pandamonium2112 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I've got a few issues, i find them a good source of inspiration. Google it , they should have an overview of issues, that may help you out. As for this site, i believe the members would tell you that "anything that inspires you is worth something" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Neil Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) I think it's great, but I'm biased, I've written articles for him. The editor is Roy Sorenson, who used to publish a magazine called "Plastic Fanatic". Roy sold "Plastic Fanatic" to a guy named Gregg Hutchings, and Gregg changed the name to Model Cars Magazine, which is where this forum is based. Roy was also one of the co-founders of the Western NNL in California. Edited January 8, 2013 by Nitro Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 . The editor is Roy Sorenson, who used to publish a magazine called "Plastic Fanatic". Roy sold "Plastic Fanatic" to a guy named Gregg Hutchings, and Gregg changed the name to Model Cars Magazine, . Gregg told me he still owns the name "Plastic Fanatic" and that Model Cars is a seperate entity from PF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy was also one of the co-founders of the Western NNL in California. Yes, Lee is correct. Plastic Fanatic is still owned by Plastic Fanatic, Inc. Model Cars bought the mailing list/accounts from PF. small technicality, but that's just the facts :-) Long time no see Neil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Neil Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Gregg, I've been here for about three years, not as active as some others. Like your mag, you're doing a great job with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Von Don Koolkat Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 There is also Kustom and Hot Rod Models magazine (like Model Car Builder - a supplement to the other magazines) at http://koolkat.magcloud.com There is also a lowrider model magazine at magcloud. To be historically and technically accurate, NNL West was begun by Tim Boyd, Gary Gollehon, David Dale, Rick Rothermel and myself several year earlier (right Tim Boyd?) - a couple years later Roy and Kevin co-founded the NNL Western Nationals event and later renamed it NNL West.
