THE CONTEST:

Build a model that fits into any Sci-Fi universe, existing or imagined. It can be as simple or as complicated as you like, scratch built or from a kit, but you only have until MAY 31st to complete your model!

SUBMISSION:
There are two steps to entering this contest;

First, create a new thread, here in the General Modeling forum with the title: "[Your board name]'s 2014 Model Contest Entry"

In the first post of your thread, tell us what you are planning to build, and what medium(s) you plan to use. While it is not required, we'd also like you to include a little about your skill and experience as a modeler and any tips you might like to share. When making your first post you must post one photo with your kit (or starting pieces if a scratch build) and a newspaper with today's date to ensure that the build was started after the contest began. Having the RPF in the background with the contest thread open will also suffice. Before the end of the contest, you must also post at least two "in progress" photos of your model into your thread and of course a FINAL photo of your finished model.

Second, post a link to your entry in this thread.

HOW WINNER IS DETERMINED:
Entries are due by end of day May 31st, 2014. Submissions will be judged by RPF Staff members.
Submissions will be judged on three criteria; creativity/originality, execution/quality, and “wow-factor.”
We will announce the winner around the June 15th.

THE PRIZES:
The contest will have ONE winner and that winner will receive a Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper Helmet from eFX (approx a $600 value).

I just started a thread for a 1;6 scale Titan Atlas, from TITANFALL... I haven't started building yet, so would that count? It would be a scratch-build, and I will definitely have to be creative considering the limited reference material. I did all my measurements last night and I will start building today. I was hoping to enter it in the contest though because it'll give me a reason to hustle. Please let me know ASAP. Thank-you
