada......

Sorry, getting carried away there:D

Thats funny stuff......

Sorry I havent been here long enough to make a good response to this.
From what I hear it doesnt sound like a bad idea to maybe split up the age groups. Yet I agree that now is not the right time, simply becuase there IS plenty of contests going on right now including the Rally Contest and the ITR Comp.

Yup.. Agree..
Currently there is 2 competition going on..
I prefer that the AF Competition to be held at the End of the Year~

Eh.. it would be challanging if the previous winner join again since it is only once a year. ;) :D

i agree with FOTW, im already trying to amek plans for a model that will blow every one away,

Personally I think the idea of a Junior or 'teen' comp of some sort is a good one. If you get plenty of interest, i'm sure that you will, then i don't see why there can't be a comp. It would be best to have one of the Mods organise it though, hey i may even donate a prize!

those are really some good ideas:D

I like the Import idea, but then again, Like every entry was an import , Except for the winner lol :confused:

i think if you want to make a competition thn you should be aloud to and (if the mods could pin it) then you(who started comp) have to organize and such.. so anyone wanna start one? import comp is a little big i guess... anyone have more ideas?

oh and teen comp is good idea, but whats your idea of teen? 13 -19? my teen is like 12-15/16

So, if you're and AF member, please be at least 14. ;)

lol i didnt say i was 13 :D ok lets bump it to 14-17 (srre i forgot)

:flipa:

I like the teen idea also!...

I would say the teen competition idea is a very good idea. Integra14, as the person who thought of it, you should organise it. See if you can enlist FOTW and PMan and possibly some other "Greats" to be the judges. I would say 13-17 is an excellent age group. Too bad I'm too old to compete.....

You guys do some amazing stuff, especially considering your limited budgets and inability to just jump in a car and go buy whatever supplies/hop up parts you need. I'd love to see what you guys can muster!

After a lot of talking, and thinking, Ive decided that i will start a Teen Contest 0-18 years old. 18 Years old is reasonable, because after 18, you are no longer a child, and you have many more priveleges than teens. (ex: vote, lottery tickets, etc.) I am asking that alot of the Members will Judge the models, based on overall appearance, taste, and technical skill.

Rules:

You may only enter 1 CAR.

Send in Entries to ME via Private Message.

Send in Votes to ME via Private Message.

1 Vote, to make things alot simplier.

Each vote counts as 10 Points.



Any questions... OTHER than the date, cause i have not decided when it should take place... ANY specific suggestions?



Please, be honest.

also no voting if you signed Up after April 15th.

ok, well i didn't want to discourage Youngins 13<.... sorry, i was unaware..


soo the age would be 14-18

sounds good~ :)

i thjink that if you are only allowing 1 vote, why not make each vote count for 1 point, or 3 points, 10 seems a little high for 1 vote

it doesn't really matter, it just makes the scores higher, and I like the sound of it...

The AF MODEL OF THE YEAR is just like it says"Model of the year !!
I'll run the contest the same as last year. Entry will open on the 1-12-03 and close on 31-12-03.
All entry and voting will be done via PM's to me.
This is all we need as IMO this is the main one to win.
If you want to run smaller ones during the year like a ITR etc etc that's cool....but the grandaddy of them all is the MODEL OF THE YEAR :devil: :devil:
I'll be putting a nice prize together for the winner :cool:

Sorry...in NZ here most people put the date first then the month, followed by the year.

Same here is Australia. Makes more sense to go days-months-years. Month first is the American way.

P man, seems like oyu take care of us in times of confusion:confused: ;)

Theres a lot of members under 14, not saying any names, what if they're really good modelers? ... :o

They can be great modelers, but...Originally posted by jay@af

[the details]

Federal Trade Commission: Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule; Final Rule (http://www.ftc.gov/os/1999/9910/64fr59888.htm)
It says that websites have to use a different, stricter privacy policy for users under 13. AF has elected to avoid the issue by simply not allowing members under the age of 13.

so is it 13 and under, or under 13?

so is it 13 and under, or under 13? Good question... I noticed that, too. I think it used to only ever say 13 and under. I don't know.

I left a note for our lawyer...

In other words, the logical way ;).

Sounds like I joined up a couple of months too late to enter last years one, but I'll be sure to enter this years one :D.

About the teens contest, if it goes ahead, I think it should be a month after the ITR contest, so people have time to start focusing on another model.

alright, how many teens are interested... just say the next consectutive number



1




PS: the Prize given from me, is 4 exhausts + 2 intercoolers to the winner

id consider it, but im not sure. that prize isnt enough for me, and the fact that it wont have that much recognition, also turns me away.

ok to make it interesting....I'll throw In some PE parts and A Kit to the Winner...an Unopened Ford Focus WRC ....does THAT steer you away supratuner?

Ok, Thank you much!

im in no doubt, and the exhaust and intercooler i think is usless.. just give the winner a kit, u have many people willing to enter contest so why are u willing to give even more prizes? pointless..

hey now, i dont really want a focus, i dont like them;)


im just saying, that if there is aognna be a rpize, than i would rather it be some thing a little more hefty, if you cathc my drift.

You better add reading to that list of yours;).....I said:

typing and spelling lessons

I'm in. Hell, 4 exhausts and 2 intercoolers sounds good to me (just built 4 custom exhaust tips and have to paint them, but what the heck? save me some scratchbuilding). A kit would be nice, but who cares? I don't. I'm in, and I think my number is

4


Edit: And Brian, you are 19, remember? Too old to play with us kids.

No ray, i just skimme dove rit and saw, tthe words typing lessons, i dont proof read what i type, so thats why it sucks so bad, i type 4th best in my keyboarding class.
