Mini-comp idea: Planes of Fame

I've been doing a little bit of thinking about this and have come down to this simple idea:
A judge will choose an aircraft that was/is rather well known, and the competitors, being anyone who wishes to compete, try their best to recreate what, in their minds, made that plane famous, in the form of a screenshot. If the plane is, in your eyes, not famous enough, then what would you do to make it famous?
It's a simple idea, but it could probably be built up into something cool. 8-)

Interesting...It would however be primarily for warbirds I think...

I don't think warbirds get all the fame in this one. There are props, and commercial jets that are quite famous too

ex. the Pan Am 747 Clipper.

Boeing 367-80?
Airbus A380?
DH-106 Comet?
This one could be used for pretty much any plane, Ash.

And a new idea: if the plane is not famous enough for you, MAKE it famous.

This is a good idea, we'll have to wait to see what a mod says about it!

I think it's a great idea. Let's wait a couple of weeks though, as we have a ton of competitions going already. We've already put Weekend Competition and Ultimate Battles on the back burners until Screenart Wars is over. I think it'd be a great topic for the first Weekend Comp when Wars is over. Agree? :)

Agree. Once all this other stuff dies down, then we can think about it for a full-time comp. So who'll inaugurate this weekend comp?
