Message from the organizer:

Participants are strongly encouraged to read about the AWARDS JUDGING METHOD AND OBJECTIVE.

Hope participants can put in efforts in presentation which take up 10% of the judging.

This is an area most people neglect during competition.

Example,

Model without base will score a straight ZERO for this area.

One with a nicely stain wooden base with title plate will be given at least 4-8 points depending on the level of craftsmanship.

Full 10points can be achieve with a simple groundwork that help enhance the look for the model.

http://mcon.themworkshop.com/mcon08-judging.php

This is a critical 10% that is not difficult to score. Don’t waste it.

Happy Modeling
