Contests

UPDATE: Given the minimal response, I’m extending through the weekend!

It’s been a while, but I’m back with another Monday Giveaway! This time I’m giving away a Tamiya BMW R75 German Motorcycle with Side Car.

Here’s the rules for this time around:

• Share your favorite tip/trick related to scale modeling
• Points for the quality of the tip (depth, detail, etc.) and uniqueness of the tip
• You have to post in the comments of this post by Wednesday midnight CST. I’ll pick a winner shortly after that and send out the kit.
• Be sure to leave your email address so can contact you if you win!

Good luck!

UPDATE: Since there wasn’t much response this week, given my lack of promotion due to work travel, I’m extending through this coming week!

Well, the first Monday Giveaway was a great success. So let’s do it again!

I recently moved my hobby room to another room in the house and in doing so, discovered a few duplicate items. So I’m bundling for a “package” giveaway this time around. Below is what you stand to win. It’s a grab bag of fun. Don’t tell me you don’t want to turn the Ford truck into a rusted out hulk!

•  Tiger I In Action (Squadron Signal) book
• Trumpeter 1/72 British “Wyvern” S.4
• 1/72 Aber German Tank Barrel for Ferdinand & Elefant (#72 L-05)
• Monogram 1/24 Ford F-350 “Duallie” Pickup

Like last time, you have to do some work for the prize. To enter, leave a comment below telling me the following:

• How many projects you have currently in-progress
• Describe in detail your favorite one of these in-progress projects

I’ll be drawing a random winner from the qualifying entries on Friday. Get on it!

Drum roll please……

The winner of the Tank Art 3 book is Aaron !  Aaron will be getting his book in the mail shortly. Thanks again to Rinaldi Studio Press for their kind support!

And don’t forget to watch the blog. I’ll be running another Monday Giveaway soon… maybe as soon as … Monday!

(Methodology: Counted the number of submissions, used Random.org to randomly select a number between 1 and 13, then counted down the number of comments from the top.)

UPDATE: I love the response! I’m extending through Friday. I’ll pick a winner then!

UPDATE 2: A winner has been selected!

Due to a twist of shipping snafu, I find myself in possession of an extra copy of Tank Art 3, the new book from Rinaldi Studios. Rather than sending it back, Rinaldi Studios offered to let me keep it and put it to good use. I’ve not yet cracked my own copy open yet, but if it’s as good as the first two volumes, I’m in for a treat.

Or should I say, we are in for a treat. Me, and maybe you, fine reader. That’s right, I’m giving away my extra copy to one lucky reader. Entering the contest is easy:

• Enter a comment below (be sure to leave me your name and email address or else I can’t get in contact with you!)
• Tell me a story about your time in the hobby. Any subject, any length. Just tell me a good one.

Out of the entries, I’ll pick a random entry.

And if this goes well, I’ll turn this into a regular thing! So let’s get this moving. Tell me a story about this great hobby of ours!
