The SAG Is Pleased To Announce It's 1st Anniversary Contest:
"Soldiers In Action"
Toy's, doll's, battlebarbies, we have all sorts of terms for our figure's, but bottom line Is they are action figure's, for years static display modelers In 1/6th have been setting new standards In effect legitimizing our hobby to the traditional modeling circles that have In the past looked down upon 1/6th as toys. There have been leaps and bounds made In the quality and accuracy of our hobby, aftermarket parts and custom accessories have gone beyond our wildest dreams, these are great 1/6th days we are living.
Up untill now, most contests have been static display figure/vehicle/dio contests, In celebration of the first anniversary of the SAG we now present something new and different, something to show off the full versatility and flexability of our hobby. For the first time, at least to my knowledge, we present to you an action figure contest that focus's on the "Action"!!!
Huh??? What you say??? "Action" contest??? Yep thats right an "Action" contest, we are going to show off the versatility of our fig's through movement!!! How are we going to do this? Easy, the idea Is to create some sort of dio, be It indoors or outdoors, of a combat team In action, movement will be shown through a series of photos of some sort of crew served weapon In action. You will be using multiple figures that will be re-arranged through the series of pic's to show movement. An example would be of a Pak40 with crew loading and firing the weapon, an MG section, bazooka team, mortar crew etc.
Now there are some limitations as to what can or can not be used, vehicles are not going to be a part of this contest, that include trains, planes, AFV's, softskins, motorcycles, etc. But, can be used In the backround as part of the dio, eg. a US bazooka team blowing up a German AFV. Structures/bldgs are allowed as long as they don't get In the way of the action, and are part of the position/crew that you are portraying. There Is also a limit of 8 figures, which should be enough to crew up a large artillary piece.
