Custom Model Cars 1961

I’ll be happy to post the rest of this if anyone is interested. The Barrett Jackson auto auction was on Speed channel this weekend and I just happened to catch a great interview with George Barris!

Yes please.

[Foxer]

Would love to see a scan of that!

[Gregg]

Please don't post a complete scan of the published book/magazine here.

Hate to be the bear, but there are copyright issues involved.

Thanks for your understanding.

Also, please don't post a link to the scans.

And one more bearer of bad news, there is a law/order/action out affecting the printing of anything with Malboro on it.

I am doing research on this now.

Marlboro? Where's that? I'm missing something.

Flavor country???

Wow... suddenly I hear that TV commercial jingle in my head... "Come to where... the flavor is... Come to Marlboro country."

Major flashback to my childhood there! How does something that I haven't seen or heard for all these years suddenly come back to me? The human brain is remarkable...

Printing out marlboro? would this include downloading an image of marlboro and printing on your own computer to apply them to your own model? If so man they are strick. Course I should know all about copyright laws, got another one for you. I have a vinyl cutting business and I used to advertise on our site the got milk? saying and the milk board of california, sent me a cease and decist letter saying they copyrigthed the saying got milk? and if i didnt take it down they would confiscate all my equipment and sue me for a whole lot of money, so i can see the marlboro thing!

The M*r*b*r* issue has been going on for a long time now. People who sell them have to be very careful how they let you know they have them. Decals with Camel also have resorted to placing half of the name on one place on the sheet and the other half another place. Personally I believe as long as it is a legal product they should be able to advertise it. BTW i do not smoke. There is places on the net that have many name brand fonts including the Marlboro.ttf file which I have downloaded if you want to print them yourself.

I'm amazed at the size of the large paint brush on the magazine cover! I've used brushes that size to paint the window trim on houses!

In 1961 most participants in the model building hobby were living on their allowance and couldn't even afford spray cans, let alone airbrushes! That's for painting the bodies - if you can afford to own more than one paintbrush!

That's where I missed out, then. I only had one paintbrush- and I still have it almost thirty five years later!
