Stef Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Before the internet, gathering solid reference material on cars was tough. So, all through the 90s, I kept a scrapbook of everything cool and interesting I ever found in model car magazines. Just discovered it hidden in a box, so I scanned it, and I have a hires PDF (83 MB, via Dropbox link) for anyone who would like to have a copy. Just send a message or comment in this thread. There's tons of awesome ideas, cool models, great reference and good times. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I remember some of those cars from magazines way back then. Those two Matadors may be from my club. Very cool collages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hello everyone Wow, this is awesome to see so many people interested in this! I was about to trash my scrapbook, but then I was like: "Nah, I really need to share this with the modelling community!" It's a shame I never thought to properly credit everyone's fine work back then, and I've forgotten the names of a lot of the amazing builders. There's tons of great stuff from Jairus, Juha, and many, many more. I've sent download links to everyone who's responded so far; please do let me know if the links aren't working. I'll find a way to get your PDFs to you. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Terrific treasures. I, too, recognize many of the builds (and builders) and recall the magazine articles. Neat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FASTBACK340 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 You have one of my builds……… I'm flattered! Thank you! Mine is the Black Chrysler Atlantic convertible in the first picture in the second post. And when ever I see it, I laugh thinking about how it came THIS CLOSE to being stepped on a few times. Thanks again. You really made me feel good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again. You really made me feel good. Wow, John, your Atlantic is sick amazing! Dude, you're like a living legend! I'd love to see more of it! I loved working with Lindberg's Atlantic too, though I found the plastic for it (and their Crown Vic) just a wee bit more rubbery and elastic to work with than typical styrene. Did you find the same? Here's what I did with my Atlantic: used the nose and scratchbuilt everything else to make a funky woody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I hope I've gotten caught up with everyone's request for the PDF. If I've forgotten you or the link doesn't work, just hit me up and I'll get you taken care of. Thanks everyone, I appreciate all your support!
