Competition Overview
A feature of the WASMEx event is the WA Scale Modelling Championship. This is an opportunity for all modelers to show off their work and to perhaps even pick up an award. The hundreds of models on the tables make for a stunning display of modelling craftsmanship.
Models must be entered in one of a number of set categories and according to the competition rules. Each entry must be the sole work of the entrant (unless entered in Category 14 - Co-operative build) and are generally based upon a plastic kit set, although there are exceptions such as scratchbuilds or wooden kits. Before you bring along your models for entry you should make sure that you have read and understood the WASMEx Competition Categories and Rules and Conditions of Entry. Competition Rules and Conditions of Entry
Each model must be entered into a category depending on its subject (e.g. aircraft, tank, car), its scale (e.g. 1/72nd, 1/24th, 1/35th) and the extent of any modifications to the base kit. Scrutineers will be available on the day to assist you if there are any doubts as to the correct category for your entry.
