  1. Dioramas:
    Must depict a scene, which tells a story of an activity, or a place in time. Using models, figures, what ever it takes to display this in diorama form.

  2. Kit bashing:
    Cannot be completely assembled from a commercially purchased kit. Finished entry must have visible signs of adding or subtracting from the original kit form.

  3. Scratch Built:
    All entries must be built by hand with very little coming from a commercially purchased kit or model. This category requires 60% of scratch building.

  4. Structures:
    Any structure from a kit, scratched built, or kit bashed.

  5. Whimsical:
    Entries must be fun. Nothing that suggests other then the title. Not real and may be an exaggeration.

  6. Weathering:
    Entries must not look new out of box. They must display any weathering technique that makes the entry look natural, used, abused, maybe to the point that it should be scrapped.
