 Subject:  Re: What is "Straight from the box"?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 29, 2006
 From:  Eric Scurlock 
I have to agree with the IMPS Definition of OOTB or as worded in this thread straight from the box. If it's not in the box or in the instructions (cuch as making antenas from sprue) it isn't OOTB.

I'd love to see an OOTB contest. Lately I've been getting into aftermarket, but I'd love to sit down and build a quick OOTB kit. Such a contest should probably not allow certain multimedia kits such as the latest DML super kits. It kinda defeats the point of it. An OOTB contest should be geared toward what you can make of a plastic model IMHO.
On the other hand kits with PE bare basics such as headlight guards and grills should be allowed.
