How to get new BKB evaluation
MRechlicz replied to TheMongoose's topic in About the IPMS/USA National Convention
As a general guideline, kit parts that are necessary to complete and support the overall structure of the completed model are allowed. However, other kit parts that provide enhanced surface-detailing to a completed model will not be allowed for a BKB entry. What exactly does the above statement mean? It is copied from the BKB rules. Again thanks for all the responses as I just want to make sure of what the BKB rules allow and not allow. Mike -

So only plastic that came in the box can be used, got it. Thank you for your response. Mike -
How to get new BKB evaluation

I have an armor question for the BKB category. I am building a German halftrack and the only pe is mud flaps and the pieces where you put your license plates. Now the license plate holders are flat and you would never know that they are pe once the decals are on them. The mud flaps add no additional detail to the kit. So would this qualify for BKB or not? Thank you for your input. Mike -
Actually my anti-tank gun will be a standalone and not being towed.

I am building a 1/35 anti gun and it is a BKB build. What category would I enter it in. Mike

If no one bids for 2024, who gets the convention? -

Any word on who might be bidding for 2024 convention? -
Ok, I have read the rules and would like to clarify one small item. The kit I have selected has a small piece of screening for two small vents. If I read the rules correct, that would be allowed. There is no pe or other material other than plastic in the box. Thank you for your help. Mike
-
Yes.

I have already finished one of my builds for the OOB category before the new rules came out. The kit has pe in it but I did not use it. I built it under last years rules. So now what category does it go in? I agree with Barry on this change for this show is ill advised! Mike
-
So, if the box says included BUT I do not use the parts I cannot enter it in the BKB category! I personally do not use pe when I do not have to. That is why I enter the BKB categories. Mike
-
I have a question concerning the new rules. What if you do not use the pe, metal barrel or anything other non plastic parts provided in the kit. Can you still enter it in the OOB category? Thank you, Mike
