1320wayne Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The contest issue arrived at my local hobby store today and it's got great coverage from shows all over the states. Lots of great builds being shown but I'm rather dissapointed that there were no shows from the Southeast featured. I know that there were people representing Model Cars at some really good shows last year and I know that that there is only so much room in the contest issue but it's still a shame not to at least see photos from the Atlanta NNL from last year. Regardless, it's still a great issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hey, Wayne's remarks bring to mind a question ... When Darryl Gassaway "retired," Model Cars advertised for a West Coast/Southwest photographer to cover the shows and contests of CA, AZ, NV, etc. Who was selected and what became of that?

Mooneyzs Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I just had my LHS give me a call to let me know that a new issue of MCM came in today and they will be holding me a copy which I will pick up tomorrow after work. Guess it must be the contest issue.... Can't wait to see the new issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Darryl Gassaway "retired," Model Cars advertised for a West Coast/Southwest photographer to cover the shows and contests of CA, AZ, NV, etc. Who was selected and what became of that? I'm not really sure, however there are four shows featured in this issue from CA and AZ and two were submitted by Darryl and the other two by Jeff Miller.

Brizio Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Got it today, I was surprised when I saw a couple of my models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 And Harry, you did a great job making all those photographs look better, which in turn made all the models really stand out. It's a great issue, and thick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Don't look now, but Gregg and Harry snuck what appears to be a peak at the future into the Contest Issue. On page 27 there is a Model Cars subscription ad, and it caught my eye because I did not remember having seen John T's fabulous Blower Bentley in the mag. I looked a little closer and then I saw the photo of my own Allison Rayson-Craft how-to, which definitely hasn't appeared on the cover to date. I soon realized the ad included mockups of what appear to be the covers of the next two issues, alongside the current issue. Check it out. And congratulations to all whose work appeared in the Contest issue. Best regards....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I picked up my copy yesterday and what a great issue it is. A lot of great looking cars. I was lucky enough to have two of mine in the magazine from the AZ show. Also wanted to say thanks to Harry because a 3rd one of mine actually made the cover. I felt it was an honor for it to be on the cover, no idea how it made it but it did. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Got mine a couple of days ago. Front cover looked to be in great shape, then I flipped it over. Oh well. I like the contest issues, I just wonder, is ther any way to include reviews and what's new in them? I really miss that in the contest issue.

Tom Setzer Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm ussualy one of the first to receive it, but I haven't yet. It should get here today,or tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, as I'm unable to do any building for awhile, and I will miss all of the shows I normally attend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
