Time for a Challenge??

[Ralph]

Sure, I'll give it a go.

Well, That's 4 entrants so far., so it looks like we'll go in a few weeks. Maybe an October, November December Challenge, ending mid January (a few weeks after the holidays)..

We could use a few more people. ---- Anyone else have any suggestions of what could be incorporated into a scene? Anyone else interested in a bit of modeling??

How about, theme related mini scenes, lighting effects, animation? Maybe some humor, popular culture non railroad references like mini super hero figures incorporated into the diorama. (I was just at Ollie's today and they had some small star trek figures with heads about O scale and bodies as tall as HO figures but fat may get some.) I have a Smokey the bear figure, that will be somewhere on the P.Box diorama.

I am not going to give away my plans just yet but forced perspective will be a given. I have a new clean 16" x 16 " pizza box to play with but may go to GFS to see if they have a 24" x 24" box.

P. Box---Pizza box dioramas could we be on the verge of a new modular railroad standard???? :ugeek:

Eh, whatever it is we're doing I'll try it if I have time. Sounds like an opportunity to mix things up.

[ngauger]

Very cool ideas ..... We'll give leeway to partially finished work too

[ngauger]

OK... I'll try to finalize the guidelines in the next few days. Hopefully we'll start soon (in a week or 2) and end in January.

OK, If you will accept the Three Mast Schooner as " an added scenery item", the challenge would give me the incentive to "build faster/longer".
Considering the fact that this would NOT fit in a medium size Pizza box, and will take far longer than appropriate for this challenge, I have moved this project to the "All other hobbies" forum.
