Well how did THIS happen?? My member rank is that of “Snap Together”? You haven’t even seen my work, man, and you’re labeling me a novice already??? I demand a recount!!
WOAH…calm down! LOL
The forum has post rankings…which are listed here somewhere.
Everyone starts off at that rank.
Uh, well, oh.
I hear you, I’m labeled as aftermarket, I tend to build strait from the box. I’ve done some aftermarket but they still look like they are built by a novice. I do enjoy the build though which is all that counts in my book.
ModelNerd, your status will soon change with your 10th post, so do not fret too much. It’s all good fun… You may even end up with a very special rank of your own, like Chris above… LOL
Welcome to FSM by the way.
Domi
Howd that happen? [%-)]
reputation for posts at odd hours like 3 and 4 am, dave heard about it and voila!!!
Chris, LOL! I see. I take it this wasnt voluntary on the part of Chris (Historyinscale)?

[:D][;)][:D][8D][:p]
Chris you would be right! LOL
Of course as of late with working 12-15hr days I havent been doing much posting at all especially during the wee hrs of the AM…I will be sooooooo glad when my brother n law gets back from his vacation. Of course by then…I’ll be used to it! LOL
Thanx-

Children … at home none … raised three and I am a free man now !!!
ModelNerd, Keep on posting and you will see different titles and stars under your name. I am 97 posts away from getting my 4th star.

any grandchildren yet???
Hey mark, I’m a bit late, but congratulations on your 1000th post!! Didn’t dwight do a Captian Insomnipost pic in the “Coming of the Darkside” thread? Hehehe… it should be Chris’ sig! I think a few of us, like Courney and myself were spared from the chopping block… Phew!
ModelNerd: It’s actually getting out of hand (in a good way), because people’s sons, daughters, nieces, nephews and most especially wives are getting into the modeling act, so this forum is indeed a family website! Nice P-47 by the way! Natural metal finishes are always a challenge!
Domo arigato, y’all. Yup- metal finishes have their challenges. I will be doing it again with my latest, the P-51 (see my website for the step-by-step (sorta) build). I am a masochist.
Thought I heard my name mentioned around here. Ah right, Shrike did. Oh BTW, Modelnerd, don’t worry, the rank does not specifically refer to skills or experienced (although guys like Sherm, DJ, J-hulk, and others have ranks equally proportional to their skills in modeling). It is just a gauge of how talkative one is in the forum (He-he-he). I was at that level about six months ago and I am about to shoot for my 2k posts. And of course this does not mean that I am very good or a pro. In fact I can even say that your work is far better than mine. I mean I also did some aircraft models but yours are very good and mine are …well just models! (LOL).
So stick around and post. That’s the only way to go if you want to change your rank. Besides, you could help us out more by posting more info on your methods.
Thanks.
You are far too kind evaluating my work, Dwight. On the contrary, I am glad that low-resolution web photos mask the flaws!
But thank you kindly! Keep feedin’ my ego!
