1. All models must be the handiwork of the entrant only.

2. The model must be predominately constructed of plastic or resin (except in the Figures class where they may be white metal kits).

2a. Due to the preponderance on the market of kit parts and accessories produced in other mediums (i.e. white metal, die cast, resin and photo-etched), entries may contain such items.

2b. Bases will be allowed in all categories and will not be considered in the judging except dioramas. A base may simulate the natural environment on which the model may be found. This is to show the subject in context, for example, uneven ground to show vehicle suspension deflected, runway markings, etc.  A small amount of natural surroundings is also allowed but this may not deflect from being able to see all sides of the model.  Aircraft requiring beaching gear or trolleys may be so equipped.  Ships may be displayed on water but dry-docks are not allowed.

2c. A diorama shall be defined as one or more items (not necessarily from the same class) on a scenic base, with or without figures, conveying a specific theme or real-life situation. If an entry contains major elements from more than one class (except for vehicles shown with their normal load) it will be considered as a diorama.

2d. Due to the preponderance of figures and busts on the market of white metal kits over plastic in these particular areas of the hobby, white metal kits shall be allowed in the Figures class.

3. No model that has received an award can be re-entered in the competition   in future years.

4. Any Entrant shall have the right to bring to the attention of the Competition Secretary any infringement of the Competition Rules, providing such notice is given prior to the commencement of Judging. However, on any point of contention, the Competition Secretary's ruling shall be final.

5. The Junior Class is open to anyone who is under the age of 16 on the day of the Competition.

6. Models must be registered and placed on the competition tables by 12:00. Models should not be removed from the competition tables prior to prize giving without the prior approval of the Competition Secretary. Any model removed from the tables without prior agreement will be subject to disqualification.

7. The Competition Secretary reserves the right to remove any entry which may cause dispute or offence.

8. Whilst every reasonable precaution is taken, exhibition and competition models are placed solely at the owner’s own risk.  The Competition Area is supervised to minimise any risk to entries.

9. It is the responsibility of competition entrants to ensure that their model/s is/are entered into the correct category.  Cost is £0.50p per model entered, registration for the competition is to be made on the day. There will be a specific registration desk at the competition area, competition will be open all day with judging from 12noon to 2pm on the day. Awarding of prizes and trophies will be from 4pm on the day. Decisions of the Competition Secretaries and Judges on validity of entries are final. Judge’s decisions regarding the winning entries are final.

10. Please note that this competition will be judged on the standard of build/technique used and as such there will awards for Gold Standard/Silver Standard/Bronze Standard. A Best in Show Trophy for the best Model selected from the Gold Standard from each class will be awarded.
