So ever since I was a 10 yr old boy looking at my first issue of Scale Auto I have wanted one of my builds to appear in a magazine. It happened last week to me! Now its not exactly what i was wanting but i will take it! I will still keep plugging away on my true dream of having a car featured but this is a nice boost in my self confidence! Just wish the picture would have been nicer.

Pretty slick. Nice work. If you want to pursue fuller coverage of your work in print, take a serious look at the article and photo submission guidelines in this forum. The same principles will apply to most other mags. The more you can do to make an editor's job easy, the better your chances of being published.

Congratulations James. Getting a model pictured in a magazine is better than winning an award at a contest, even though that is a great honor too.

Looks great, congratulations. I recall the first time one of my kits made it into Fine Scale Modeler, I was thrilled to death too, it's a truly great feeling. I like the pinstriping on your oil pan too.

kool, that's a great mag too. this reminds me I have to order up the newest issue. I think they really got the right idea with the print on demand thing. wave of the future for serious magazine publishing.

great looking build too!

James... the odds of your work being featured in this magazine rise dramatically if you actually submit material to us. ;)

We rely on people submitting their work to us to be featured in the magazine... we don't have people "on staff" that create material. It's all about you guys submitting material! In fact, a ton of stuff that has appeared in the magazine has come from forum members. Just to name a few people who have had (and continue to have) features in MCM that were "discovered" right here on the forum when I first saw their work... Chuck Most, Cliff and Larry Read, Bob Steinbrunn, Scott Colmer, Bill Geary, Ken Kitchen, Marcos Cruz... that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Of course, we also regularly run material from the "heavy hitters" of the hobby like Bill Coulter or Tim Boyd or John Teresi, just to name a few... but we are always looking for new material from people who have never had their work in the magazine.

Send us some material. You might be pleasantly surprised. ;)
