Question About Posting Here

[Snake45]

Been here a few days now, and I love the joint! Trying to make worthwhile contributions. Got a couple Qs about where to post things.

1. Are diecasts and metal-bodies supposed to be segregated to the Diecast section? Or if they're 1/24-1/25 models of "mainstream" subjects (musclecars, ponycars, etc.) can they be shown in the Workbench and Under Glass sections? Looks to me like the Diecast section might be geared more toward 1/18 and other scales, classic and exotic subjects, and so forth. Looks like more traffic and views in the Under Glass section.

2. Okay, I gather that the proper procedure here is to post in-progress pics and reports in the Workbench section, and then when it's finished, start a new thread with finished pics in Under Glass. Now, what's the etiquette for Drag models? I gather that in-progress pics of those go in the Drag section. Do the finished pics stay in the Drag section, or should they also be moved to the Under Glass section?

Any rules or customs on these kind of matters? Anything else I need to know here to get along?

First off.... Welcome! ?

If it's diecast/metal... It goes in the diecast section, no matter the size/scale. ? It's not exclusive to 1:18s... It's probably just that they're more common, rather than other scales ??

No, you don't have to do WIP ( workbench ) threads if you don't want to. It's totally up to you ? As is starting another thread in the Under Glass section. You don't have to if you don't want to. No rules there ??

As for Drag racers... If there's a section dedicated for them... That's usually where you post them, WIPS & Completed ??

Cheers Cliff

Welcome! It's good that you want to make worthwhile contributions. We need more guys who will go the extra mile to post in progress builds and how to's. and generally participate. You'll find friendships that will go beyond the posts, guys who will not only make a suggestion on your build but will mail you the part in question. It's an all around good karma thing, and can be your favorite part of your day!

About the only thing that will get you in trouble here is not having your full name posted. You may be OK with just the first letter of your first name. You may not. Just a heads up.

Or just make up a funny name like Roger Hayes!
