Harry P. Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 At any rate, this was a very good issue, I really like the light commercial angle. We just happened to have a bunch of truck-related stuff "in the bank," so... why not an "all trucks" issue! I'd be interested to get feedback from you guys on the "Bent Road Incident" feature. It's a little different from your standard model car magazine feature... as much a story as it is a model feature. Personally I like oddball stuff like this every once in a while. Any other opinions?

Foxer Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) I just finished the Bent Road article and I did enjoy it. I was a long build up to the very nice truck build but it was well done. Just the same old articles about how much someone loves Chevys gets pretty boring. This was a refreshing change .. as is most of what's in MCM!

Gregg and Harry already know what I think of the "Bent Road Incident" (I sent them a congratulatory note as soon as the issue arrived last week), but for the record, I tremendously enjoy reading Bill Borgen's articles, both for the entertaining "setups" as well as his outstanding modeling skills in creating antique "might have been" models. Great job, guys. TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Thanks, Mike and Tim. Glad you guys enjoyed that. I'm a big fan of stuff like that, and who is a better storyteller than Bill, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meaneyme Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I am a big Porsche fan and would love to see more European type articles in the mag. Love the magazine and if I have to wait then be it, it's still a blessing to have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) If the magazine was a quarterly - identified as Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and issue number, I think there would be much less carping than with a literal monthly ID. And it could be a heck of a lot easier to produce (and priced accordingly). Edited June 11, 2015 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it could be a heck of a lot easier to produce (and priced accordingly). But it's not a quarterly... there are nine issues per year. Turning it into a quarterly would mean a lot fewer issues per yearly subscription. I am a big Porsche fan and would love to see more European type articles in the mag.

Rob Hall Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 But it's not a quarterly... there are nine issues per year. Turning it into a quarterly would mean a lot fewer issues per yearly subscription. then 2 issues per quarter + one special issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 then 2 issues per quarter + one special issue. That's not going to change anything. The magazine will still come out on an irregular schedule no matter how you label it. The best thing to do is just ignore the month on the cover. You'll get nine issues per year, as promised. Forget the "cover date." As far as MCM goes, it's irrelevant, for better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The chronic lateness I would think would be a problem with retailers, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The chronic lateness I would think would be a problem with retailers, though. I agree. But it's a fight I've been fighting for years, and I give up. I can only bang my head against a brick wall for so song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
