Alright, I am going to cast my vote with some reasoning.
I say no rule changes after so much interest was shown in the Campaign. The fact is that a rule change could be used to bring in people if the Campaign isn't getting enough participation. Otherwise, it should be declared from the outset that previously started kits are allowed.
Now, about Ian's predicament- Two, and only two parts are stuck together. I see no issue as most of the kits is unbuilt. Less that 5% built is close to none as long as we see a dated photo of it now and it is in the same condition in the dated photo at the start of the Campaign.
Really, I love the idea of allowing WIPs but even for the Campaigns that allow them, those that declare they want to enter a WIP MUST show the work they plan to enter in a dated photograph and have a new dated photograph showing the same condition at the start date. It is only fair to those starting new kits to see the progression of the build.
To practice what I preach, I plan to enter my gun jeep in the Charlie Don't Surf Redux and have stopped the build. If this simple rule is adopted, I shall post my dated photo in the sign up thread so all can see the condition of it now and compare it to the condition at the start date.
Regards,
