The fellow is not a member of Armorama but visits quite regularly and saw this post by you. He asked me if I might inquire how the BuffCon Out of Box category works? Specifically, does one enter a model in an appropriate category and then also check the Out of Box section of the entry form. Will the model then be judged in both categories? Any other particulars on this subject would be appreciated.

Out Of Box entries (including “Hi-Tech’ kits) are to be constructed from the contents of the kit per the kit instructions, with the following exceptions: you MAY fill seams; sand of rivets and panel lines; restore lost surface detail; drill out guns, exhausts or other appropriate openings; thin edges; add rigging, antennas and simple tape or decals seat belts; and choose alternate color schemes and decals. Weathering is permitted. You MAY NOT make or replace any part; add details; or separate such as doors, canopies, surfaces or hatches; except as listed above. THE KIT INSTRUCTIONS SHEET MUST BE DISPLAYED WITH YOUR ENTRY.
