A quick reminder to all that you have only 11 days left to nominate your candidates for the 2022 Whiffies!

This thread will be closed on the 1st of January.

I've posted this second pic simply to show just how small this thing is

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Question: I finished (Sort of) my hybrid Iowa/Burke future battleship model which is here.
https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=48217.0
The model is 99.99999999% done. Even though I don't have the railgun turrets that I had wanted for the model, the ship does look good enough with the older 16" gun turrets on it. The ship could look good with either type of main gun turrets on it.
So.......could it possibly be entered for a 2022 Whiffie, or should I wait until 2023? If 2022 isn't allowed, then no problem. I'll just wait I guess. :(

Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

Seadude,

Just two thoughts to your post:

  • Usually builds are nominated when they are finished. Whether yours is finished or not is up to you. The 2022 whiffies are open for all models finished in 2021, models finished in 2022 go into the 2023 whiffies.
  • It is normally "not done" to nominate your own builds. You wait until someone else will do it. (Or bribe them to do so with copious quantities of alcoholic beverage...).

So I would advise you to first decide whether the model is finished or not and if yes, then announce it as being finished in the build thread. And then wait, pray and hope for someone to nominate it..... Whether you do that this year and hope it gets into the 2022 whiffies or next year is completely up to you.

Great model by the way!  ;)

Tom, consider it nominated by me. :thumbsup:

If it gets modified next year, so be it, but as a 2010's/2020's updated Iowa-class she's done & looks awesome. :mellow: :mellow:

Well deserved, also because we do not have many anime-based entries.  ;D
