RMweb Gold Stubby47 Posted May 31, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 31, 2011 Having a size constraint that not even the missus can moan about really focuses the mind. It's not always the size, it's the quantity SWMBO can object to... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SXHALL Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 She can moan when you're building it at the bottom of the bed It's not always the size, it's the quantity SWMBO can object to... Or the price!!! If it was a shoebox challenge then I could at least twenty as there are numerous boxes at the end of the bed with who knows what cost in them Steven 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Country Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Is it OK to build something within the specified dimensions but on a larger board? I've got a larger board available and I'd like to add off-stage storage after the challenge is finished, so I'd rather not chop bits off if I can avoid it.

Quite a bit earlier in the thread I asked the same question. Unfortunately, no, you have to be able to show just the 20x11x11 part without anything else... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 BP; it would certainly be helpful as a reference point from the online voting 'forms' so that voters can get a good overview of the entry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam '43003' Tanner Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Does it have to have some form of motive power to display on it.? I'm thinking of something a little bit different for a spare micro-micro 'board' I have and obviously, trying to fit some sort of motive power on a 'board' with 180mm x 74mm dimensions will be tough.

firefly9 Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 are we supposed to keep people up to date with picture submissions etc? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 are we supposed to keep people up to date with picture submissions etc? If you can - it really help us to see progress and sometimes we can offer suggestions or help with problems, if they crop up. It might also help when it comes to judging as we can see the progression made as well as the final outcome. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

richard_t Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Chances are that I'm in - something very different for me, but still giving me an opportunity to try out ideas for Windmill Street. Shame my router broke whilst making the baseboard last weekend! But at least it's still under warranty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZ Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I've decided to take the plunge and join in. I have a few ideas in my mind at the moment. Talwrn Bach Halt (now Llanbedr) would nicely fit and one I have always fancied doing a diorama of. Cwm Prysor is another possibility. My main reason for joining is to use new materials and techniques. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Vale Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm tempted, it might kick me out of my current modelling rut, especially as there'll be some light spring evenings (I live in backwards-season-land) towards the end of the challenge period. But what to do? The most sensible thing would be to build a little something towards some of my "stock but no layout" interests. Which would suggest On30 (Dolly Varden?) in British Columbia, the Enoshima Dentetsu in Japanese N gauge, or something Dutch. That said, I did see a great black and white slide of a coal loading bin at a New Zealand hydraulic mine, which is pretty interesting and compact as well. OK. back to the armchair for a little while to think about all this. Will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Simon Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hi, Just seeking clarification about the dimensions, again Is the thickness of Back / Side Scene boards included in the 20" x 11", or is it just the phyiscal area of scenery that has to fall in the dimensions? Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Y Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 It must all be within the 20" x 11" including base, back or side boards and even a top. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't that be 20" x 11" x 11" ? (looks for ducking Smiley with hard hat) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
