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
-chruches
-multipul element secnes:
(judged on the layout of the diarama and creativity of the modeler)
-cars-4 wide:
6 wide etc
-industrail
-commercial
-personal
-structures:
-bridges
-etc:
-city parks
-seattle needle/ CN tower/ tokyo tower type stuff
- Airports
-planes:
-military (no space)
-comercial
-private
prize of some sort????
I think model size by peices would be to hard to tell because of modeler
honesty. and makeing a lego set type category would just be like giving a
two year old peices and expecting him to build crap.
