Sounds good to me. Better make sure we have that category :-)

I think we could have different scales without too much trouble, and making
it minifig-only excludes people like Gary Istok who build to classic scale.
What do others think?

Sounds good.... would 1000 pieces make a good cutoff? 1000 pcs is only a
medium-sized model really (like my Victorian House).

I like adding Public to this - good - but I stll think multi-building
complexes should have their own category.
> Train-related buildings(small and large categories)
> Personal vehicles (1 category)

Hmmmm... there's a big difference between what you can do in 4-wide and
what's possible in more than 4-wide, I'd like to see the 2 categories for
each. If we're going to include planes, I really think they need a separate
category.
> Trains (1 category)
Noooooo! Trains need their own separate competition otherwise this will just
get too unweildy!
> Boats/Ships (small and large categories)
> Structures (bridges, etc) (1 category)
I agree
> DAT-only (all types) (small and large categories)
2 choices here, I think: either include both DAT and real-life models in all
teh categories, or split all the categories above by DAT and real-life. I
think if we just have 2 categories for DAT models they would be over-filled
and hard to judge.
Thanks for your input Amy - hope more people speak up soon (if not, this
probably won't fly at all....)
