Total Model: Competitions MAFVA Competition (closed)
By Total ModelMAFVA The Miniature Armoured Fighting Vehicle Association was formed in 1965 to promote interest in AFVs and their associated equipment. The majority of members make and/or collect models, although there are many who only collect information on military subjects. Others work on or even collect and run full size vehicles. The interests within the Association encompass the First World War to the present day, although the greatest emphasis is centered around the Second World War. Local branches are continually forming both in the UK and overseas and are encouraged to hold meetings, displays and competitions to enable members to get more out of their hobby by meeting others with similar interests and to share information and expertise.  MAFVA aim to provide their members with a bi-monthly magazine called the Tankette. It is a fully-illustrated litho-printed format and contains articles, photographs and drawings of tanks, self-propelled guns, half- tracks, armoured cars, trucks, artillery, uniforms, unit organisations, vehicles colour schemes and markings, kit conversions, histories, museums, scratchbuilding and modelling tips, as well as kit and book reviews. Each issue also contains several original multi-view scale plans. The Competition This month you have a chance to win a full year's membership to MAFVA - complete with 6 issues of the Tankette magazine. The lucky winner will also receive an excellent 1:35th scale model of the AS-90 SPG made by Hobby Craft (the plastic components are actually made by Trumpeter Models). In keeping with ethos of the Association, AFVs are at the heart of the competition. In order to win it, you will have to demonstrate you AFV modelling skills in the Total Model User Gallery. A special category has been established - called the MAFVA Competition - into which you are invited to upload images of your models. At the end of the competition, MAFVA top brass in the guise of President, Garry Williams, and Branch Co-Ordinator, Paul Middleton, will be asked to judge which entry they consider to be the best on show. It's that simple!  Before heading for your digital camera please read and observe the following: The Rules:
