Where can I buy the magazine in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada? would like to have it..

How come there is nothing for Canada..I've asked my local in Winnipeg to inquire but can't find any information..

Did a little in "the Room" tonight(model room name)..Detailed the grill and dash of the 66 Nova and painted valve covers orange to match the motor..Did the hubcaps and then thought of maybe gettint the 63 Impala closer to finish..(car has no rad,firewall,battery and not much under the hood) thought a nice easy build but NOT..Nothing fit after testing fit lots..Finally decieded there will be no firewall as per kit and not much under the hood..Hood will open but stay closed on the shelf or showing..One thing I leared lots tonight was have Patience..NOTHING became airborn and I will go back tomorrow to keep at it..Stay safe out there and healthy and WEAR YOUR MASK..

On a side note at model show..I build box stock and clean..I love to do cars with ugliness or plain looking cars and hang around my entries..I like to hear the comments then walk away..An IPMS show in Winnipeg had a know it all member who said the paint on my car was not like a real car//Too thick and out of scale and the hood wasn't correct for a 64 Dodge..Asked him later on at a different table if he knew anything about cars and he said they run on gas,have four wheels and are trasportation..He's right but he shouldn't be judging an automotive class..Thats IPMS and a different set all together..

I only go to ONE NNL a year and it is run the way one should be..Each participant gets a vote sheet to pick 3 models out of all for prizes..Only one vote for all catagories..It works out great and everyone I know comes out pleased with the results..Sure some of the same win every year but with different models..I know the guys I travel with NEVER bring the same models..Always newer ones..I never win nothing but like meeting good people who do good work and you can have a beer with and get along..Steve Guthmiller is one of them..The show is fair and well run..Unfortunately I couldn't cross border this year for a reason and it wasn't I was being incarcerated..NNL NORTH is the show I'am mentioning and cudos to the Club in Minneapols for running it..Thanks guys and hope to see you next year..

My own personal opinion..I don't mean any bad for anyone on this subject, but it is what I've experience with said Pony..Its a POS..Why anyone would want a model of one is beyond me except for a conversation piece..Where I live they rusted out in 6 months and couldn't get parts, especially if you traveled to USA..Had a friend who had one..Had three weeks holiday and took wife and three kids to Arizona..Waited for parts for week and half in some hick town in Arizona..Came home after fixed and dummy he was, bought another one that was just as bad as the first..A nice rusted out model of one would look normal..Good conversation piece though..Later in life he became our City of Winnipeg Fire Chief..Must have been too much Guiness in the system back then..LOL

Basically the same kit just different style body..Your drab grey sedan looks fantastic..Nice build and I'am sure you 2 dr ht will be the same..

Welcome aboard Jason..I'am too from Canada but Winnipeg Manitoba..I'am spokesperson and chair for Winnipeg Model Car Club..This is a great site and you will see much nice work..Friend from Hawley Mn is one of the best, Steve Guthmiller..He posts lots and progress shots too..Fantastic work..Hope you enjoy it here..If you were on Scale Auto site this seems more progressive and lots of posts daily..

Another suggestion is use a marker on the side of the blade so you can see the blade..Just at the sides of the blade..The blade is chrome and so is the BMF..Color on the side of blade takes away the reflection..

Very nice work on the Satellite/GTX..Is a nice kit but found gluing the front and rear bumpers and rear pan were tough..I molded the front pan on mine and scribed mounting(original) lines on it..Nice kit and will be doing another in either Light Winchester Grey or Tawney Gold..I don't use air gun so have to have paint made at auto paint supplier..(big can worth $27.00, is lots to put out for one model) can't find copies of color from Duplicolor Perfect Match(my go to for auto colors) being in Canada they won't allow aerosols or paint to be shipped across border..Here is a picture of my GTX..Not wanting to crash thread though..

Here in Canada we got nothing especially from our Federal Government..They only do as WHO does..United Nations bull..

Keep business in the USA NOT China..Capitalism vs Socialism/Communism..

WOW very clear

Can you get a list for Canada too..My local in Winnipeg I'am going to ask him to inquire..I subscribed years ago and like the magazine..Looking forward to reading it again..My buddy Rod Maskiw did some articles for Gregg..

Wasn't Larry Greenberg associated with another Mopar Magazine years ago..Name is familiar but maybe not same guy..

Jim Skelly not at my age or on pension who can afford one..Even years down the road..Hell I don't even have a printer to use on my computer let alone a 3D printer in the future years..Hope it does work out though sure would be nice..Here is hoping..

My dad and I weren't the best friends but I loved him dearly..He taught me to respect people and work hard and be honest..When you make a deal shake the persons hand firmly..He was 88 when he passed in 1989..

Carl you mentioned your dad was 48, mine was 47..Seemed like a missed generation and we were shots in the dark..My mother was 38..I remember most of my friends dads when they were 10 could play ball with their dads..Mine was 58 just too old so I got some small jobs cutting grass and started building models..First was 58 Edsel convertible..Painted every thing except chrome bumpers tires and windshied Pactra Insignia red..Small rectangular bottles..Took two of them..I remember the day clearly to this day..I'am 72 now..Was I ever proud..

If I posted this in the wrong spot would administration put it in the correct spot..Thank you..

Seems when the other forum from the magazine that just stopped that some of our topics have gone stale..It might be me but it used to be that a comment was made a couple times an hour..Now some topics aren't used for a few days..The other site had one about pictures that hadn't had a comment for seven years..I know we welcome their old members but sure hope here doesn't go stagnent like it did there..

Funny the heading to the subject is Parts Source..That is the name of the auto supplier in Winnipeg Canada where I get my Duplicolor paints, Perfect Match and primers..Its owned and is a subsidy of Canadian Tire Corp..

Thanks and hope you and your family and well and keep safe especially with your wife on the front lines..

Sure would be nice to go to Bloominton on the 1st but doesn`t look like it..

Although its older and not too many parts count I think its the nicest detailed kit that Monogram did in that series..Builds up real nice too..
