Screenshot Contest [Metaladon's Models Contest #1]
This is the first official Contest that I will be doing, so here goes.

The Contest:

Take and upload screenshots that invole ANY Rolling Stock from this model pack.

Judging will be done by Me, with the follwing guidelines:

Realisim: How well detailed are the cars? Are the numbers accurate? Protypical?
Clarity: Is the scene cluttered? Is there a locomotive blocking everything?
Other: Pictures that particularly represent a prototype or builder's photo, or have editing effects like motion blur or aged camera style (make sure the car is old!!!) will be viewed more favorably.

Some clarification here:
NOT looking for functionality. At all. These are screenshots, after all!
Definetly looking for: Background scenery, interesting shots, uniqueness.
Try as hard as you can to avoid innaccurate details, it's better to just go with less detail if it's not right!

Your cars and scenes DO NOT have to be real! Just make sure they COULD be real...

Upload your images to THIS THREAD (you are free to edit until deadline) to enter.

Entry deadline is Nov. 29th, 2017. Topic will be locked when entry deadline has come.
5 winning pictures will be chosen after the deadline based on the above criteria.


Rewards:

Image featured on the main page of this model pack, with your credit.
You might even replace / supplement a currently used Prototype photo!

Winners will also get ANY 3 DUPES of rolling stock built and detailed by Me, for free.
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1215773756
There's more than just this, I'm allways adding to the list.

Other rules:
You may only win up to 2 picture slots. 2X winners DO recive 6 dupes.
Dupes gained by this contest are still to be treated as PRIVATE. If you are found releasing one of these dupes, your winning entry will be taken down from the addon and deleted.
Up to 3 people collaborating on every picture is allowed. Collaborators all recive the same dupes.

But most importantly, have fun!

The tanker car and others aare still WiP but may be featured here in this post the future, stay tuned.

Also Met I may do a review on your addon soon since it is a really nice one. I will let you know when I have it online.


You have, unfortunatley... missed the point.

The point of this contest is not dupes, but quality SCREENSHOTS of the rolling stock. These are just low-res images of them slightly detailed in a shed.

I don't need to know if they use E2 couplers, or if they have random numbers, or anything else.

All that matters is how the SCREENSHOT looks, and nothing more.

Bottom line: AESTHETICS. Everywhere. Make a scene!

PS: No review please. I'd be happy if you mentioned it, but a model pack is self-explanatory, and model quality is in the eye of the beholder.

I have a list if gripes here:

The 2 bay is Plate B.
The BNSF car is NOT an ACF Centerflow.
It's an ARI 5200 CU Thru-Sill 3-Bay Hopper,
BNSF does not own any of them to my knowledge.

BNSF doesn't even own a car with the number 418563!!!!
The closest car I could find was 418060, which is a Thrall-built hopper, not ARI.
