RE: What does it take to make a
The last two posts are about the most relevant posts yet in this tread IMHO. Housedad is 100% correct about who gets the title of master. Mode One is also 100% correct as the modeling community has no such structure to bestow such a title. That said, If you are going to look for a builder, you must look at his/her work. Since there is no real governing body to tell us who is a master that person's work must speak for itself. It doesn't matter is you are looking for a model builder, a home builder, or a good mechanic. There is no excuse for not doing your homework. Talk to their customers look at there work. Anyone ever see the TV show "Holmes on Homes"? Do your homework. Titles only have meaning if you can back them up. Otherwise, they are just words.

ORIGINAL: PilotFighter Modesty equals ability ? Unfortunately , I work with enough ___holes to know that isn't the least bit true.:D Apples and oranges, they have nothing to do with each other. I am perplexed that so many people have confused the two. |

I do thank everyone for there thoughts. Thanks pub For the term "Master Builder" to have any meaning, there would need to be an accrediting entity to regulate the usage of the term. There is no such organization doing so. Therefore in the end it, it must be regulated by the "Buyer Beware" axiom. |

"For the term "Master Builder" to have any meaning, there would need to be an accrediting entity to regulate the usage of the term."
No meaning? [:'(] A longtime member of our club has earned the position of being referred to as a "Master Builder". Over the years, and up to his "departure", he built aircraft in a most meticulous way. The end result in Each category of plane he chose, would have warmed the heart of the designer. His scale aircraft aped the full size, sprinkled with "shrink powder". PLUS... He was 100% aerodynamic savvy! All his planes flew well! His radio gear was in perfect order and condition. His flight box was a marvel. Icing on the cake... He was personable, and would not hesitate one second to help anyone who asked! Rare combination of qualities! Our members as a whole, which I say is an accrediting entity in it's own way, freely and of their own choice, refer to such a gentleman as "Master Builder"! |

There certainly are "Master Builders". I know some myself. However, the question was about whether somebody claiming to be a Master Builder had gone through some hoops to attain the clasification. |
