In answer to Hythshade's question about the scene era and model "pieces"... The intent was to create an airship that would have fit into the era, or close to the era, of the film in question. However strictly or loosely you want to interpret that is up to you. As to model pieces, again the intent was that you come up with something new as oppossed to using someone else's pre-built model of a Wright brothers plane. I don't think the "rules" should be too strict. They should rely more on the artist's integrity. (Probably too strong a word but you get the idea) Starting with a Wright brother's plane model and simply adding a flag or bigger tires is probably a different thing then putting pieces together but I don't think there is any need to DQ anyone who chooses otherwise. In my opnion it is fine if you use parts of other models and assemble them in a new way so long as you have fun doing it. After all it's not a pure modeling contest is it? :)
