Rate Your Model Honestly
For Pre-Show Judgement

The purpose of rating your own completed model is to honestly assess your capabilities for good model building and give you a set of guidelines to employ when and if you are asked to judge the work of others in a contest or show.

This will also give you the capability of making an assessment of your own modeling efforts before entering into a show or contest.

The key questions you should answer are:

What did the modeler try to do? How well did the modeler do it?

You will be making judgments about difficulty and quality in all phases of your analysis.

Construction:How difficult or complex Simple, Somewhat complex, moderately complex complicated.

Detail: How much detail has the modeler added. How complex is it.

Conformity How well did the modeler reproduce the prototype’s appearance.

Finish How complex and accurate is the finish Is quality of the work evident

Scratch Building How much did the modeler build from scratch How difficult.
