The Model Car Magazine Forum is becoming Model Car Makers

[Dave Ambrose]

Today, Gregg Hutchings, and Dave Ambrose issued the following statement:

Over the years, the forum has grown into a fantastic community and gained its own identity. Rather than stifle this amazing community, Model Cars Magazine has chosen to embrace it and allow the forum to grow into its own and best serve its current needs. This also allows the magazine to focus its energy into what it does best: bringing you great model car content in print.

What’s going to change?

The forum will be moving to a new web address, modelcarmakers.com. The forum leadership that you've grown to know and trust will remain the same but will now be the ones running the show. The forum may still do collaborations with Model Cars Magazine, but we'll have our own website with content crafted especially for Model Car Makers.

Gregg Hutchings and his team will concentrate on bringing you top quality articles and show coverage. Dave Ambrose is leaving the magazine to head up Model Car Makers.

For further information, please direct your inquiries to info@modelcarmakers.com or Gregg@modelcarsmag.com.

Should be interesting. I hope the previously posted content will migrate with everything else.

Absolutely! We'll be migrating the forum intact to a new home.

@Dave Ambrose, when is the full migration scheduled to be complete?

Like when does the modecarsmag extension end?

The modelcarsmag.com/forum address will work for at least the next three years.

Who is/will become the actual full owner/CEO of the new Model Car Makers forum / website ?

Has the emergence of another directly competitive printed automotive modelling magazine had any influence on the decision to break away ?

Ah, that would be me. 😁  We're retaining our capable group of moderators.

No, it unequivocally did not.

Thanks for the feedback Dave.

I guess that autonomy will now give you much more scope to develop the forum.

Thanks for the response.

Looking forward to the continued success of the forum.

This forum has been very helpful and entertaining through the years. I'm glad to see it will continue with an owner and moderators who know how to run it and know about the subject, model cars (trucks, motorcycles, etc.).
