The Little World

A new era in scale modelling opens up…

For years we have been seen awards presented at scale model exhibitions. They could be for First, Second, and Third, or Gold, Silver, and Bronze, or any other combination of prizes. Sometimes they have had cash or goods attached to them as reward for the modellers.

Let’s think outside of the box for a moment. If there is a ” Best In Show ” that can be judged by officials and spectators, surely there must be a ” Worst In Show ” as well. Also a second-worst and a third-worst.There are degees of degradation as well as of praise.

The models so judged would be eligible for certificates and trophies just like the good ones, with the only practical difference being that instead of giving out hobby shop prizes, the committee would call round to the modeller’s home and seize kits and tools as punishment.

It might very well improve the standards of work for the following year.
