We love the new venue.<br />
There were issues with parking, going forward we will address them and come up with alternate parking spots that we can publicize beforehand.<br />
We will look at signs to make it easier to find the venue, and the actual drill hall where the contest is held.<br />
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Send them to Bill at hobcen@rogers.com<br />
<br />
Big THANKS to:<br />
The Modelers who entered,<br />
The Folks that came out to see the show, <br />
The Vendors for making our Flea Market interesting,<br />
The Sponsors for your support,<br />
The Ottawa Model Car Group for the work that all the members contributed to make it a success.<br />
<br />
There is a youtube posted <a href="https://youtu.be/wjAkMmwbBg4" target="_blank">HERE</a> to give everyone an idea of what it was like. <br />
<br />
Please check back, as soon as we can confirm a date for the 2020 event we will start promoting it.<br />

<br />
* - A class NOT listed on our flyer but added to the show:<br />
<br />
Space/Sci-Fi (Star Trek, Star Wars, Space 1999, Apollo and Real Spacecraft + others) 3 awards<br />
<br />
* - Photos at this years show<br />
<br />
We will have a pro photographer and photo booth on site. We would like to get as many entries pictured as possible for use in our awards ceremony, our web site and submission to model magazines and sites.<br />
<br />
We require that you present your entry form at the time of the photo session.<br />
"No entry number (from your form) No picture"Hobby Centrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10106770314299136947noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513130170221590916.post-76354691173244648452019-09-20T09:16:00.001-07:002019-10-22T12:50:44.759-07:00Classes are UpdatedWe finally got around to updating the classes we have for the 2019 Event.<br />
We added a number of new ones, this will not affect the overall contest but will refine some of the classes you can enter and it generated more awards.<br />
<br />
These are posted in the <a href="http://ottawa-scale-auto-contest.blogspot.com/p/rules.html" target="_blank">RULES</a> page.<br />
<br />
There is 1 theme this year <b>The Summer of '69</b><br />
Any type of vehicle, 1969 Model Year.<br />
<br />
There is 1 judged model category for anyone that wants their model competing against others based on fit and finish. There are 3 awards in this category and there is no break down into sub categories. All will compete together and be judged on the modeler's skill.<br />
<br />
<b>We are planning some special classes for the 2020 Event.</b><br />
<br />
1 idea is to register model(s) purchased at the 2019 event and entered into a class specially for those models only. They would have to be registered for intent to enter in 2020 event this at this year's contest.<br />
<br />
Class : Models Purchased at Last Year's Contest (3 Awards) <br />
<br />
Another idea is to have a Restoration Class. Models that were bought in bags, glue bombs, a model that has been assembled, partly assembled and/or painted and rebuilt and transformed into a contest worthy build. Again, they would have to be registered for intent to enter in 2020 event this at this year's contest.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for developments!<br />
<br />
