PSX 2004 SEATTLE MODEL CONTEST

This is the first comprehen-sive photo coverage of a model contest done for mod-els entered at a national con-vention. In these 52 pages & 260 photos, you will find nearly all of the judged en-tries in the various catego-ries that are contained within the national model contest. The intent here is not to de-scribe how each model was built but just to show the models themselves and give the reader an idea of the quality of the finished prod-uct through a photo study of each model entered. Each model is listed by En-trant’s Name, Town & State, Description of the Model, Category Scores, & Total Score. The color of the box containing the text indicates the placing of the model.

One or more photos of the model appear under the text information box to show each model to its best advan-tage. In many cases more than one photo is available and as many photos are used as is needed to show off a particular model’s detailing. A sample of the listing for-mat is shown in the box at the bottom of the page. As I say, this is a first time effort as this is the first time we have had available a large number of fairly good quality photos of the models entered in a national contest to-gether with the listings of the scores obtained by each model, the identity of the m o d e l e r a n d c r o s s -referenced by the entry num-ber of each model. This was a huge amount of work but was done to better show the general public & the modeling public the scoring of each of the judged models in this model con-

test. It is also a way to show that more than just a small handful of models are en-tered in a contest as, in the past, only the winners of the contest have been displayed whereas there have always been many more entries.
