Yes. You can order them from Spotlight Hobbies and Model Round Up.

MCM did not organize GSL. Mark Gustafson and his fellow Trustees did. They should be referred to collectively as they all play major roles in putting on the show. MCM did have a larger than usual presence at the show, which may account for some confusion. Larry is an associate editor and contributor. Most editorial decisions are made by the editorial board which, includes multiple staff members.

The post office is really having problems this time around. If you haven't gotten your issue yet, please send an email to subscribe@modelcarsmag.com We'll send you a replacement issue.

We don't have that theme available for this version of the forum. It may well be available in the next version. If it is, I'll enable it after I upgrade.

I had the once-in-a-lifetime pleasure of seeing Fangio drive his restored F1 car at Laguna Seca. They were doing parade laps, and each new lap was a little faster than the previous one. Eventually, the Mercedes film car spun out and Fangio could drive in a more <ahem> spirited manner. I find it interesting that the mid-fifties F1 car could outdrive a modern Mercedes.

Great subject! (I'm a Fangio fanlet) I wonder if you wouldn't save yourself a ton of work by taking the model files, and have them printed in a liquid resin printer? The layers are much, much smaller and the prep will be much easier.

If it's any consolation, mine hasn't arrived either. Let me know if it doesn't get there by the end of next week, and we'll get you a replacement copy.

We do have digital subscriptions that are not Magster. If you take out a digital subscription directly with us, it's hosted on a platform we control. PM me if you need help setting that up.

Your subscription is still current. Send me a PM if it isn't there by the end of next week and I'll send you a replacement issue.

It should be soon, but might take another week or even two for yours to arrive. It all depends on the US Postal Service.

That cat is a saint.

My understanding from US Navy submariners is that in the event of a hull implosion, people basically get hammered into paste. You have a 4000 PSI shock wave. Nothing biological stands a chance.

I've been using the Vallejo acrylic putty. I like that it's a bit softer than the plastic, so you don't get sanding shadows. That's my main filler. If I need to fill a gap finer than the acrylic will get into, I use Mr. Dissolved Putty. And, I use primer and a brush to fill scratches. Mr. Dissolved putty is great stuff, but it's seriously odiferous.

White doesn't cover very well. The color of the underlying paint/model has a big influence on the final outcome. I have a few suggestions: Use white primer. Tamiya is fine, or use Mr. Color Surfacer, 1000 or above. Multiple very light coats. You need to build up the paint gradually. Use the Tamiya pre-thinned paints. Those seem to spray better, at least for me. If you're still having coverage issues, try the Tamiya matte white. That will cover better. You can follow up with a clear coat. The surface on your model looks rough. The paint is likely drying too much before it hits the model. This is a constant problem in a low-humidity environment. Spray less paint, get closer, move fast.

You could probably submerge the section in water and check it ultrasonically. Back in the '70s we built a machine that did that for tires. The return wave will be different in the presence of one or more delaminations. That said, I'm going to speculate that the cause will ultimately be due to the carbon fibers breaking rather than delamination.

I'm the managing editor, and I've been watching this topic Thank you all for commenting. I'm totally going to steal the zipper idea. ? This forum contains a huge body of knowledge, but it's poorly organized. The built-in search function isn't nearly as effective as we'd like. There is a solution for the search problem, and I'm looking at implementing that. Another possibility is a single pinned and maintained post that gives us a directory of particularly good topics. Or, we could put something like that up on our web site. Putting these in the magazine is an attractive idea, but we need to increase the page count before we consider running it as a regular feature. Could happen intermittently though. As always, we welcome your comments.

The first thing to try is clearing your browser cache. The exact procedure varies with the browser, but you can easily get the procedure with a Google search.

When it comes to delivering healthcare, the organization matters. It sets standards of conduct and performance expectations. I'm in the San Diego California area. The two biggest, and best systems are non-profit. One is independent, and the other is affiliated with University of California at San Diego. I've used both non-profit systems, and both are much better than the for-profit medical facilities.

Find different doctors. If they give you an after visit survey, let 'm have it. For what it's worth, I've found non-profit medical orgs much better than for-profits.

I'd look at two things -- First is your current monitor's resolution. It should be at least 1920x1080. If it's lower than that, get a new monitor. Second is the available plugs on the back. It should have either Digital Video Interface, or some size of HDMI connector. If it doesn't have either of those, get a new monitor. DVI is identifiable by having a blade as one of the contacts. You can get adapter cables to go between HDMI devices, and DVI monitors. There are three sizes of HDMI connector, micro, mini, and full-size. My Dell desktop and Mac Mini have full size. My camera has a mini, and my new laptop has a micro. If money gets tight, I'm going to open a cable store. I currently have two largish monitors on my main desktop system. They have DVI connectors and are working fine. Incidentally, Costco has good prices on monitors.

We also had this problem. I'd go for a short drive at some inconspicuous time. The main thing is to get all the speeds to calibrate the engine ECU. Then, just have the smog shop fail it, and get the permit for the full driving cycle. The DMV is just enforcing the underlying laws, which are frequently defective. Contact can also contact your local assembly representative. They can get that permit ironed out.

It's a bit of a joke. My daughter's degree is in cultural (social) anthropology. I have extensive course work in it too, and my sister in-law is a cultural antropology professor at Rutgers. Surveys are a key tool for Cultural anthro and they spend a lot of time learning how to interpret them properly.
