 | | Proposal: TOWN building contest
|
|
(Forgot to post this to .announce originally - FUT .town) In the spirit of the recent Classic Space building contest, I'm proposing (and am willing to organise) a building contest for us TOWN junkies. I have some ideas of how we can do it (and I've (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.announce) !

I think there should be these categories (the ideas below a category are sub categories) -boats/ships -frieghter -personal -military -comercial -industrial( tankers chemical ships) -buildings: - commercial -residential -industrial -train -government (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.town)

(...) If you don't believe the piece count, consider that in your voting. If you think the modeler squeaked under the category size limit by using large, rare pieces, and you don't think that's fair, consider that in your voting. Personally, I don't (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.town)

I like the idea, but why not add Town Layout into the fray as a category... I've seen some pretty nice layouts of towns, and there are some that have a lot of interesting views, facts, and creativity associated with the town... that's my (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

I love the idea of a town building contest and I already have some models picked out for entry. I think that a person should be allowed to enter one(and only one) model into each catagory. For voting each person gets to vote for one model in each (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

I like the idea of adding a Town Layout as a category. I am in the process of setting up my town after 20 years of collecting. I would love you take some pictures of it and have it judged. Very Good Idea. (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I have two remaining problems with placing DATs in the same categories as photos. First, you can use any number of rare pieces. Second, you can build things that *attach* like real-world pieces but you aren't limited to building structures (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I agree. Building in "Real Life" is an additional challenge. One could think of it as "Built Projects" vs. "Project Proposals." I've seen architecture exhibits where the designs were never expected to be built -- they were extreme solutions (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

(...) I think your categories are too small. As someone stated, 1000 pieces makes only a medium-sized model. The organ in my church might use more than that. I still like subjective size categories. The contest guidelines may quantify what is a (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)

<snip> (...) I agree with Suz with an additional comment. The "wow" factor of seeing a picture using real bricks is different (not saying better, not saying worse - just "different") than the "wow" factor of seeing a DAT/CAD rendition. Both are (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.town)
