How about a 'Custom Of The Month' competion?

[paulitoy]

If a few other forum members do the same, then the winner of each top ten could be entered into a "greatest custom ever" poll ?

Yes! Excellent logical progression Andy!

An eventual Champions League of everyone's best work!

Excellent idea.

It'll give us something to argue over for the next few months...!

is this gonna run with what im suggesting, or should i not bother? if no one is going to enter an actual custom contest then i'll give it a miss.

It looks like we have 2 running at the same time Ross

no mate run the competition. i'm in and it may give me the push i need to actually finish some customs i've been working on.

re- the top 10, great idea only i dont think i have 10 customs.
i've only finished about 7 (and even they arent finished to my satisfaction) tho i have a few wips.

dont see any problem with running 2 polls.

maybe, we will see. i think there may be a bit of a divide so might not be worth doing a contest as well as this.
hey ho, we will see.
would be nice if both can run, i wont be entering this one but only coz i also dont have 10 i am happy with! i could put 20 in, but i dont work like that. would in the future, once i have stock piled!

Some of mine aren't finished either Bill someone I think it was the Baron asked me will I be decorating my Dragonfly I would like to but can't get the decals needed only GI Joe ones from Cobra Stickers, and I would like Shadow logos to hopefully complete my Red Laser I'm not sure if I made the black area on his helmet too big or too small where the logo goes

i'd be up for this but as i've only done one custom so far and am nowhere near finnished the next i can't see myself being featured in this much but anyway if this does happen how about the winning custom from each month goes into a draw at the end of the year to vote for the best custom of the year with 1st 2nd & 3rd place?...

[The Baron]

I think this will work easier if everybody submits their own favourite custom, and we vote. Submitting ten and getting people to vote on each contestant seems a bit long-winded to me.

I really think scrap the "no voting for yourself" policy, it'll be impossible to enforce - not only that but you may actually think that your own custom is better than the others!

So, let's not have a divide, rather than peeling off into separate camps let's hammer this out now.

I propose everybody submit their own favourite custom thus far to get the ball rolling, we'll vote for that on the 1st of July, and from the 1st of August onwards have custom of the month - I shall update the archives this week.

I'm now against splitting figures from vehicles, the archives aren't arranged that way. A custom is a custom.

I'm thinking of posting the top five results in the Winners gallery with a homepage link.

A grand "Custom of the year" every year is also a great idea, that one can have actual prizes as we did with the 25th anniversary draw. We could hold it on the 8th of October each year.

Any objections / observations / off-topics?

[Red Laser]

Ok sounds better will re-paints still be counted as customs or just 100% customised figures/vehicles?

[The Baron]

Definitely! I thnki submissions should be anything and everything.
