Well, in my opinion... which is what I'll be going by with my votes, I'd
define Blacktron-ism by:
- The color scheme is black with yellow glass. Detailing is done with
yellow and with trans-red.
- The figs are all black with the signature Blacktron chest. If you don't
have one, an all-black guy with a black visor would be a decent stand-in.
And if you choose your camera angles carefully, we'll never know anyway.
- The model is modular in some way, and preferably compatible with your
other entries. I don't see this as required for the smaller categories, but
it is a huge plus. Almost as much as the color scheme, this defined the
subtheme.
- The style is similar to the original sets. This is very subjective, but
applies to level of detail, types of parts, etc.
- The logo would be nice... but more importantly, the lack of *other* logos.
Also, I can loan a fig for picture-taking purposes to anyone in the Seattle
area who wants to enter. I'd imagine that if any of you have a friend with
a BT figure, that person would likely be willing to loan it to you.
Note that I would rate the Meteor Monitor very low... I don't really
consider it a Blacktron set, as it a has different color scheme from all of
the other sets in the series. Your mileage may vary.

Yes- as I said above, this is how *my* votes will lean. Vote otherwise if
you want, and don't count on the above guidelines working for everyone else.
