RE: Scale Contest
The more I think about it, my idea of a great scale "contest" would be a scale funfly with an optional judging table with TopGun quality judges/expert scale modelers there who would constructively critique any model presented but not bother assigning a score. In this perfect world, only Jet modelers would judge jets and only WWI specialists would judge WWI models, etc.
On the other hand, all it takes is one look at Pete McDurmott's Snipe to know what's wrong with mine. I don't need a judge to tell me what's wrong.
