Rodent Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The proprietors of my LHS don't believe in magazines, so I ordered a copy online. Informed Delivery says it will be in my mailbox today. Really wish it could be in B&N again, but I understand the issues (no pun intended) that would cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see this magazine getting back on its feet. Well laid out with great, well rounded and detailed content regardless of the model building skill level of the reader. There’s something for everyone interested in the automotive modeling hobby! One thing I noticed, besides the great coverage, was the quality of the paper stock. I wrote for Toy Cars and Models until it’s death a few years ago and always hated the thin rag that was used. Barely heavier than glossy toilet paper! It was one of the things that when I was writing for the ungodly mis-managed “The Car Room Magazine” that was focused on was the use of heavier rag closer to what Hot Rod Journal used. Helps to instill quality in the magazine (eh, when managed correctly, that is) Like the previous issue, great job! Looking forward to the next issue! Hi Brian, Many thanks for the kind words. The paper stock issue will be addressed in the not too distant future. Its on the "to-do" list, though I can't say exactly WHEN.

Dave Van Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 #208 is a good issue. CONGRATS on the hard work by all involved. ONE thing I did not think was great was some content from the MCM website. I can see why some of this was used......but as more original content becomes available I hope new issues are all new. Again thanks to the folks that provide us this magazine......I still like holding paper in my hands and spending time reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Larry, please don't get me wrong...I thought the quality of the paper was above par. All things considered, the magazine is impressive and informative with lots of great content and not boring in the slightest. Every time I finished an article, I'm reminded of the words my female English Professor, Miss Rankin, told me..."Any short story (or article in this case) should be like a woman's hemline...long enough to cover the subject and just short enough to hold your attention and still be interesting!" I have to admit, her physical demonstration of that definition helped to instill that in my head! Well worth the price of admission...er, ah...tuition! Best 3 credit course I ever took!

casassa Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 #208 arrived in central Indiana today. The PO treated my copy rather roughly; it looks like it got caught in the machinery somewhere along the line. Fortunately all the pages are there and readable. Lots of good stuff inside.

Paul Payne Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Got my copy yesterday, and it is excellent! I think picking out projects from the forum is a stroke of genius!

This board is a valuable resource to the magazine. Only natural to find talent here and expand posts into articles! Not everyone is on the boards.

lucky 130 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 GOT MY COPY Sat. My wife made me put it down and come to supper Sat. night. She made me put it down and come to bed.

Merkur XR4Ti Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I love the new issue! One question: are there guidelines or requirements for having our forum builds appear in the magazine? I saw those pics and really enjoyed that section of the magazine, would love to get one of mine in there one day. Just wondering about requirements.
