Yes, an award is an encouragement to me to put extra effort into a model. But - at O/S West there is a "favorite Model" popular vote rather than judging. That works just as well for me. It would be a disincentive for me if I could bring a not-quite-done model, so I'd prefer they needed to be completely finished.
One idea I haven't seen is a scoring system that would be filled out by anybody who wanted to fill one out. Rather than just "I like that one best," it could be a simple scoring in categories, as the judges do now, but fewer categories, simpler scoring in each, and done by anyone who wants to take the time. -Michael Eldridge --- In [email protected], "Bill Lane" <bill@...> wrote: > > While this is not going to get anything changed here because of my one > email, I have been nudging the PRR T&HS to possibly completely eliminate the > award giving contest aspect of the model room in favor of an RPM environment > of "bring and show what ya got - done or not"...
