For these contests, are they generally for models already built? Or is the category given and then there is time to build it?

So far they been pretty informal, since it's not really a model builder's site and just really a place to show off and have fun.

What do you have going? I have an M10 TD that's been "in progress" for about a year.

I don't have anything going yet, but have been thinking of bulding something. I pretty much got rid of most of models a long time ago.
I'm bouncing all over on what I want to build, so I was hoping a contest would give me focus

Hey, thanks.

I'd love to. So far, it consists of a XXV u-boat (the minelayers), a small F15 without wheels, a spitfire which i have misplaced, a blackhawk which i misplaced and an apache attack helicopter which was ruined when a someone thought that the rotors could move.

Once i've finished painting it, i'll post the U-boat.

After nearly 20 years I have just started getting back into models, mostly 1/72. I was doing resin parts when most folks had never heard of it. We used dental resin. I am pretty advanced and there are more resources than I would ever believed there would be. I also build vehicles from flat stock plastic. If you ever need some really big sheets of plastic go to the closest home building supplier and purchase a flat shower surround. It is good quality PBS and it is easy to work with. I first came across them 25 years ago when I was building houses. Also if you need tools check out the jeweler supply houses. You can get some really high quality tools to work with and mold silicon can be purchased in larger quantities for less. I am a retired jeweler and that is what I use my tools for mostly these days. Ditch the Dremel and get yourself a Fordom. The Fordom uses a key chuck, has much more power and will out last a Dremel.

I mostly do WW2 era German AFVs, military vehicles and aircraft because of the variety of vehicles and equipment they used and pressed into service.

I do/have built other countries WW2 era vehicles, ships and plains but it just seems that the Axis countries had more of a variety and also more bastardized vehicles, ships and plains.

Armor: Y (biggest catagory for me, mostly 1:35)
Cars: Y (a few, not many)

I used to do 1:285 scale war gaming (painting the little lead armor, artillery and infantry miniatures and scratch building some aircraft), but haven't been involved in this in about 15 years.

So when are you going to start posting pics of your builds?

Its a pretty easy crowd to please around here. No one hammered me on the Van Valkenburg build that I posted pics of. No rivet counters around here so post away.

I'll even make a deal with you. Start posting and I will post pics of the 1/350 Mo that I'm going to start building soon (as soon as I order the PE sets and finish up 1 or 2 things on the bench now).

Or the 83 era Jersey I have in 1/700.

Get posting Whiskey

This is a ~1:20 scale diesel generator built from medical supply remanents (hoses are IV tubes), sprues, and sheet stock... a big deisel hemi, and all the subsystems are modeled
