sjordan2 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 And as far as the quality of the photography... I'm at the mercy of the contributor. Yeah, my old pal Photoshop and I can do a lot, but I'm not a miracle worker. Both cover models were Photoshopped by me big time... even though they are among the better quality photos I usually get. I have to retouch virtually every single photo you see in the mag, some a little, some I have to basically recreate from scratch. The time I spend just retouching the photos in any given issue would amaze you. Top quality builders are not always top quality photographers! Well, ya done good, boy.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I just got home and got it, and I can't wait to read it cover to cover. Great job, Harry!
Harry P. Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I just got home and got it, and I can't wait to read it cover to cover. I think you'll be "Most" interested in page 17... ouch... Not you. You're ok...
MicroNitro Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I got mine today, It is the best issue ever. The fact that my stuff is on page five dose not hurt. The article on the sprint car and altered are excellent.
Gregg Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I agree. The photographs of GSL were the best ever. They should give that photographer a raise.... and more drugs!!!! Thanks, Harry for all your hard work, dedication, support, and belief in me and the mag. I really do appreciate it. And Jairus, it's all your fault We have come a long way!
Danno Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Plus a few words here to make sure I don't merely answer this with an emoticon.
mikemodeler Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Wish I could comment here other than to say that someday my issue will come! It is nice to hear the comments about what is in the mag, makes me run to the mailbox everyday hoping that it is here!
Chuck Most Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 HOPE TO PICK IT UP FRIDAY AFTER WORK ! AND A REVIEW OF DR CRANKYS NEW BOOK i HEAR ITS A GREAT BOOK ! I know you'll like a particular builder profile featured in it...
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 It's a fine issue. I'm just getting through it now. Those How-To articles are fabulous.
Chuck Most Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Had the time to soak it in the last few hours (it's been hectic)- really digging the George Trosley interview, loved Dennis Doty's story on the Metro and Dauphine (really want both those kits!), and the show coverage. Not saying the rest sucked, those are just what popped into my head first! And I really want one of those Replicas and Miniatures Buick 8 engines now!
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 No, I made a mistake, Mr. Most's review of Doctor Cranky's book is in issue 159, I think . . . Harry, I just finished reading 160 and I can tell you it ROCKS! THANK YOU!
Mooneyzs Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I picked up my copy from my local hobby shop yeserday and its a fantastic issue. Gregg....awesone work man. I have only have read thru the GSL and Dave's altered articles. Cant wait to read the rest.
Danno Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 No, I made a mistake, Mr. Most's review of Doctor Cranky's book is in issue 159, I think . . . Harry, I just finished reading 160 and I can tell you it ROCKS! THANK YOU! You're losing it, Sir Crankster! (I suspect the accolades may have gotten to your greyish matter.) The Chuck Most Book Review & Love Fest is in Issue# 160, as reported. There is no review of Dr. Cranky's book in Issue# 159. Only too happy to set the record straight quickly, quietly, and privately so as to save you from further embarrassment. You may send a free copy to me to cover the 'consulting fee.' :lol: (Somewhat illegal emoticons here.)
Dr. Cranky Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 LOL! I think you are right, I AM losing it. No wonder, I kept reading 159 as if it were 160. Darn it, 160 hasn't arrived yet, but I am sure it will be here today or tomorrow. Thanks for keeping my head straight! :lol:
Terry Sumner Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I picked up my copy from my local hobby shop yeserday and its a fantastic issue. Gregg....awesone work man. I have only have read thru the GSL and Dave's altered articles. Cant wait to read the rest. This bothers me...it's in the hobby shops but I have a subscription and it's not here yet.
Gregg Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Come on you guys. I have explained this I don't know how many times. It's the power of six. It has to do with how many subs are in the zip code drop zone area, and if it's less than six, they get bagged together with others in the next drop zone up the ladder. If there's still less than six in that bag, it goes up one more level, to a bigger drop zone, and so forth.
george 53 Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Virge, I don't THINK your losein it, i think ya dun LOST that rascal completely!!! Great article on the book though!
Harry P. Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Come on you guys. I have explained this I don't know how many times. It's the power of six. It has to do with how many subs are in the zip code drop zone area, and if it's less than six, they get bagged together with others in the next drop zone up the ladder. If there's still less than six in that bag, it goes up one more level, to a bigger drop zone, and so forth. Which of course means that the obvious way to fix this problem is if a lot more of you guys subscribe!
Jairus Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 True that Harry! Must be a lot of guys in my area have a sub because I am usually the first to receive it. LHS doesn't carry and we have a pretty big club here in Salem so that must explain it.
Danno Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Which of course means that the obvious way to fix this problem is if a lot more of you guys subscribe! Either that, or if one guy (Terry!) was to take out 6 subscriptions, he'd get his magazine(s) A LOT FASTER!!!!!
kitbash1 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I just received issue #159 in the mail last week,guess the mail here moves a little slow. Got mine in Ontario 2 weeks ago.
RodneyBad Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Well all I can say is my LHS called me Last friday to tell me it was in. Picked it up Yesterday.. I thing it's another HomeRun issue. I know I'm perty Dang Happy with it and money well spent... Now if the Diecast section could just throw in a 1/24 scale car now and then, That would be Just dandy..
