Departures 2.0: An Online Scale Model Contest


(Image source: Starship Modeler)
Quote
Starship Modeler is proud to announce our twenty-third online modeling contest. The theme for this one is "Departures". It's an Alternate History contest, and the sky's the limit.

The premise is that some event - trivial or pivitol - happened differently along the way to change history as we know it.



This looks like it could be a fun event for many of us here at BTS and many of the other modelling forums.

Where's the emoticon for "running in little circles yelling "woo hoo" and peeing yourself with happy abandon"?
