November 2022 is Build a Model Month (BAMM). As part of the celebration,
FineScale Modeler will host the BAMM Online Model Show and Contest. Scale modelers from around the world can enter their models in seven categories: Aircraft/Real Space, Armor/Military Vehicles, Automobiles/Motorcycles, Figures/Gundam/Mechs, Ships, Sci-fi/Fantasy, and Juniors (15 and younger). The winners from each category will vie for a $500 cash prize, a cover spot on a future issue of
FineScale Modeler magazine, and a story in that issue about their model.
Editors Tim Kidwell and Aaron Skinner will serve as judges for all categories, and they will be joined by seven other judges, one for each category. We’re honored to announce the 2022 BAMM Online Model Contest category judge lineup:
Spencer Pollard, full-time modelmaker and author (Aircraft/Real Space)
Rick Lawler, professional scale modeler and author (Armor/Military Vehicles)
Jim Kampmann, president of the RPM Model Club and award-winning car modeler (Automobiles/Motorcycles)
Annya Shetinina, award-winning figure modeler (Figures/Gundam/Mechs)
George Seletas, WonderFest contest chief (Sci-fi/Fantasy)
Toni Levine, director of The Nautical Research Guild and ship modeler (Ships)
