• Question for Board members who are or were contest judges
  • If it's a motorized turntable, most judging teams will request that you turn the motor off. Mirrors help the judges evaluate the underside of your model and are generally welcomed by judges. . *NM*
  • The turntable not so much, could even be a distraction. But the mirror (since most judges, myself especially had a self rule about picking up models) does help. *NM*
  • I always disliked turntables....mirrors definetely helped as I never liked picking them up either *NM*
  • I have a set of "turntables" but they are only flat dishes that sit on a set of round roller bearings. The model can be turned to see the back without handling it. No issues that way. *NM*
    • X2. You can buy small turntables used to store spices in your kitchen cupboards. *NM*
  • I would rather see the bottom of the model when it comes down to awards, we will handle the model unless you forbid it. very carefuly and with gloves.You would be amazed at what you find underneath.Bad workmanship and missing parts abound in the dark.when you compete...
    • That would be a good tie breaker *NM*
