Hey guys:

Below are sample pictures of the Jerseyfest 2012 model contest trophies for our supplemental awards. All the contest details are posted here: http://jerseyfestfair.com/?page_id=68, but here are some highlights...

Trophies

The contest entries will be judged by professional painters and magazine writers: Saul Alvarez, Rick Cantu, Steve Parke, and Mike Wallace.

It is acceptable for attendees to submit their buildup kit(s) for the exhibit and request that they NOT be included in the contest. Contest entries may include any custom painted model kit that celebrates movies, TV, comic books, video games, or fiction in general. This includes figures, busts, vehicles, dioramas, and “one of a kind” pieces. It includes Horror, Superheros/Villains, Sc-Fi, Mecha, Fantasy, Anime, Gundam, etc.

Gold, Silver and Bronze awards will be given for selected entries as decided by the judges (i.e., “open judging system”). There are no categories for these awards and no competing between modelers. However, there will be categories for kids (12 and under) and teenagers.

In addition, there will be “Supplemental Awards” where contestants will compete for trophies and can win awesome kits as prizes.

Nice trophy's, are they custom sculpts or made from commercial pieces? Love to snag a few of them!

Thanks. The figures/busts are original sculpts that were created in the garage kit hobby.

All very cool. I would dearly love to paint those trophies. Speaking as someone who cut his modelling teeth on Aurora horror kits in the early 70s I can really appreciate this.

Some of them appear to be repainted resin kits released by various companies such as Sideshows. If I am correct, then I would argue that it is cool to get these awards all the same, but the items themselves are not COOL the way one would compliment an art piece for it's intrinsic value. Praise those who made them in the first place maybe?
