Rules for the new Model of the Month.

1. Entries must be of your own work.
2. The model must be of an aircraft.
3. The model can be in any scale and in any medium.
4. The model can be “out of the box”, scratch built, or anything in between.
5. The model must be finished within the month for which it is entered. The model could have been started some time before the MOM for which it is entered, it is the month in which it is actually finished that counts. So if it isn't finished this month it may be ready for next month or the month after
6. 1 picture is to be uploaded into the relevant gallery and titled with what the model is of, I.E. VS Spitfire Mk Vc. No composites. This picture must be of just the model, no base. (For a model posed in the "in Flight" configuration" a small stand is allowed which can be used to either support the model or as a counter weight. A beaching dolly can be used for a float plane.
7. A thread will be opened in the general aircraft forum in which you can add up to 3 further pictures and details about the build. The model can appear on a base or even in a diorama in this thread. Pictures must not be larger than 700 pixels wide, in either the gallery or the information thread. If you wish to post further pictures then open your own thread.
8. Pictures of models can be placed in the gallery from the first of the month until the penultimate day of the month (the next to last day) (see “5” above). (This is to avoid the time zone difference, I'm working on GMT)
9. Voting will take place over the first half of the next month, closing on the 16th. (This will be between 18.00 and 00.01 GMT)
10. At the moment there are no prizes but this is being looked into.Dragon are sponsoring this from June 2007.
11. Staff members of the Kitmaker group of sites cannot enter.
12. The rules will be added to when and if it is deemed necessary.
13. Any none complience with these rules may result in disqualification.
14. Ignorance of these rules is not an excuse for not abiding by them.

Mal.
The link to the gallery works ok,but when I try to upload a photo theres no option in the drop down menu to upload into June MOM.
Is it just me having trouble in my old age?
Nige

Hi Nige,
Err, I'll take a look
I have uploaded a pic, but that doesn't mean that it's working for you
The link takes you straight to the June gallery and the upload butten is on the top banner. Take a look and get back to me if you still have no joy. I'll remove my, doubly, illegal pic when you have uploaded yours
It may be better, in the future, that the link takes you to just the MOM galleries, then you can choose where you need to be. It might save any confusion?

Hi Mal!

It's probably not working because the "usergroups can upload to this category" button wasn't checked for "Users".
It should work fine now...

Roden 1/32 Albatross D.III flown by Vizefeldwebel Jacobsen.


The flowers were individually hand painted. They are white with yellow centers.



This model has a thread started under the Early Aviation Forum titled "Roden's 1/32 Albatros D.III Daffodil Scheme"

Here's my entry it is Revell's (nee Hasegawa) 1/48 MK IX.C. It is built oob the only addition was an eduard etched seat harness. Finally got it finished through my boughts of sever depression. It was airbrushed using Humbrol Enamels and it was weathered and panel lined using artist oil's Paynes Grey. Tamiya weathering compacts rust, soot and oil were used to create the exhaust stains and general wear and tear on the aircraft.

Here's my entry for this month (i finished a couple of weeks ago but only took the photos tonight after realising that I haven't entered anything for this month.

It's the 1/48 Italeri Eurofighter with the Eduard etch set and Airwaves seat. It's finished in the Italian test scheme. I used Xtracolour paint for the main colour and Humbrol for other details the aircraft was given minimal weathering as it represents the prototype in the early stage.

Hey, it's still not too late to enter!
So here's my entry for this month's MOM.
P-39Q, 1:48 scale, built from Eduard's kit.
For detailing, I used a PE set from the same manufacturer ( I didn't get the profipack version in the first place), .50 cal machine gun details from Aires for the fuselage MG's. The brake lines in the landing gears are thin wire instead of the flat PE offered in the detail set. I also ditched the cannon part offered in the kit (nothing more than a solid plug of plastic) and made a new one from brass tubing and a left-over smoke launcher part from a Stug III kit. The kit-supplied plastic pitot tube was also replaced with a scratch-built one made from metal tubing and stiff wire.
The model was painted with acrylics, mostly by lifecolor and xtracrylics. Kit-decals were used. Weathering was done mainly with pastel dust.




Additional pics as well as WIP shots can be found in the two "down low" campaign official threads. (the links lead to the page where I started posting pics)
