Dave Ambrose Posted August 25, 2022 Posted August 25, 2022 Model Cars Magazine #215 should be hitting your mailboxes any day now. We jumped into the 3D printing deep end with stories that will inform modelers of all levels. If 3D isn’t quite your thing, don’t worry, there are still plenty of inspirational stories which include 8 pages of NNL West coverage. 4
OldNYJim Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 I wanna download that car! Excited to see this one hit my mailbox -good work, everyone behind the scenes!
wrenchr Posted August 26, 2022 Posted August 26, 2022 Looking forward to it....Been enjoying every issue!!
tim boyd Posted August 27, 2022 Posted August 27, 2022 You guys knocked it out of the park this time! Big congrats to all....TB 1
rrb124@sbcglobal.net Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Received 215 this morning. everything stops when I get this mag!
GarryR Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Gee-whiz! This is chock full of interesting articles. Best magazine I have seen in a while. The other MCMs have been great, but its one will take several sittings and re-readings to digest. Thanks!! 1
iBorg Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) What was that other magazine we lost that served the hobby?* This issue raises the bar a bunch. *Plastic Fanatic (the forerunner to MCM) edited by Roy Sorensen whose picture is in this issue in the West Coast NNL article. Edited August 30, 2022 by iBorg 1
TonyK Posted August 30, 2022 Posted August 30, 2022 Not gonna do any 3D printing but don't mind buying some if they offer something really good.
TarheelRick Posted September 2, 2022 Posted September 2, 2022 Got mine a couple of days ago. Just had a chance to leaf through it, seems like it is going to be a good issue. May be too "dated" to consider purchasing and learning how to use a 3D printer, but the technology is quite interesting.

We can publish an update, but our publishing cycle is short enough that the information in this issue is quite fresh and up to date.

Actually Dave, I was referring to me as being "dated", I am well past the let's try this new technology. I will just sit back and enjoy the fruits of the labors of others. Just corrected my earlier post.
TonyK Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 I got what you were saying and feel the same way. Let the young enthusiastic ones learn this new stuff but I still enjoy reading about it.

I'm not big into lowriders, but I appreciate and respect the craftsmanship that goes into them. 1
Danno Posted September 6, 2022 Posted September 6, 2022 True dat, Dave! PS: Super issue!! It just keeps getting better all the time!

The "hobby" is interesting no matter what the subject is and that's why I read this magazine from cover to cover. And Lowriders......A model of them and/or a real car makes my jaw drop. The talent these people have to create those paint jobs are unreal. Great job on the magazine btw.
Kenmojr Posted September 7, 2022 Posted September 7, 2022 I only wish one of our local newstands or hobby shops carried your magazine. Too bad Michaels doesn't carry it as there are three Michaels within a short distance from my home.
OldNYJim Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Got mine today here in Indiana - another GREAT issue, although I’ve only flicked through it so far. Already downloaded the birdcage Maserati though - what a cool thing for you guys to arrange! Worth the price of admission just for those gorgeous wire wheels!
stitchdup Posted September 22, 2022 Posted September 22, 2022 mine arrived in ecosse (it means scotland) today, just in time for me to learn more about 3d printing before taking the plunge next month. as a bonus it gives me something to read at work tonight
peter31a Posted October 1, 2022 Posted October 1, 2022 Just curious. Any Canadians get their copy of 215 yet? Thanks.
