For the long winter evenings until spring we feature some new competition devoted to the topic "Winter Warrior".
Welcome are 1:35 models of every nation in the time frame from 1900 to 2014!
It must be military vehicles or former civilian who were militarized.
The decision criterion is the presentation with camouflage and accessories which makes your vehicle for winter use. Should you be unsure whether your model fits to the criterias - please ask BEFORE!
The modeller is absolutely free to decide how to design the vehicle - it is only important that is clearly seen that there is a vehicle in winter conditions. Only the vehicle and everything ON / IN the vehicle counts. Diorama groundwork and figures in addition to the vehicle are not taken into account.
We have made for better comparability two categories:
- one for wheeled vehicles and
- one for full-track and half-track vehicles.
When the deadline is reached, an international jury review the entries. The winners will be announced, when all entries are reviewed.
Prices for the highest ranked entries are listed at the bottom of this page: panzer-modell.de/spe..r-contest/winter.htm . Thanks to our sponsors at this point! Of course there will once again be at least one ticket price, which is drawn among those who have not come to the winner ranks. So everybody has a chance to win something, the profit of course should not be the driving force to take part, but the fun and the experience.
For now, I wish happy modeling, lots of fun and success. If you have questions, contact thomas.hartwig@panzer-modell.de
Before submitting photos of your "Winter Warrior Model", please check, if they meet the below mentioned criteria!
Guidelines for the submission of photos for the contest:
- The scale of the model is 1:35
- The model is a military vehicle in winter outfit.
- The model must not be published before the end of the evaluation elsewhere (internet, print media, etc.)!
- Per modeller only one (1) model may be submitted per category.
- Photos - your photos must fulfill the following criteria:
-- some photos (more than 1) of the construction and painting process
-- about 6 total shots and 2 - 5 detail shots of the finished model
-- take photos of your model against a neutral background (Photo paper, etc.). Not allowed are backgrounds like grass, bedding, carpets, etc.!
-- Photos of the model only without any diorama or other base plate!
-- Try to take fotos best at daylight, because it gives best quality.
-- Avoid blurred or shaky photos by using a e.g. tripod for the camera.
-- Photos that are out of focus, blurred, sharp only in some areas, too dark, with intense color cast or small, have little chance of being one of the top courses! Not because the quality of images is poor, BUT because we can not judge the quality of the model!
-- For tips on model photography, I recommend the following article: panzer-modell.de/tip..rafie/fotografie.htm (Sorry, in German only!)
- Last, but not least, please provide a text file with some information about the kit, accessories and colors used, as well as your name, address and email address.

The decision is final!
In this sense, HAVE FUN and GOOD LUCK !
