You knocked that build (and the article) right out of the park, Dennis!

Thanks so much, Dave!

My issue came in yesterday's mail. Have only had time to glance through it but did recognize one build from the KC show.  I watched it come together on another forum; the dirt track car by Tom Birky on the top of page 47.

Mine arrived here in Alabama this morning. Like everybody else says, looks like a great issue.

Got mine on Friday and read it cover to cover (Now I'm waiting for #217 ? ).  I loved the article in the The Vintage Workbench on the Ala Kart.

I remember doing the review for the mis-managed The Car Room Magazine when Danbury Mint did the Ala Kart in 1/24th scale diecast.  For every review I ever wrote, for any magazine, I always did the research on each vehicle especially those like the Ala Kart that held historical significance.

Even though I did the necessary research, the article for The Vintage Workbench brought out a couple of things about Ala Kart that I never knew.

Great Issue!

A suggestion for a future issue is an overview of Texas 3D Customs parts!  They are excellent!

I was in 215 not a full review of everything I make but it was a good review/article

Got mine day before yesterday. Great issue. Really liked the article on the "Ala Cart, had the original, built it way back then... don't remember mone looking like that, but I could be wrong.

I was utterly convinced it was a real car, until I saw the hand behind it.  Some people are assemblers, some people are artists.

What's really impressive about that build, is that it isn't THAT far away from being box stock either.  Some beautiful 3d printed parts and some masterful building - but really inspiring to see what someone can do with a relatively simple kit to make it SO lifelike!

Martin does GREAT work - and is a really nice guy...I thoroughly recommend checking out more of his work here:

A big thanks to the staff of Model Car Magazine for their continuing commitment to the hobby.

[Michael Cook]

You guys are killing it with the magazine, another great issue!
In particular a special shout-out to Larry Greenberg for his fantastic kit reviews.  They are easily the best that I have read in my 55+ years in the hobby.  Keep up the great work Larry!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Got my issue 216 the other day. Great issue.

Dennis Lacy's 32 and Tim Boyd's 29 were great how to articles.

Keep up the good work.

I was honored to have my hospital build featured in this issue. We are super happy to have a healthy baby boy, but the magazine feature was the cherry on top. Many thanks to the great folks at MCM!

216 was delivered to the post office and should be on its way to you. Hot rods caught our attention for this issue, and there is still a nice assortment of other topics to pique your interest. We hope you enjoy it!

Gregg had sent me a message a couple of months ago that he sent me a copy of #215. I yet to have gotten it. Thanks 

[iamsuperdan]

I wish Canada Post and USPS would play nicer together.

My issues finally arrived yesterday here in western Canada.

Received my issue yesterday (December 7). Great issue, guys!

Issue #216 Finally got here on Dec 8th.....

I'd like to know why it gets to some of you guys within a few days and it takes 5 weeks longer to get here....

My sub runs out with #217.....

I'm on the fence about a renewal right now.....

I can get it in the local hobby shop faster it seems.....

[Phildaupho]

216 was in my mailbox today Dec 8 in Victoria BC Canada when I arrived home from being away a few days. Great to see a locally built model on the cover !!

There is some sort of issue between USPS and Canada Post, and the printing company / distributor used.

I'm staff, and my issues only arrived this week.

 

Would be nice to see it resolved.
