I got the latest issue of "Kustom & Hot Rod Models" today, with a full page article on my '62 Chrysler

[Can-Con]

Nice layout. Don picked some good pics for the article.

Not a lot of script, just captions for the pics. Looks good.

Only one little thing that kinda bugs me ,,

Right on the bottom right corner of the main pic is the script , , ,

"Model by Craig Stansfield"

&%$##$^&*^$$#%^^

That is a nice magazine, a little $$ but nice. I had the privilege of gracing his pages once. Congratulations, that's a nice piece you have. It inspired me to build a similar car.

Congrats Steve! It's always stimulating to find one's work in print. So much styrene, so little time!

Thanks guys, but I don't think you quite caught my drift ,,,

It's under someone elses name, not mine !!!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Congratulations Craig. Nice model.   

(It really is a beauty, and my head would probably explode if something I'd built was credited to somebody else)

Which nobody will ever read, just like nobody reads the corrections of things even the hallowed NYT gets hugely wrong, and so continue to believe...whatever.

That may be, but at least Steve can get a little bit of satisfaction.

If it was me, I'd be satisfied with nothing short of the correction printed, with the accompanying photos, on next month's cover.

I agree, you should ask for, actually demand a correction. But getting a model in a magazine is a great accomplishment. So congrats on that!

And we, at the forum know who really built it

[Steve H]

Hi Steve, you build beautiful models, including this 62 Chrysler. Fantastic that it got printed in the magazine, and it totally sucks that someone else’s name is on it. I’d be disappointed too.??

[James2]

So what about the guy who’s name is credited to your model? Who’s name is on his? And how many other mistakes were made?

It inspired me to send him some VERY rare vintage custom parts and pieces, because I knew he'd make great use of them. And he didn't disappoint me!

Great idea! And they should throw in a free lifetime subscription to the rag, too. 

[Can-Con]

Thanks guys.

First thing I did was leave a message for Don at the TRaK forum, even before posting here. Haven't heard back from him yet.

 

I'll send him an e-mail later now that I found his e-mail addy again.

Dunno James. When I got the magazine, first thing I looked for was my car, of course. When I seen what happened, I didn't bother looking at the rest.

I remember SA doing this quite often, poor editing! I would always check the other entries to find the mistakes, sometimes they would just be all over the place. One reason I quit buying that rag a long time ago!

There was a funny letter in one issue of SA complaining that the magazine had completely butchered a builder's name in one issue, and then butchered it a different way in a correction they printed in the next issue...they got it right by the third try though, luckily ?

[Can-Con]

Just got a reply from Don about the magazine article. He's correcting the master, sending me a corrected copy plus printing a correction notice in the next issue and sending me a copy of the one as well. So everything worked out fine.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Glad to here you got it resolved.

[JollySipper]

It's cool that they're sending you a corrected copy!

Is Craig Stansfield at least a good builder? I would have had to look him up to see how he builds.......

Craig is a excellent builder. He's done some pretty cool stuff. 

But his build style and mine are not quite the same. 

[blunc]

I had one of my builds show up in one of the model magazines that covered one of the GSL's a few years ago, they got my name correct but the accompanying text was nothing like what I had written on the "photo card"...a little disappointing but I got bragging rights.  ?

 

[Bugatti Fan]

It is understandable to be irritated and annoyed if your model is captioned incorrectly in a magazine having gone to print.

But we all make mistakes and the editor did his best to apologise and make amends by getting a specially corrected copy printed up for Steve. At least he tried to resolve the matter personally with Steve in the best way he could. I would guess that an apology in all probability will also appear in the next edition.
