RE: Future of the Scalemasters?
To Continue. Hers is an idea for all to consider. Would something like this work? Some may call this a dumbing down others may call it back to scale modeling reality.
STATIC JUDGING. 1. Two pictures only [one per page] The model is posed as shown in the full scale photos. Note! A new judging stand easily constructed has been designed
Once on the stand the model only moves left or right to accomodate the full size picture angles.
2. A short one page history of the full size for a total of 3 pages.
3. NO three views
Items to be checked and judged on the model vs the full size aircraft photos supplied.
1. How realistic does it look at the prescribed angles judging color,markings,details and shapes. Note! WW1 models may use a color rendition.
2. Each category has a maximum of 5 points for a total of 20 points.
FLIGHT JUDGES
1. Only 5 flying maneuvers and 2 ground maneuvers are to be judged plus the overall flight for a total of 8 maneuvers.
2. Ground maneuvers are takeoffs and landings and they include such things as taxi out and taxi back,wheel brakes,folding wings etc.
Another words HOW REALISTIC did it appear to the type of plane being judged. Note! The addition of a steering mechanism would be able to be used for
WW1 aircraft.
PILOTS
1. Model shall perform in a REALISTIC MANOR ony those maneuvers and ground characteristics applicable to the aircraft bing flown.
Seeing as I do not know how to transfer to the Scale Masters web site I would appreciate if someone could do that for me. Thank you in advance.
Finally Thank you all again for the comments
