Bronco And Jeep Photos Needed

[coopdad]

Hey, all,

I recently started modeling again after a long hiatus and was amazed at how far the hobby has progressed in the past 20 years. As editor for Bronco Driver and Jeep Junkie magazines I thought it would make a great article. I want to have a story in both magazines dealing with the current state of modeling (how it has changed since we were kids), the interesting aspects of aftermarket parts (resin, wheels/tires, etc.) and how the creative builders that take their kits beyond the "straight out of the box" build.

So, I am looking for photos of Broncos and Jeeps to run with the stories. Ideally, I would like to see models that have many parts like lifts, engine wiring, etc... stuff that did not come "in the box."

For the Broncos, any year is welcome. For the Jeeps I would like to have pix of more than just CJs and Wrangers (but they are still welcome if they are really special).

Questions I have been asked:

1. what poses?: any and all. But I would like at least one full body shot and one detail photo of an area that was obviously hand-fabbed or has aftermarket parts (resin or tires/wheels from another kit)

2. Scale? I have not really restricted to a certain scale but think 1/24-25 would be easier to photograph so they should come out better in the mag.

3. under construction models?: I would also prefer finished models as the story is for 1:1 owners not modelers. They would (probably) not be as excited as us about all the details of what goes into the process.

4. deadline?: as soon as possible. I would like to get the story in the upcoming issue of Jeep Junkie which goes to press at the end of November... so by the first/second week of Nov. Bronco Driver goes mid December.

And lastly, photos: Send the biggest, most original (uncropped, unedited) photos possible. I can crop/lighten here.

Be sure to include your name so I can give you credit in the magazine. And a list of what you added to the kit (either fabbed by our or purchased aftermarket) would be nice to include also.

Questions, feel free to reply to this message, PM me or email me found on the web address below.

Thank you in advance,
