Possible cancelling of AFMOTY 06

[Gamerxz]

Im still working on mine... i also have to take a nice picture to make it count

It'd be terribly dissapointing if this doesn't come off for lack of participation. There are plenty of great builds here, and they should all be entered - even not great! The whole idea behind the AFMOTY (in my mind) is less to crown the "best" model or modeler, but more to show what we can do, and to build the community aspect of this place. It's all a bit of fun, and is in my opinion, on of the many things that make this place so great.

I've been trying to enter for the past week. Probably have invested an hour, with no luck. The AF site will not accept my pictures, I have asked for help, followed the recommendations that did not work, asked for help again, and am still waiting for a response. I know it takes time and effort to put on a contest, but it also takes time and effort to enter. If you want more entries, maybe a little support would help, at least there would be one more entry that I know of... - Mark

If mine gets enterered, if at all, then you won't here from me til last minute as I'm still working on it. However, I doubt it will be finished in time so at the moment I have resigned to the fact that I won't be able to enter again this year.

It also takes time to try and answer all the questions that people keep asking that are clearly in the rules.

I speak for my brother, Marcus-rallye:


He wanted to enter a model, his wonderfull (my opinion, not objective I know ) 307 WRC 2005;
but once reduced in rules size, the pic is so poor that it doesn't show anything anymore except small squares of a red rally car...!
Is it possible to enter with a bigger pic ?
I don't know what to do except maybe taking new pics for him in lower res than for first sery...?

I may try tomorrow, if I can meet him cos' he work almost night and day these days (he is pastrycook and christmas & new year days are the worst of the year for him).

I really hope he would be able to enter as I don't have myself a model to enter before december 30th...

(wow, thinking of it, I didn't finish any models this year...?! )

No offense, but you must be doing something wrong. 640x480 is plenty big enough to see what's going on. For example, This pic is much smaller than the limit and there's lots of visible detail: (it's only 440x500, obviously not a car, but it's just for an example)

[Hawk312]

Pman,
I was planning on sending the Camaro in my sig when I get a chance to pick the best pic and get it to the right size. So that will make 13??

Yes, I may be doing something wrong but I can't see what...

My original pic is 1,2 MO heavy, and when reduced to the rules size... you know the rest. I thought it was too much to reduce to 640x480... If it's not that, I really don't see what I am doing wrong.


Well, talking about your example, thats a nice one for me !
apart rally cars I also paint and collect somes figures, especially samourai !!
what is this one ? I've never seen it...
is it 54 mm height ?
