New magazine from Kalmbach
Xingu replied to Mike 1017's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I may have worded it a bit harsh. So instead of "screwing us over", how about "essentially abandon us." It all just rubs me the wrong way. I feel like they are trying to fleece our little niche market one last time. Here buy this one magazine, sure it is three times as much as a regular issue, but it is full of all the how-to stuff you always wanted us to put in the magazine. Oh and we were able to charge our advertisers extra because it is a special issue. (That is more baseless speculation by the way) I also look at as, what if MCM were to do this 6 months or a year ago. Imagine the uproar, not from everyone of course, but there would be a VERY vocal group of folks on here posting every negative thing they could manage. Which, ironically, we would allow them to do, unlike SA. They would have immediately removed the posts, that made them look bad, and possibly the accounts that posted them. Yes, everyone can make their own decision as if to buy it or not. I will not get it directly from the publisher, but I may get one on eBay next year for $2 plus shipping though. I have said my piece, explained my piece and I will not let it go. -
New magazine from Kalmbach
Xingu replied to Mike 1017's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Given the things we had to listen to over the last few years, I think I am allowed to throw some baseless speculation out there. There are threads full of it here, about MCM. I also did say that I didn't look at the link, kinda takes the baseless speculation aspect away when you do that. Glad to see how folks defend SA, now maybe you can see where we were coming from. Water tastes a little different when you drink it from the other mug. For the record I subscribed to MCM, SA and FSM. I now only subscribe to one. -

Xingu replied to Mike 1017's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Oh, I know other magazines do it. Most other magazines don't do it right after they canceled your subscription and try to get you hooked on something else. Just rubs me wrong is all. -
New magazine from Kalmbach

Without even looking at it, I bet it is reprinted articles from already published magazines all compiled into one place. Probably costs less than $20. Most who will buy it, already have the the articles, if they would just look for them. I personally would not give them another dime, now that they have screwed over our segment of the hobby. -
AMT kits suck!
Xingu replied to Plumcrazy Preston's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I don't think you guys are going to provide anything new and useful for the OP. Going to lock it here. -
Bought myself wheels and tires for Christmas. Going to get it back on the road again. Been sitting for over 15 years.

There are some larger paint jars that do not fit into a nail polish display/holder. Just double check the dimensions to make sure it works for the paints you want to put in it.

They both mean the same thing, there are posts in that particular thread that you have not read. Click on it and it will take you to the first unread post. The star just means that you have posted a comment in that thread. FYI - You can hover your mouse over most things on this board and it will tell you what it does.

Imagine if you are handicapped and technology like this allows you to have a more normal life. Sure some of it seems useless to most folks, but it could allow others to be much more independent.

What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)
Xingu replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Lets please keep this thread on track. We have other threads down in the Off-Topic area that pertain to non-modeling arrivals. -
2020 ACME Southern Nationals Results
Xingu replied to StevenGuthmiller's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I just have to laugh. This is the same type of thing you hear in the parking lot after a "regular" model show or even after a 1:1 car shows. -
This information is posted in the Aftermarket Suppliers section. Openly buying and selling is prohibited on this board.

Will we ever see the Monogram S-10 again?
Xingu replied to Jim H.'s topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
I agree. Back to the models please. -
What did you see on the road today?
Xingu replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
This is the perfect color combination. This is just how i would have mine (except I would have kept the wing black). -
My guess is that it would be a struggle to get it to conform to our small scale models without visible creases or bubbles. Give it a shot and post your results.

No, for some unknown reason it was removed from the software. That is the #1 feature I would like to have back.

Invision Forum Enable Post Likes/Reactions?
Xingu replied to Jordan White's topic in How To Use This Board
We have discussed this numerous times. We feel if we allow reactions, we would get even fewer responses. People would just click (Thumbs Up) and move on. Not everyone of course, but a fairly large number would. Personally, I feel that reactions are just another way of dumbing down or removing human interaction from society. -
I bet that somewhere in the User Agreement (that no one reads) you give them the authority to do a lot of things with your photos.

I flagged this so Dave can look into it for you.

Xingu replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just getting caught up on this thread. The spirit of this thread is to post about the cars you see out driving or the ones you see on the side of the road during your journey. We have a separate section for car show photos. -
I am finally getting caught up on this thread. Lets keep the quotes clean please. The language rules apply to this thread too.

Xingu replied to Dave Ambrose's topic in Model Cars Magazine News and Discussions
Would be helpful if you guys did not stir the pot.....it's almost as bad. -
The Gallery is on Dave's long list of things to try and get sorted out.
