Picked up the entry form a couple of days ago. And yes, I am planning on
entering my Millennium Falcon. Of course it will be difficult to capture all
it's glory with a single photograph. It's the guts of the thing that, in my
opinion, make it pretty cool.
For example, I'm just finishing modification which will put in two gunner
compartments sized for a minifig to fit into each one. This modification forced
me to tear out the entire inside core of the ship and build it back up again.
Now it sports two gunner chambers with a ladder connecting the two with access
to the ladder from the main deck. Both gunners are rotated with one micromotor
controlled from outside the hull. If my macro lense is good enough, I may be
able to capture a photo with Luke looking down/up the tunnel to Han Solo.
In all, I suspect I could take 25-50 pictures to show the details. Like one
picture with the light laser cannon stowed in the hull, another with it
extended and ready for action.
The entry form says to submit one photograph. Guess there's nothing saying I
couldn't submit an entire portfolio.
Regardless, I have until December to do all my modifications.
And as I understand the 17 and over category, there will be only one winner,
and there is pretty tough competition out there.

| Ben, Something to consider too, 60% of the decision is based on creativity/originality, only 40% on the engineering. That makes me think they are going to lean towards orginal designs, not models of existing Starwars ships. I'm going to submit my (...) (26 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
