Less than Super Ostrich Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) awesome! I may do the VF-4 recast or the SDF-1 Cruiser Mode. But the real question is... "WHAT WILL WM CHENG ENTER?!?" p.s. Go Cubbies... beat the Braves! Edited October 1, 2003 by Less than Super Ostrich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayson72 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Maybe I'll enter my 1/72 defender, I could do the VF-1A that I completed a while ago too, what you guys think, which one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmodels Posted October 1, 2003 Author Share Posted October 1, 2003 Well... there is no way to get people to send in their actual model kits for judging. Uploading pics is the best we could do for an online contest. Besides, the main goal for the contest is to help promote model building as a hobby and have a little fun (which is why the rules are kept simple).The prizes and winning in my opinion is only secondary. In a way this is only a "warm-up contest". Hobbyfan told me that if the Christmas contest is successful, they will be sponsoring more contest and events in the future.

Grayson72 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 It's gonna make things difficult not allowing people to upload images directly to the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmodels Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 It's actually a lot easier than you think. You CAN upload the pictures directly from your computer. Just follow the instruction given to you after your contest registration and you will have no problem doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myersjessee Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Hmm...Im getting a DEBUG mode error from the forum when I go there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossX Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I think you have to log onto the site and find the polling page instead of just clicking on the above link. According to the current results, Macross models are not too popular, but Eva and Gundam models are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwmodels Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Not sure about the error. I contacted the person in charge, and he told me that could not find any problems so far. I'm guessingit could be browser related? I personally have problem viewing or posting to the board whenever I go through AOL. browser. You can try going to the main forum here. You'll find the polls in the Current Contest section. http://www.hobbyfanatics.com/modules.php?name=Forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted December 6, 2003 Share Posted December 6, 2003 I know its been said before, but I just wanted to add my sincere thanks and congratulations on an excellent effort by all. Its truely inspiring to see all the fellow modellers out there regardless of skill level. I was quite worried a few years back seeing all the local "brick & mortar" hobby shops close up. It seemed to me that this hobby was rapidly dying or at least on a decline next to the Playstation generation. Especially this small niche of modelling - so kudos to all who participated, don't sniff too much glue, and ventilate... ventilate... ventilate!!! Special thanks goes out to the organizers of this contest, community board (especially out-reaching to MacrossWorld, thanks cwmodels ), judges and HobbyFan (sorry if I missed you, but I don't know about the inner workings of this site). I realize no one had to do this, and I don't think a lot of extra monetary business was created - but for a sincere love of the hobby and promoting awareness - for that self-less cuase, I salute you.
