                This is exactly why the change was made. it's not OOB anymore and people have to remember that.

                An Eduard weekend edition kit could be OOB provided you don't add any aftermarket. How is a profi pack kit with the aftermarket included in the kit the same as the weekend kit? It's not. The intent of OOB when the rule was created was to build the kit as they came out in that era because of the falsehood prevailed that you had to add extras to win. By adding the extras in the box is semantics as it doesn't follow the spirit of the creation of the OOB rule. So that's why there is a name change and an attempt to get back to where the original meaning was. Times have changed, kits have changed. So if you can't add Eduard PE to a Eduard Weekend kit for an OOB build but you can add the very same Eduard PE to the same kit just because it came in the box then what's the point? Hence the thrust to get back to the basic attempt. Building basic kits that didn't come with all the bells and whistles.

               Personally I would like to see OOB and now BKB go away since I do not see any reason for it since the logic behind it's very creation was a fallacy. For all those who want to build that way that's fine, enter in the regular categories, you'll do just fine. You don't need extras to win, what you do need is overall execution of construction and finish of your project.

    I'd like to say superb idea opening up the forum...mostly because I could never get in, even with a valid national #, LOL!

     

    I've been in IPMS since 1987, when I discovered that me and Jarrod Cunningham weren't in fact the only 2 guys on earth who built models!

     

    Longtime IPMS Houston member, run some shows, 7 or 8 time NATS judge, now I mostly hawk decals at shows, but I fully intend to get back to judging in Phoenix.

     

    Good to be in finally!
