Does the kit have to be in parts? Can I submit a 3D printed statue that requires no assembly and just go straight to priming and painting?

Based on the recently finished campaign VIII, there should be no problem Peter. A shuttle or fig that is printed in one piece has been accepted before. I believe it is only when a kit comes in parts, and you have assembled them, that the rule applies.

@Trisaw, yes, no problem with one part models. But only one model pr. Campaign. I assume this is not the same one part model as for the Hot out of the Molds campaign. 
@SGTJKJ OK, thanks again, Jesper.
No, I will enter something different for “Hot out of the molds 2023” if I do enter that campaign. So far I’ve only entered the Sci-Fi IX Campaign, not both.

Excellent, @Trisaw. That is what I thought.
Looking forward to see what it is and follow your build

A little Sci-Fi “warmup!” 
[EDIT] More Sci-Fi warmup.
Note: Just for fun and not my entry.
Looking forward to the campaign!

I’m going to be out of circulation for a while, build wise, whilst I recover from my hip replacement op.
I will be following my fave builds and reads.
Do I still need to post my intended build on the 1st Feb?
Talk to you all soon.
Gavin
Hope the op goes ok 
and no you don’t need to post on Feb 01, you can do it on the day you actually want to start it once you’re ready and able

Hi Gavin,
You’ll be in good hands with Sci-Fi robots performing the procedure! 
And let me welcome you to the “Hip Club.” I’m not only a member, I’m the president.

So my plan for this campaign is to firstly finish up the Kazon Raider I was building for last year’s campaign.
Then make a start on the Moebius USS Kelvin from 2009’s Star Trek.
A really nice looking model in the box. Has a great display stand too.
I’m hoping as this is a fairly new release it goes together quickly and easily. If I have time in the middle of the year, I might try a conversion of a Polar Lights Enterprise to a TOS style Kelvin-Class. I’ve had that idea swimming around my mind since I first saw the film. Thinking of naming it the USS Sagan.

We have gone from someone making a frying pan in the other build to Stephen making a pressure cooker in the new one:
Just kidding.!!!
I’m kind of getting into these other Federation design ships after seeing all you guys building them. I am interested to see how this one turns out Stephen.

I do like tinkering with TOS style designs. It expands on the fleet besides from the Constitutions we only ever saw in the originals. The Polar Lights Enterprise is a perfect kit for modding, lots of optional parts to play around with.
On the old site I did a 4 nacelle ship of my own imagination I named the USS Patrick Moore, in honour of astronomer and long time presenter of the BBC’s The Sky at Night. Similar in style to the Stargazer from TNG. I imagined it is a deep space exploration vessel. Unfortunately it got some damage in the house move and I really do need to unbox and repair it.
I’ve also been toying with the idea of something similar to an Oberth, but more along the lines of a heavy tug or fleet maintenance ship.

Yes, there’s no escaping how the single nacelle designs look like frying pans!
I might just go along with the joke one day and name one the USS Skillet of the Starfleet Catering Corps.
