JayMesawitz Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 Im asking to clarify/confirm for a friend. Is baremetal foil allowed in OOTB ? To my thinking it is more like a decal and would be allowed but I can see it being taken the other direction being an aftermarket supply item. Thanks, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZRhino Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 A similar question came up at the Nationals concerning a car that had flocking on the seats. The answer from the current (previous?) head automotive judge was that it is still OOTB because flocking is a finish, like paint or decals. By extension, I would see Bare Metal Foil as a finish and would be allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Aldrich Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 That is not a lame question anymore! The 1st place winner for OOTB ships has smoke coming out of the stacks! Now either I REALLY misunderstand OOTB or kits are including a LOT more stuff in them nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisTennant Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 The definition clearly needs re-defining now that kits include everything but the kitchen sink! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob Posted August 15, 2012 Report Share Posted August 15, 2012 The way I understand that the reason OOTB was created most surely is NOT being adheared to these days. OOTB stands for OUT OF THE BOX !!! In my opinion - If a modeler has to ask if something's allowed - then it's probably not. Stick to what's in the box and make a nice model out of it. If you want to add anything else,(seatbelts,foil,flocking,antennas,etc) then enter a regular category. OOTB means OUT OF THE BOX. I think the way it is now - we should do away with OOTB categories only because of the way it's misused these days. I'm sure somebody's going to get their undies in a bunch over this but this only one modelers' opinion. Thanks for listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 If anyone wants to discuss OOTB, just go down to the Judging topic in the members area. There's several pages there! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
