Blog Entries: 1  | Defo, it could run at the same time, would we need the the same cato*** rating though? If that's the right way to at all?

Blog Entries: 4 | I honestly don't think we have enough people in the top cats to warrant it. We'll have 3 or 4 in the gold, 6-7 in the silver, and about 30 in bronze.

Blog Entries: 1 | I think thats OK. PS I meant Category! I must have spelt it very wrong!! Being that do we need a category system in the conversion comp? It's either that or do age Category's. I dont know. I'd put myself in gold, I know I wouldnt win, but I would enjoy being up against the whoever, even if it was ony two or three other people.

Blog Entries: 6 | a conversion contest......i hvaent built anything in a while...and today...i feel alittle crazy... maybe even crazy enough to enter the gold catagory. But at any rate. i would definatly be interested, i know ive literally only just got here but...ive been itching to put something cool togther for a while. thats the best part for me, modeling, simply because thats where the magic happens. and you get these people who think of something crazy, and it looks crap on paper.....but when it goes togther. it looks cool, just like scrap gargant at my local GW. its head was almsot as big as mine! untill they toned it down alitte...someone gaven them a lith to play with just for th damn head..... but i digress. I like it, lets roll with it.

Blog Entries: 4 | True. But since your average wookiee is 7 foot something anything smaller than that is acceptable.

| hmm. haha okay mart i get your idea now :P over on relic they have multiple categories as well, which is nice because it gives up-and-coming converters a chance at doing well and not getting quashed by people who are known to be good at modelling ! :P lol i'd likely not enter in the top category as well, but that's okay. this would be cool :] now...we'd just need judges [or a poll of some sort], people to oversee it and dates and times...

Blog Entries: 10 | Ok it was my idea so i'll take the lead on this! Rules. (the stupid stuff nobody pays attention to) 1. All Entries must be a "NEW PROJECT" there are many ways to verify this. a. a newspaper clipping. b. photo metadata. etc. 2. You must start from scratch. IE NEW MODEL. and take pics from what it was all the way through. 3. You will have 1 month to complete it. 4. 3 Stages of Competition Stage 1 - Rookie (yup that about sums it up) Stage 2 - Experienced (you've done a few but nothing outrageous) Stage 3 - The Dead Commando. (you know what i mean.) Prizes will be determined there will be a winner and runner up in each category. Comp will start on the 1st of January.
