I'd hate to be a judge though, some people will undoubtedly have better cameras, scenery, accessories... I'd personally like to chop up pics and arrange them as a comicbook using Photoshop, etc etc

I think each one should be judged on several categories, eg. best storyline, best presentation and so on.

Also, should we set a limit to length? 100 pictures / 10 pages?

better set that deadline to 2010 ;)

I think the comic strip idea could be the next comp. For a diorama I think say 4 pictures from different angles of the 1 scenario. If anyone would like to suggest restrictoins, or shall we say 'no holds barred'?

I don't want to impose restrictions, I'd arther judge by category - best mini, best epic etc... but that will depend on the number of contestants.

I have two ideas for a diorama. The first would be a shad mortar line all dug in the dirt. And the second would be an SAS boat patrol landing on a beach. All I need now is the time and a modelling book about dioramas. I've seen one that covers making realistic looking water etc.
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

check out wiki's description of the modern diorama for a few tips

Just picked up some new scenery / buildings. Do the figures in the diorama have to be original
or can customs star in it too?
