When the Desert Scale Classic Management Team learned we had to cancel our traditional live Event here in Phoenix, we immediately started brainstorming to come up with a way to keep the show going. But how the heck do you do that in the middle of a pandemic, where we have to hunker down and isolate ourselves for a while? (Not that car modelers mind either hunkering down or isolating.) The fact is, for fifteen years we have all enjoyed the annual gathering of model car crafters known as Desert Scale Classic! Frankly, we were bummed that it was looking like we wouldn't be able to host our Sweet 16Event at all. We considered alternative dates and alternative venues (who knows how long this virus quarantine might go on, or if we would have to cancel yet again?). Then we hit on a somewhat wild and crazy idea – “If we can't count on a live venue, let’s just do DSC in a Virtual Venue, as a Virtual Championship, all online!” All Entries will appear on this website in the dscV16 Virtual Championship Gallery, arranged by category and published as they arrive. Each Entry will be represented in a folio of five to eight digital photo images provided by its builder. Entrants' names will be hidden from view. Entries need not be professionally photographed, or even photographed using an expensive camera and lighting equipment. A decent cell phone camera will do! We will publish some tips and hints right here on the website to help you take good quality photos. But the big question is: "Are you game?" dscV16 Virtual Venue Model Car Championship http://www.dscv16.com/home.html
