Wm Cheng Is The Master...


Gabe Q

Recommended Posts

Let's give WM Cheng a custom title. Please suggest one in this thread.

After following WM's most recent build-up, I went through some of his older work. Then it occured to me, he deserves some sort of recognition.

He doesn't have to tediously document his work. He doesn't have to answer endless and, sometimes stupid, questions. He is a great contributer to this site and should be recognized for it.

I recommend the title:

Master Macross Modeler

Anyway, I hope he gets one. If a few people chime in, maybe he will.

There are more than a few MW'ers that deserve the title of Master Macross Modeler.

You're missing the point. Sure there are plenty of good modelers out there, but how many of them post detailed build-ups? I'm not talking about posting a few Work-in-Progress pics and then a finished product and calling it a "build-up". I'm talkin about his in detail build-ups. He covers every aspect of building and addresses unique problems he encounters during the build. He answers all questions, no matter how elementary they may be.

WM's detailed build-ups are the reason he deserves the title. No one else has done nearly as many and in as much detail.

1. He should have a title.

2. We should have a model gallery page

3.Maybe other contributers should also have a title of sorts.

How bout .....

1. Macross Model God

Simple and to the point after all nobodys bigger than God except maybe the Beetles. Oh no that was Jesus, my mistake.

2. we need some thing good to rival the Toyboys pages of repaints and pictures of pritty boxes. If the likes of Shawn and co dont have the time how about farming it out to some of the users there are a lot of them who can write HTML me included.

3. Give special contributers a title of sorts kinda like the minimod system only just say Macross Gold member for long time membership or Model Mentor for someone whos helpful in the modling post. There would have to be some sort of voting system or proposals page though.

Actually there was a models page in the works if you look at the home page and click on models. The effort is trying to list every Macross model made, and each one includes links to built pics and also to buildup guides that people have done.

Jesse was trying to do this but I think he's been too busy, we do need some serious HTML modeling help, Big F you should mail him about it.

Wow! I'm so flattered (flattened hehe) by this thread... :p

Thanks so much... its always nice to know that your threads are being read and especially appreciated! I am very humbled by all your praises.

I too wish there was a repository for some of my threads (especially for some of the older ones I contributed to the old boards - I hope there will be some way to rescue those someday, I still have the pictures, but the text is gone :( ). I still get PMs to those threads from time to time - and I also forget what I did on a few of those models that would of helped me out (especially when I had to build a plain-jane VF-1S for that Booster - its been a few years since I did a normal Valkyrie :huh: ).

I can't even get my "Links to my older build-ups" (see below in sig) pinned :( - I've asked so many times - but kept getting ignored?! :angry: I don't think the MOD likes me. :( I can't count how many times I've been asked for links to some build I did a while ago. Oh, well so I don't have high hopes. If we do get a model section on the home page - as I have mentioned before, I'd be glad to provide any of my photos to my models - just don't ask me to type out all that text again :rolleyes: .

Yes, there are so many other great modellers here in these boards - I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL THEIR WORKS IN ONE PLACE too. Yeah, my links to their works are getting quite unwieldy :unsure:

I have mailed Jesse to ask if he would like me to contribute in the building of pages and/or templates for pages.

I to have a large favorites folder just full of links to builds and finnished pictures.

Sadly some of the links no longer work sc1027qc.gif It would be nice to pin them down somewhere perminant.

Yes, WM definitely deserves a title. How about "Hoary Froating Modeller" or "Macross Model Ace"

As for the dedicated model gallery and page I know that Jesse was working on it and doing a nice job as well. Hopefully someone can help and speed up the process.

WM's build up threads really are the best too. I don't think I've ever seen better "how to" threads on any website. WM, you really should look into submitting items to FSM magazine. Your build ups and explanations would show quite a few "real" modelers a thing or two. If there is any way to get his build ups put into a pinned thread or a dedicated space on the main page that would be awesome!
