Juniors Age 16 and Under, All Scales

Any model in any scale built by someone who is 16 years of age or younger.

Novice Modeler, All Scales

If you're an adult modeler who either just started building models, or built them when you were young and only recently started modeling again, this is your category. Note that the Head Judge reserves the option to move your model to another category if the skill and quality of your build is beyond that of a novice... consider it a compliment!

Rigging, when not provided in the kit, may be added if it is called out in the instructions. It is tradition to include the instructions from the kit, if you can, but it is not required.
