OK, I understand that we are all laughing at these silly predictions, and they are silly.
However,perhaps because I'm a Preacher, there will come a time when the world,as we know it will end.
But " no man knows the day or the hour."
If it is smaller in size than the real one, 1/24, 1/25 or even 1/32 it is a model.
If it won,t start, you can,t get in it, you can,t drive it, then it is a model.
Jake I wish I could answer your questions but I just build models and never messed around with diorama's.
I just wanted to extend to you a hearty welcome to this Forum.
I can agree with Mark Taylor statement completely I have found that if I don't pre-order at the localHobby Shop I simply miss out on that particular model.

Just my suggestions.
Upload pictures to a Model fo the Month thread on the forum.
1 picture per entry. ( better make it a good one)
No more than three entries per contestant.
Voting done by poll
His model is the model of the month. ( that's enough of a prize isn't it)
Like I said these are just my thoughts.
I will give you credit as you seem to have thought this through very well. You are to be commended for that as so many people come up with ideas and never think them through. I, as said before, like the idea and it is one I would support. I still fear flame wars getting started due to the personalities of some members, but with proper enforcement of the rules this should be able to be overcome.
I'm all for it, lets do this.
