Sixx Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Ok, I'm probably gonna catch some flack for this...I got my 39 Chevy ( green ) coupe in the " other " magazine!!!! Again!! It's on the last page, one little pic...my wifes photo by the way, still makes me giggle!! The first time was a 69 Nova, April issue, then a 61 Ford, again an April issue, now this!!! This is the exact photo I'm ready for the stone throwing!!! LOL!!!!
MachinistMark Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 nice model. im getting ready to start one of these kits in a bit when i finish up my green nova and the 51 chevy. mine will be a gasser.
Sixx Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks guy's!!! I thought I'd get my stones crushed for mentioning the " other " mag.!!!! LOL!!!!!
mikemodeler Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Derrick, Congrats on the picture in the other mag. Around here it is okay if you mention the other mag, but don't go on their forum and mention MCM!
cobraman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Congrats ! If I remember right your Nova was yellow with black stripes. Very nice cars and very nice photos. I got my Cobra collecton in a magazine a few years ago. It's a pretty good charge to see your stuff in a magazine isn't it ?
martinfan5 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Thanks guy's!!! I thought I'd get my stones crushed for mentioning the " other " mag.!!!! LOL!!!!! Remember , we are not as uptight about the that "other" magazine as they are
cobraman Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 I like probably most of you subscribe to both magazines. I enjoy both magazines but the one I like the best is the one I am reading at the time.
rmvw guy Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 (edited) Congratulations on getting it in the magazine! Nice and shiny! You are a lucky guy to have a wife who shares in your hobby and takes excellent photos. Edited September 1, 2012 by rmvw guy
Ramfins59 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Congratulations Derrick. Getting a model pictured in ANY magazine is better than winning a trophy... Keep up the good work.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Beautiful model, congratulations. These 39 Chevys look great in bright colors. Great job.
Jantrix Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Well done. I hadn't realized that issue had shipped yet.
george 53 Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Congrats again! Just shows good building talents are APPERICIATED !!!!
crazyjim Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Congratulations. Good lookiing SHINY :) build.
Sixx Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Thank's guy's!! I dig both mags, years ago, I found Scale Auto...around 1986? got me back in the hobby. Then, I found Plastic Fanatic...that's all it took!!! I'm commited to both!! Congrats ! If I remember right your Nova was yellow with black stripes. Very nice cars and very nice photos. I got my Cobra collecton in a magazine a few years ago. It's a pretty good charge to see your stuff in a magazine isn't it ? You got it Ray!!! That was my Nova!! Yes , seeing your own build in any mag is a trip!!! My first " published " photos were in a Teamsters Rail Road Members magazine!! They started a section on railroad workers hobbies. I was 2nd or 3rd, If I remember right, the 1st guy built 1:1 hot rods!! Pretty cool!!
moparmagiclives Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Just got it in the mail, great work !!!
Harry P. Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Nice looking model! Congrats on getting in the mag! (Maybe you should submit something to me so that you can get into OUR mag...)
Danno Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks guy's!!! I thought I'd get my stones crushed for mentioning the " other " mag.!!!! LOL!!!!! There's another mag?
Sixx Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 Congratulations! I had one of my models photo'd for SA but didn't make it into the mags LOL...Don't mention this board on Spotlight either, automatic deletion. Wow, really? they would delete it? geez! I'd love to see a mag that had photos of peoples models...not like a contest issue, just pics that people have sent in. I know, there would be the question of photo quality.
rmvw guy Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 I just received the mag in the mail today and have already turned to your page at least three times. Congrats again, I now feel some how connected to you. I would be proud to have one of my models in any mag just once!
Harry P. Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 As far as getting your models featured in the magazine (I mean Model Cars magazine, not the "other" one)... all you have to do is submit something! That's how we get 90% of our material-from you guys! We don't have "staff writers" or contributors on staff. We rely on contributions and submissions from you guys out there! Remember... we're the magazine about model car building... by model car builders! That's not just a hokey slogan, it's the truth!
Gregg Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Yes, very true, we have no animosities here. Macus Nichols over at Tamiya Model Magazine (the" other mag") is a very nice guy, I consider him a friend. I have no problem mentioning his magazine at all. Heh, I even get his digital versions
