Competitions

Last year’s model competition was a roaring success, and we saw a wide variety of your creations| So this year we would like you to do the same, build a model of something steam related that you’d see on the rally field, this could be an engine, a living van, a threshing machine, a trailer, or anything else you can think of. You can make your model out of anything you can find, but here ar some suggestions…

Lego – Meccano – Metal – Card – Paper – Wood – Plastic – Recyclables – 3D Printed

You might want to choose a real thing to copy or you could come up with your own ideas – wherever your imagination takes you! The judges will be looking for attnetion to detail and creativity.

You can enter by bringing your model to display at Bedford, or by sending in photos. If entering with phots, please send us up to 10 photos of your model, making sure to include at least 3 photos of the finsihed model. The judges will be intersted to see photos of the model during the build to see how you made it. If you are able to include a few words to describe the build, that would be apprecaited too.

The winners will then be announced on the SAC facebook page and website, and also in Raising Steam.

Prizes will be awarded for 1st 2nd and 3rd place.

You can send up to 10 photos, please make sure there are at least three of the finished model, and include photos showing the different stages of the build (so we can see how you’ve built it!) We will put a selection of your photos on display at Bedford, alongside the usual model competition entries. (All your photos will be shown to the judges).
