Graham Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I'm thinking of setting up a page linked to the MW toy page, to feature Macross custom toys by MW members, as we have so many great customs coming out and I feel it would be good to have a permanent record all in one place. The page would basically be divided into the following categories: - 1/48 Customs. 1/55 Customs. 1/60 Customs. Other Macross toy customs. Who thinks this is a good idea? Obviously, I'd have to get Shawn's approval, but I'm sure he'll say yes. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I say go for it. There's been so many cool customs posted over the years, and they deserve to be archived somewhere. Why no Macross World? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRAND CANNON Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Ditto!! Would also enable all to see the customs in an easier format (i.e. thumbnail galleries). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppy Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Good idea! Because when I want to find a custom I remeber was really good I have to find it through the 'search' function. And if there's a place I can show off a custom it would motivate me to finish them quicker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGuy42 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I think it's a killer idea. MWers have been starting threads regarding that for as far back as I can remember... ..not to mention, it'll bring some attention back to the main page.

UN Spacy Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 After seeing all the insanely cool customs in the Model & Toy Forum I'm suprised we didn't have one earlier. I think it's a GREAT idea Graham! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmitty Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 It would be cool to be able to see all the custom toys and models on a seperate page without having to search the forums for all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flippant_remark Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yes Yes Yes. List them by Artist so they get due credit. I did post this idea on the Staff Feedback forum This is the reply I got from yellowlightman: "For the most part, custom Valks aren't nearly as common anymore. I guess the variety in Yamato's releases and the Bandai reissues got rid of the need for most customs, though we still have some members making some really kick ass customs. Macross Fan Works (see my sig) is open to toy customizers too, but most of the people who use it are fan artists. " What customisers have to do is PM yellowlightman for space on the Fanworks gallery. I still think a dedicated custom valk gallery would be nice tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Arms Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 This is something that should have been done yrs ago. We've seen alot of great talent come and go. I fear that those new to the boards will have missed out on all the great customs that used to be more frequent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LtStick Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Sounds like a good idea. There is a lot of quality work out there and I think it would give others ideas as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 What about models? I'm the toy guy, Shawn's the model guy. I'll let Shawn handle a model page if he wants to do one. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yes Yes Yes.List them by Artist so they get due credit. Yup, of course I will list the name of each creator. And if any creator objects to their work being featured, I will of course take it down on request. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 OK, I'm going to start on this tonight. I'll handle the page design and uploading to the server. I should have a basic page with at least a couple of customs ready to show tonight. However, if any of you have some free time, what I need are research assistants to help me locate the URLs for the forum threads that feature toy customs. If any of you are willing to help with this to save me a bit of time, can you please post the URL in this thread. Thanks, Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 HEHEHHEH ...i would like to bring up some points. 1-Low viz was based on a low viz UN airforce fan custom 2-a lot of the japanese fans frequent this site as we have no japanese equivalent...in this case we are the hotspot for macross internationally! we ARE the site(good job shawn and graham!) why did I bring this up? Well maybe someone on t˙ese boards will make a bad ass custom(a bunch of members have i am in awe of the time dedication and skill put into the customs posted here) and kawamori or yamato will notice..and make it the NEXT LIMITED EDITION 1/48 VF-1!! remember the low viz was based on a custom! Course this might not happen but I think it could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 Graham! Finally you came up with a good idea!!! Yepeeeee!! I absolutelly agree with this. Anything I can do to help, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 (edited) Hey Graham. Great idea! Can we add a JM custom category? Or maybe a misc. category to tie up the loose ends for toys. Edited February 23, 2004 by >EXO< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
