THIS CHALLENGE IS NOW CLOSED.

CALLING ALL SIMPLEPLANES BUILDERS!!

We are under attack!! There are hundreds of new airplanes uploaded to the site every day, and we need some defenses to help counter the attack!! I want to see your best SPAAG to help bring those birds down!!

What is an SPAAG? A Self Propelled Anti Aircraft Gun of course!!

*REQUIREMENTS*

-Build must be a mobile AA Platform
-Must have a minimum of 150 Parts
-Cannot exceed 1000 Parts
-Must be a new build, Existing builds are not allowed
-Must be a successor to this post, unless you have a really good excuse
-If a Replica, must have appropriate weapons (i.e. no missiles on a WW2 era truck)
-If missiles are used, max allowable is 12
-If guns are used, max allowable is 4
-Must have realistic performance
-Must use all three pictures in post
-Must have a good, accurate description

The contest will be broken up into two separate categories:

WWII Era and Cold War Era

-The WWII Era will also include WWI designs as well as post-war to 1950's style AA platforms.
-The Cold War Era designs will cover from the 60's through the modern era of SPAA technology.
-If building a WWII Era entry, No missiles will be allowed as they aren't necessarily historically accurate.

*JUDGING*

Your entry will be judged on the following criteria:

Design (20 Points)
How neat is your design? Have you spent time planning your build? Do parts appear to be where they are supposed to be? If Replica, have you matched size and scale for the real life comparison? Have you included finer details like doors/liveries/windows/armor/etc.?

Performance (20 Points)
How well does you vehicle perform? Can it traverse rough terrain? Does it have realistic speed and turning capabilities? Do the weapons systems handle easily? Are all weapons funtional and capable of tracking a target? Is it a stable platform while the weapons are being used?

Presentation (10 Points)
How much detail have you included in your description? If a replica build, have you included a history of your vehicle? Have you explain the weapons specs featured in your build and their capabilities? Have you thoroughly explained the vehicles controls? Have you included all three screen shots?

Your SPAA Vehicle will be scored out of 50 Points

Advice
Spend some quality time researching your build idea. There are alot of documents with plenty of detail about different SPAA platforms. Be adventurous and do your best!! I hope that all participants can use this as an opportunity to try new ideas and incorporate them into an awesome project. If you need some ideas on some SPAA platforms, Check [This] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofanti-aircraft_guns) out. The bottom of the page has a list of a ton of different SPAA vehicles from all Eras and Countries.

Thank you all for stopping by, and I can't wait to see your builds!!
