Crazy Ed Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Wow, It was ~3 Weeks ago I got Issue #154 . Here I thought I had 4 more weeks before I needed to renew. Hey Guys, the Check's in the Mail Ed
peter31a Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Wow! And here I was looking forward to posting in the #154 thread that I had received that one and you guys are starting to get #155 already?
MikeMc Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Now I won't be able to slowly enjoy 154.. :lol:
Chuck Most Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Now I won't be able to slowly enjoy 154.. :lol: Just don't pick up 155 until next pay day.
MikeMc Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Just don't pick up 155 until next pay day. I subscribe due to the lack of any Hobby shops that carry them within a 3 hour drive (remember ol Gilligan ???)
Cato Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I'm getting tired of MCM's stuffing my mailbox every couple o' weeks!!!! I'm gonna write Gregg a nasty email soon...
kelson Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 That's great you have gotten #155,i'm still waiting for issue #154 to arrive.
Foxer Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Oh great ... now I have to clean the "reading room" for space ... bye bye Road and Track!
Harry P. Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Oh great ... now I have to clean the "reading room" for space ... bye bye Road and Track! There's our new slogan: Model Cars keeps you regular!
RodneyBad Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 My LHS called and told me they were in Sat Nice and Crisp copy too. O ya!
whale392 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I read MCM religiously........as in 'Oh my God, they actually have it this visit'! Yeah, still haven't seen 153 show up here yet, and you guys are getting 154-155. Wonder if Ohio is a Black Hole for MCM?
Foxer Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Wonder if Ohio is a Black Hole for MCM? Naw, Ohio is just a regular Black Hole. (sorry, I went to school in Indiana just over the line in Angola ... and Ohio was the LONGEST drive coming back from semester break)
Chaz Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Wow, It was ~3 Weeks ago I got Issue #154 . Here I thought I had 4 more weeks before I needed to renew. Hey Guys, the Check's in the Mail Ed Still waiting for #154 (Subscription) Refuse to buy at my LHS. They got #154 last week.
Danno Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Okay, that's nice. #155 is out. So, where the hell is #156 ?!?!?!?! Why the greasygravy isn't it here yet???
Zoom Zoom Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 My April issue of Scale Auto just arrived... MCM issue #154 was excellent.
crispy Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) I received my issue 155 today. I'll go out on a limb and say it was a good issue, not great, but then again not all of them can be. One thing I would like to point out on this issue was the last page ad from Scale Motorsport concerning their Carbon Fiber decals. Not only is the ad selling you something it also gives a brief history of the CF as well as series and colors on the right hand side. Pretty nice ad. Which brings me to my next point. To whomever sets this rag up I appreciate being able to thumb over to the last few pages and find the ads. I don't know why I like this, but I am guessing I am able to read the magazine, then filter through the ads if needed. I like that layout. Looking forward to the next issue.

Danno Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Geesh Lee - you know, if yo udon't like the Forum, Magazine, Website, or Gregg, you are more than welcome to leave. The Door is that way --> In fact, I'd appreciate it if you took your negative attitude toward everything that is here & go elsewhere. Away from here. If you have anything to positive contribute to here I certainly love to here it, otherwise, Shut your Piehole. Jost one more thing... Since this is Gregg's Forum, He and whoever he nominates as a moderator can determine what is considered 'Free Speech' around here. Again, if you don't like it, You are free to go. Or, for that matter, Lee ... feel free to start your own forum at your own expense and promote 'free speech' by allowing anybody and everybody to bash you left and right on your own forum at your expense. You are right: It is a FREE world so long as SOMEBODY pays for it. .
Foxer Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Mine arrived fast.. got it yesterday. But, I think we need to inform Brad Leisure what "channeling" and "sectioning" means. He had great sketches showing the locations to section his pickup ... but this task was referred to as channeling in the text. The sketches were so clear that it really doesn't matter, but these are about the most basic customizing terms. My bet is that Harry edited his text, ie. Pocher builders don't section!

Darren B Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Just picked it up at the lhs, as always worth every minute of waiting. Has several really good how to's.

I'll have to go back and check Brad's original text. If I screwed up I'll come clean!
Danno Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Got mine today, too. 64 pages!!! Excellent issue, as has become customary! GREAT stories, including another terrific history feature (on the Black Widow hot rod) by Dennis Doty and Gregg; a tour of the Intl Model Builders Museum in Salt Lake City by Tim Boyd; a study of stock car kits by Bill Coulter; and a multi-page feature on John Teresi's magnificent fleet of models! AND I'm betting this is the FIRST magazine appearance of a built up Moebius Lonestar. Good looking build, Tim! A CLOSE-UP look at the Offenhauser midget. PLUS several great how-to's! One awesome magazine!!

Clearly refers to 'channeling' but describes 'sectioning.' Still, not the worst magazine screw-up I've ever seen. There's another one that consistently ... well, no need to go there!
Harry P. Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Ok... that was my mistake. Brad used the word "remove" in his original text... I have no idea how or why the word "channeled" was used instead. Maybe I was under the influence of.... uh... oh, forget it. I screwed up.
Chuck Most Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 It's a good one! The profile on John Teresi was great, the coverage of the Model Car Museum was awesome, Jairus' 'illustrated rat rod guide' has given me all sorts of sick, twisted ideas... and the whole thing is 100% Chuck Most free! May be the best article yet...
