Terms and conditions
Ever wondered what happens if you break a community rule or try to republish someone else’s kit photo? These terms and conditions spell out your rights, responsibilities, and the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. Read on if you care about the fine print—or just want to find loopholes.

Acceptance of terms
By using this site, you accept these terms and conditions—no exceptions. If you don’t agree, you’re free to leave at any point, no hard feelings. Continued use means you’re bound by the rules below, so read carefully and question what doesn’t make sense. We like skepticism, but not at the expense of clarity.
Definitions
Legal jargon can be as confusing as kit instructions, so let’s define some basics. We use these terms throughout the policy, so you’re not left wondering what’s what halfway down the page.
“Site” refers to this website and all content, services, and features available through it. It covers everything from guides and galleries to those pages you find by accident.
“User” means anyone who visits, browses, interacts, or lurks on the site. Whether you contribute content, ask questions, or just scroll, you’re a user in our book.
“Content” covers all information on the site—text, images, comments, and even that accidental double post you regret. If it appears here, it counts as content.
“Services” include all features, resources, and communication channels we offer. This might mean forums, feedback forms, or anything else we dream up for our skeptical crew.
Proper use of services
The site is here for hobbyists, skeptics, and the model kit curious. Use it as intended: to ask questions, share builds, and learn from others. Misuse or abuse may result in account suspension or removal.
Eligibility to use
To use this site, you must be old enough to enter into a binding agreement in your country—usually 18 years or older. If you’re not, please step away from the glue and ask a grown-up for help.
This site is not intended for children under the age of 18. Parental guidance is recommended for younger hobbyists.
User responsibilities
We expect all users to act responsibly, question things thoughtfully, and contribute in good faith. Community guidelines apply to everyone, from first-timers to old hands.
You’re responsible for your own content, actions, and any consequences that
arise from them. If you post, share, or contribute, do so
thoughtfully.
If you spot something suspicious or a rule violation, let us know.
Everyone’s responsible for keeping the community honest and welcoming.
Keep your login details private. Any activity under your account is your
responsibility, so use a strong password and don’t share it.
Respect other users, moderators, and the site team. Civil debate is
encouraged, personal attacks are not.
Prohibited uses
Before you go wild, know that certain behaviours aren’t just frowned upon—they’re outright banned. Here’s what will get you shown the digital door.
Don’t use the site for anything unlawful, harmful, or misleading. That
includes posting content you don’t own, impersonating others, or
distributing malware. Just be decent.
No spamming, advertising, or using the site to promote products or services
without our explicit consent. We’re here for hobbyists, not marketers.
Don’t attempt to bypass site security, collect user data, or disrupt the
site’s function. Curiosity is good—malice is not.
No harassing, bullying, or otherwise mistreating community members. Civil
skepticism only—debate the build, not the builder.
Don’t scrape, download, or reuse site content for commercial gain. Respect
the work of creators and the purpose of the site.
Intellectual property
All original content on this site belongs to us or its respective creators. You can view, share, or link to it for personal use, but don’t copy, repackage, or sell it without permission. Respect creators—credit where it’s due.
User content
Any content you post—comments, photos, feedback—remains yours, but you give us the right to display, share, and use it within the site and related communications. You’re responsible for ensuring you have the rights to share it.
Your content rights
By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive license to use, display, and distribute it as part of the site. You can request removal at any time.
Privacy and data
We collect and process your data according to our privacy policy—no hidden agenda, just what’s needed for site operation and community engagement. For more, see our privacy policy.
Privacy policyDisclaimer
Nothing on this site comes with a hidden guarantee or magic fix. Content is for general information, not professional advice. Results may vary and mistakes are part of the fun—read the full disclaimer for details.
A word of warning
Use this site at your own risk. We’re not liable for mishaps, kit disasters, or questionable paint decisions.
Limitation of liability
We’re not liable for any losses, damages, or headaches you experience using this site. That includes missed opportunities, lost data, or model kits gone wrong. Use your own judgment before acting on anything you read here.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify us for any claims, damages, or costs arising from your misuse of the site, including any content you contribute. This helps keep things fair for everyone involved.
Dispute resolution
We’d rather resolve any issues through discussion than drama. If you have a problem, contact us first—most confusion is cleared up with a little honest conversation.
Arbitration
If a dispute arises, we prefer resolving things through friendly discussion first. If that fails, any unresolved matters may be subject to arbitration in accordance with Australian legal procedures. Both parties agree to attempt informal resolution before escalating.
Arbitration is not mandatory—you can always seek legal advice or other forms of resolution if needed. This is just an option for those who want a less formal route.
EU ODR notice
If you’re an EU resident, you may also use the Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform for complaints. Details are available through the provided link. This does not replace other rights you may have.
ODR platformSeverability
If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest still applies. Like a model kit, losing one part doesn’t ruin the whole project.
Entire agreement
These terms represent the complete agreement between you and us regarding your site use. Any previous understandings or communications are superseded by this version. If you think something’s missing, let us know—clarity is our goal.
Governing law
This site is operated from Australia and governed by Australian law. If you’re accessing it from elsewhere, local laws may also apply. Disputes will be handled under Australian jurisdiction. Always check if your region has extra rules before assuming anything is universal.
Termination of access
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access if you break the rules or misuse the site. This is to protect the community and keep things running smoothly.
Changes and updates
We reserve the right to update or revise these terms whenever needed. Significant changes will be flagged on the site. Your continued use after changes means you accept the new terms—so check back if you care.
