roadkill Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 G'day guys, My name is Michael and I live on the left hand coast of Australia, or Western Australia, in Quinns Rocks a northern suburb of Perth. I,m in forced retirement due to illness so the interweb thingy and building models is a big part of my days, but I have encounterd an issue that I don't understand and would like to find out what's going on.I found this site on the bottom edge of Model Car Builders Association, which I have been trying to join but they won't let me and say it's because, well here is the e-mail.Of course I can't ask them (not a member)so I'm hoping you may be able to. Many thanks, regards Michael (roadkill) Dear roadkill, Our staff has opted not to approve your account, and therefore it has been removed.

Greg Cullinan Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 I've never heard of the forum you mention,but this one here should suit your needs! Welcome!
davyou5 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Hey there, Yes Welcome here, this modeling forum is for all, around the world, and you will never find a more friendly place , though I could be wrong about that .
The Modeling Hermit Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 It sounds to me that you have two options. The first is to concern yourself with an organization that says they don't want you. The second is to come and join us and have some fum. From one lone wolf to another; welcome to the forum, and let's see some of your models.
roadkill Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 Hey thanks for the warm welcome I'll post some pics when I figure out how.(all my pics average 1.5mb)
davyou5 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Hey thanks for the warm welcome I'll post some pics when I figure out how.(all my pics average 1.5mb) Go the website called PhotoBucket.com, make yourself an account, upload your images, and then use the Insert Image link on the top when you are going to post. Copy the Direct link into the box and boom! picture is inserted . Very good work on the Model you have shown us here . I want to see it finished .
roadkill Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 My link Yeah mate I'd like to see it finished too, so I'll keep ploding on with it and all the others, 'cause I'm building 6 of them in different forms, so far I have 1 finished,1 very nearly finished, and 1 well and truly started. I've also been scrounging parts etc for the next 2. As for the photobucket thing all I can say is Doh! http://s763.photobucket.com/home/mrcasual I hope that's right, I guess I'll find out huh? Thanks Michael (roadkill)and/or (mr casual)
Jantrix Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Don't get me started on MCBA. Welcome to MCM forum. You'll find everything you need.
mrmike Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Any web site that requires you to register just so you go in and look around is not worth the time or effort, IMHO. You are better off here!
Foxer Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Welcome to where the real modelers hang. There are NO rule here other than the old Golden one. That E Type was looking very good!
Jon Cole Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Wow... an organization that looks for excuses to NOT let people to join? Hey, it may be your last communication with a real dinosaur... 'cause they will surely go extinct! They are NOT helping the hobby grow. Anyhow, welcome to MCMMB! We are a friendly bunch (most of the time)... well, at least I think we have all had our shots and stuff.
paul alflen Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 We welcome all Aussies to our forum. Welcome Mate, well put a shrimp on the barbie for you!!!! Now how about trading us some nice 1953 Holden resin bodies??
Harry P. Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 If you want to post photos here from your Photobucket album (not just a link to the photo, but the photo itself)... you need to copy the information in the "IMG Code" window of the photo in Photobucket and paste that information here into your post.
paul alflen Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 (edited) I Googled Model Car Builders Assoc. It gave me a website/ forum in Arizona. It Looks Like they build kool lowriders in their club if that is your interest. if not you are welcome to stay in our forum. check out our big boyz forum. Lots of kool 1/8th stuff built there. Edited October 4, 2010 by paul alflen
Ricks Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 That forum is for members of MCBA only. Its kinda like a private club house for the club to discuss goings on. MCBA is a great club with lots of really great builders in it but they are very selective of who they let into the club. Its nothing personal against you on them not letting you onto the forum it just they keep it closed to the general public to let them handle club business and what not. FYI.. Im not a member of the club nor do i speak for them. So take what was said above with a grain of salt. I am however friends with most of the members and understand how the club/forum works..
DanielG Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Welcome Roadkill! I visited another (diecast) site the other day and they also required registration before browsing, which I did, and then found nothing of interest anyway!
DRG Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Sounds to me like that other web-site did you a favor. Welcome to MCM forum. I joined several months ago and am very glad I did. Great bunch of guys willing to help modelers if needed.
MoparWoman Jamie Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Wow... an organization that looks for excuses to NOT let people to join? Hey, it may be your last communication with a real dinosaur... 'cause they will surely go extinct! They are NOT helping the hobby grow. Anyhow, welcome to MCMMB! We are a friendly bunch (most of the time)... well, at least I think we have all had our shots and stuff. I am shock to hear that as well, mostly most places wants more people to join "in" and not keep them "out". At least he found the better place to hang out on an that is on this site here! To bad for the other place that rejected him.
Harry P. Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 That other forum is not open to the public, it's for their club members only.
seeker589 Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Hey thanks for the warm welcome I'll post some pics when I figure out how.(all my pics average 1.5mb) The Jag is sweet! The first REAL sports car I ever rode in was my cousin's XKE 2+2. I was about 10. I can still smell the wonderful mix of hot oil and English leather. I love the weathering detail behind the exhaust and below the Fuel door. The exhaust wrap is pretty cool, too. This is the coolest forum. The magazine is pretty top-notch, too. Welcome! Really, you don't need another forum - especially one that denies you membership.
