StevenGuthmiller Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I have to offer my congratulations to forum member Gareth Muldoon, (doorsovdoon) for his full page spread in the "forum finds" section of MCM issue #208 of his 1971 Thunderbird! Great work Gareth, and a hearty congratulations!!! Steve Edited April 14, 2021 by StevenGuthmiller
Tom Geiger Posted April 14, 2021 Posted April 14, 2021 Congratulations Garett! I cannot wait for my copy to arrive!
doorsovdoon Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Uh? What's "Forum Finds"? I did indeed do a WIP on a '71 T-Bird and posted in Under Glass, but that's about it, I never wrote a full page spread! Was it entered into some sort of competition? Have I won something? Lol!

Tim, our art director, has been picking out good builds to feature in the magazine. 208 is the first issue with forum finds. I can't say you've won anything except recognition for an outstanding build. That said, I'd like to see that change.
Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 Cheers Gareth! It was nice to see the Forum Finds in #208, overall great issue.

I see that you are just as surprised as I was to find out that my '65 Fury was on the cover as well as inside, along with my '68 Olds as part of the "dscV-16" contest coverage. Think of it this way. No prizes or remuneration, but you get to see one of your models in print, along with everyone else that buys the magazine. What could be cooler than that! Better pick up a copy!

doorsovdoon Posted April 15, 2021 Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Ah, ok, that's neat! I'm honoured! Never thought any of my builds would be magazine worthy! Cheers, guys? Here's the kit. I remember going into it with little enthusiasm but it turned out to be a little hidden gem by AMT! Edited April 15, 2021 by doorsovdoon
Brutalform Posted April 17, 2021 Posted April 17, 2021 Congratulations on your build being chosen. Fantastic work!

The first I knew anything about this was when I was randomly scrolling through topics and seen a thread titled "Congratulations doorsovdoon" Lol!

It’s every modeler’s goal to one day see their work in a magazine! Your life is complete!
Pete75 Posted April 18, 2021 Posted April 18, 2021 Congratulations Gareth. It's a pity we can't actually see your achievement here in Europe, but it's an honour nonetheless!

Venom Posted April 20, 2021 Posted April 20, 2021 That is awesome!!... I’m happy for you Gareth.??? I was wondering, could there be a topic made to post a pic (from the magazine) of the chosen build for that issue?
