High octane Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Model Cars magazine has a wide variety of articles in it, so why couldn't that be incorporated in the mag also Harry?
Sixx Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 I love the white wedge thing on the first mag. funny stuff Harry!!!!!!!
Nitro Neil Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Harry, I have never shown that model to anyone. How did you get a picture of it?
george 53 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Before GarySchmitd sold the ORIGINAL Scale Auto Enthus. he would have an April Fool issue every year. I remeber really goofy stuff, like the value of the AIR in an old vintage SEALED kit. Or the Invisible plastic spray. He used an old clear GTO nascar body to show it's effects on plastic. Those were cool and gave his magazine an "It's OUR joke" kinda feelin. I think a goofball article every know an then(like April Fools Day)would be pretty cool, an be something to look forward to. Just sayin....
Nitro Neil Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) George, agreed, I always liked those April issues. I have to admit that the Airbox article - I think that was the first one - got me. I believed every word, until the next issue came. Edited October 26, 2011 by Nitro Neil
Harry P. Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 We used to do April Fools stuff in Model Cars. One year we ran an ad for a DIY home chrome system. Gregg got a bunch of angry emails from people when they found out it wasn't true!
george 53 Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Actually Harry, I once DID paint a 67 Barracuda with some liquid Kiwi BLACK shoe polish and a Q-tip! It cane out pretty smooth too, the Q-tip leaves no brushstrokes! That one died in a terriblebly massise pile up in my alley! Jeeeze I could shoot myself for some of the STUPID stuff i did to my models back then!!!! Edited October 29, 2011 by george 53
Jantrix Posted November 3, 2011 Posted November 3, 2011 Harry you are having way to much fun with this stuff. How about the polar opposite? One for super-detailing over-acheivers?

Scott Colmer Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 This is another good one. Wish I had some of my brush painted beauties from my youth. Shortened more than one finished model with a hacksaw back then. Just cut and glue. Dark blue testers bottle covered everything.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 2, 2011 Posted December 2, 2011 Keep having fun, Harry . . . it's pretty funny stuff.
mr moto Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 THREE HOURS!!! I'll bet I can build it in one!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Harry, you should a weekly one of these because I think they are great and they might keep us laughing. Model building and laughter helps keep us younger!
Ramfins59 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 This stuff is too funny Harry. Keep up that great sense of humor.
David G. Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I love these! Thanks for the laugh Harry- keep 'em coming. David G.
Harry P. Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 I love these! Thanks for the laugh Harry- keep 'em coming. David G. Glad you like them! Time will determine whether I can keep them coming, though.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Sure you can, Harry, just let me send you a couple of Hot Scrapple Sandwiches!
