One of the updates is what messed it up in the first place. Even when it was working, it was temperamental. It's not one of the better features of this software package.

I removed the other photo. The Gallery has not worked properly for several years.

If you are still owed issues from your subscription, you will receive the magazine when it comes out.

Click on the image (may need to do it twice) and up the upper right will be a flyout menu "Manage Photo" you can delete from there.

You will all notice that a lot of posts are now missing from this thread. The moderator group has a lot to sort through. We may unlock this thread later, but i doubt it.

With a surge in new members signing up, many old topics may get resurrected as the new members search the site for topics that interest them. Many of the 'views' may be from search or advertising bots looking for keywords.

About 30 years ago, I used to race 1/8 scale on-road. Was a lot of fun and very expensive. We were going 75+mph back then. I can only imagine what they are capable of now. Your video has me wanting to get a new car now.

My guess is that the OP didn't realize you were offhandedly making fun, at his expense, of the fact that he didn't know Revell doesn't make a '67 Impala. I have been on this forum long enough to know that is what you were doing, in the name of humor. I just guess that I expected more from you, being a long time forum member, who prides himself on being so helpful to others. Someone decides to make a post, become a contributing member of this forum, and your first response is to poke fun at him. Shame your follow-up response wasn't your lead. No collusion was needed. I made my first comment while coming home from vacation. My later response was after I had a chance to sit in front of my computer.

In general, it usually takes a few years to get grubs under control. Be thankful you don't have a mole problem.

I guess true colors shine thru. Rather than explain Revell doesn't make a '67 or ask if he meant an AMT '67 several members would rather post memes and use passive aggressive posts to make it seem like everyone should know what manufacture whats what kits. You can call it being blunt or direct, I call it rude. Others may have different names for it.

Way to welcome a new member.

Isn't that what you were hoping for when you “generated” this content.

I have been tempted to fix some of the spelling errors though ?

I don't think most folks get upset about bringing up old topics. It is the starting a new topic every year so that 90% of the new posts are the same from the other topics. As someone who works behind the curtain on this board, I would much rather see someone go to the end of one of the existing threads and say "Anyone hear anything new?" Then we always hear about how old the date on the thread is and how it my dissuade some from reading it. This is from people who build kits manufactured in '70s.

My point in all of this is this. Gregg, Larry or anyone else associated with MCM have any obligation to provide updates, timelines, employee roster or any information whatsoever. It is nice to know that Larry has stepped up to help Gregg with the magazine. It is nice to know that a relaunch is in the works. It is nice to know any little tidbit of information that we get. That does not mean we get to demand, or at least continually ask for, answers. Very few, if any, of us need to know any detail of what is going on with the magazine. So this is taking longer than some of you expect, what do you base your expectations on? I for one have never tried to publish a magazine. I have never had to reach out to advertisers that may be leery of advertising in MCM because of past history. I have never done graphic layout. I have no idea how long it takes to do anything with a magazine. I do understand that most magazines have 3 or done (or close to done) at all times. So maybe that means 3 or 4 issues of MCM needs to be ready to go before the relaunch. Who knows. I don't care about the funding, the graphic layout, how many pages, is Gregg using a black background for photos, how many issues or any of that stuff. I, like most have no control or input over any of that. I will just wait and see what happens. Some here are hopeful that the magazine gets up and running again. Some here hope it fails, for their own personal reasons. Some could care less one way or the other and are waiting to see what happens. I am waiting to see what happens. On a different note. Signature violations, no matter what language they are in can lead lead to punishment up to permanent removal from this board. I have noted a few members here trying to sneak things past us recently.

For one, there is no obligation to answer the question. Why are you so concerned? Everyone else, while still anxious to see/hear when the magazine will start back up, is being patient. Not sure what your motives are here, as every so often you post about the magazine. It seems, at least to me, you like to keep the pot stirred up a bit. Didn't you mention in another post that you don't even have a subscription? I may have you confused with someone else though. I for one would much rather a little more time be sent in the beginning to get things right for the long term success of the magazine than to rush a subpar product to market that leaves us disappointed.

Lets drop that subject, it only feeds into it when you bring it up. We are watching it very closely. We also have quite a few members here that will quickly report any post that we need to look at.

We already have issues with too many pinned topics in some areas. We are discussing integrating the main webpage a bit more with the board and have a FAQ/Info area there. It does not matter what we do, someone will still ask the same questions again.

To those that have messaged me and reported this thread - While we would prefer that the existing threads be added to, it isn't against any rule for a poster, even if they are creating an identical thread to one they created a year ago, to bring up previously asked questions. Sometimes we merge the threads and sometimes we leave them separate.

Well, I guess it could be used for a restaurant display. I wonder if it is going to be part of a series of food kits. Someone will still try to eat it.

I am not going to speculate on what either mag is going to do. I will just wait and see. If one or the other or both provide good content, then great. If both fail, I will still build models and visit this site.

I think we (including myself here) have gotten a bit off track and turned this into a discussion about SA. Lets all get back on subject. I am sure Larry will provide an update when he has concrete information to report.

Do you meant the last issue of Scale Auto? I got mine this week as well. Subscriptions will switch to Fine Scale Modeler.

Well, even if the engineer realized the overpass was low, it isn't like he can just stop the train on the spot. I doubt all the blame falls on the engineer, even though he may end up being the scapegoat.

I think I have the whole series. They give a lot of good information.
