Harry P. Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 If you have ever thought about seeing your work in the magazine some day, NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!!! We are looking for some "how-to" type articles to feature in upcoming issues. If you have a technique, trick, or tip that would be of interest to others, you might have what it takes to be featured in the magazine. Whether we can use your work depends on the quality of the photos you can provide, and how interesting and/or useful your "how-to" is. If you're interested, send me a PM and I'll spell out the details for you. You just might see your work in an upcoming issue of MCM!
rollinoldskoo Posted January 26, 2009 Posted January 26, 2009 sounds cool.... i need to get with Gregg on this
FloridaBoy Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 I have a "how to" section on how to section a 49-50 Ford, which was originally learned from a 1963 article in Rod&Custom, but I enhanced and updated it, and took my own photos. I got it down pat, and the last 49 I sectioned, it took less than one hour. Would that be of any interest to MCM readers? My latest sectioned 49 is in primer, and would like to finish it and submit the finished copy with my article, if interested. Ken "FloridaBoy" Willaman

oldman23 Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Hi I posted an article in Tips and Tricks called adjustable seats. I am now getting ready to do the actual seats for my model. The seat used in the article was just to see if my idea worked and it does. Please PM me if you are interested and I'll take some nice in process photos and do a better explanation. Thank You Ernie

Jim Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Harry, I am a charter member of the MCL (www.themodelcarlist.com and before it was the MCL) and have been around modeling for most of my life. I just signed up here though after getting a Facebook message from Gregg and thought my "Weekend Modeler" series might be a good addition to the mix. I wrote a handful of reviews for the old site that Roy Sorensen ran several years ago and a few things for the cigar site I belong to.

crazyjim Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Yo Nick, I think you should submit the how to on making the trailer hitch. I've used your system and it works very well.
Nick Winter Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Yo Nick, I think you should submit the how to on making the trailer hitch. I've used your system and it works very well. really, that was just something that I thought of one day, besides I'm not a writer.
crazyjim Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 But it would be good to share with fellow model builders. I followed your instructions & pics without a problem. Come on. You can do it.

crazyjim Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 I used it on a Ford F150 that hauls the scratch built teardrop trailer. I'll have to take some pics - I'll try to get them up tomorrow.
