Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - ezdays - 05-29-2024 Here’s what's up. We’re going to have a building challenge that we hope will suite everyone at every level of skill or modeling preferences. This one is all about building, refinishing or picking up where you left off. This will apply to anything railroad, structures, scenery, rolling stock, anything you can build new or refinish. You can only enter one category once, but you can pick as many categories as you want to enter, but each entry must be finished by the due date to qualify in the judging thread. Here are the categories:
Start a new thread (or threads) as follows:
To answer a few questions ahead of time, just by definition:
Remember, let me know in this thread what categories that you are entering so I can keep track, then open a new thread here for each of you entries. The last time we ran a similar challenge, we had quite of few people enter, we hope the same holds true this time. RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - TMo - 05-30-2024 I'm in! Layout addition, please! Considering the contest rules, I will not be going dark on the build and will post to my contest page as requested! Tmo Layout Addition '24 build challenge RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - ezdays - 05-30-2024 I also have a layout addition. I built a couple of log cabins a while back, my intent was to place them in a park for historical display. This may not be a difficult project, but it will get me back onto my layout. RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - ezdays - 05-30-2024 Entries are as follows: Scratchbuilt structure Kit build structure
Layout addition (structures, scenery)
Rolling stock kit build,

RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - tompm - 06-04-2024 I still have not settled on what I am going to at this point. I was thinking of doing a Lundy Studio building kit but I am not sure if I am up to that level of work. I know I want to do some rolling stock kits but again I need to choose which ones. I could also throw in the bridge area section of the layout upgrade. RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - ngauger - 06-09-2024 I'm going to try something completely different...... I'm going to 3D print and assemble a railroad car. Possibly a box car RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - ezdays - 06-09-2024 (06-09-2024, 06:45 PM)ngauger Wrote: I'm going to try something completely different...... Okie-dokie, I'll just add you to "rolling stock, scratchbuild".... That's great, can't wait... RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - tompm - 06-14-2024 I am finally going to commit. Okay maybe partially. I will be doing a one or more kit build structures. The likely candidates are subway entrances and a yet to be chosen building. Layout addition: The bridges area. Rolling stock kit build: Many to choose from. Unfinished project (any not more than half finished): I need to go through the piles and see if any fit the bill.

Got ya down for 3 out of 4 RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - nachoman - 06-21-2024 It's been a bit of a brainstorm to figure out what to do, as the micro layout I am working to complete has little room left for more structures or scenery. BUT - I have a bunch of half-completed HOn3 boxcars I began about 10 years ago that need completing. Or I am considering a very small triangular layout extension to turn a rounded corner into a square corner - to include a cattle pen. RE: Pick your poison 2024 build challenge: - Amalynn - 06-24-2024 Let me go through all of my stuff and see if I can find a good candidate for the challenge. |
