oh yes sir !! If it doesnt have it well it just doesnt have it. You should note that in your description when you post. Curbside used to be my building style ( no motor, no interior )look forward to seeing it. I should point out that in the beginning all voters were suppose to use the vote sheet ( which is provided on the rules page ) and the bracket race was suppose to be a beauty contest more then a drag race and by using the voting sheet you would have scored different categories without interior yours would have gotten a 0 in that category and would have put you at a disadvantage , but i really dont think anyone uses the sheets or the system. they simply vote for what they like ( which is fine )We just ask that everyone vote for the best model and not just because it was built by a friend.

Well..., I use the sheets. Although I do take some things into consideration, such as what knarf was asking, like if it doesn't have an interior to even have pics of. If it would have an interior and no pics of it I would be more critical because there are no pics to judge it.
On the bracket races I use the score sheet and if there is a tie, I will then study the cars themselves as to equipment, etc., and try to determine which one may win an actual race if they were real.

Right, I agree with both of you ( Skip and AK ). The sheet was from an old show that I judged years back. I know it by heart so when I judge a car on our site I just grab a sheet of scratch paper and write down 4,3,4,2,1 what ever the scores are then total. If I can tell it was built as a curb side i am not as critical, but if it is going against a car that has an excellent interior I have to give the points to the car with the interior (something like 3 vs 5 ). If I run into a tie in MOTM I start looking at how realistic is it and by that I mean , could it function as a real car. For bracket race ties I look at which do I personally think would win if real drag cars and for that I rely on years of drag racing. I know that a pro street car is made to look like a pro stock drag car but in now way runs as fast and a car with high HP and a blower would fry a set of 8 inch cheater slicks. So yea i use the sheet but rely on my knowledge

i cannot lie...i do not use the list. i vote for what pleases my eye the most:)

That's the best way to handle it. I know from attending model shows and knowing a lot of modelers over the years that some folks won't even walk over to the table and look at the models that aren't of a subject they like. Which is pretty sad because they miss out on so much! Even when I exclusively built and drove Mopars (models and 1:1 cars) I had friends that drove other makes of cars and trucks and built other types of models too. We all enjoyed each others work and learned from one another. AK

I know what you are saying AK. Some people can be so biased to one particular thing that they can't look at anything else and at least note the redeeming qualities of other subjects, qualities which could be taken and applied to what their main interest is.

As far as judging, even when you apply a scientific approach to it, personal biases can still creep in. It's just human nature. I just try to be aware of my human nature and over rule it as much as I can. It can be difficult sometimes.
