In this issue
We have a ton of cool stories that will inspire you and get you fired up to build this winter! In the last issue we gave you a glimpse of Amalgam’s unbelievable scale replica’s in our centerfold. In this issue we take a closer look at what it takes to turn out these big buck creations. You might be able to afford the $5,000.00 kit, but wouldn’t be cool if you could?
Next up is a feature on an amazing VW Camper that you have to see to believe. It ranges high on the “originality” scale!
Then an old friend of mine Rodney Williams step up and asked if he could contribute some articles to Model Car Builder? Rodney is a nationally acclaimed airplane model builder who builds museum quality replicas that wins awards wherever he goes. He puts that same attention to detail in his model cars. I look forward to seeing more from Rodney.
I had lined up another four page how-to article for the final pages of the magazine, but the writer pulled it at the last minute. So BIG SURPRISE: EVENTS COVERAGE! That’s right, for the first time, and hopefully the last, we have events coverage from the local Goodguys car show. I don’t like to do events coverage because we’re a “how-to” magazine, but since this issue seems to have a life of its own I decided to fill the last minute pages with some of the more interesting models at the Goodguys Autumn Nationals.
Build ups include Revell’s new 1967 Camaro SS, and the re-issue of Monogram’s Cherry Bomb. Plus more Web Tips!
Model Car Builder Magazine Description:
MODEL CAR BUILDER (MCB). I’ve been a model car builder all my life. I started as a kid and I’ve been building ever since. In the late 80s, early 90s I published a model car magazine called “Plastic Fanatic”. I sold the magazine and went back to school to study visual design and computer graphics. Kind of fell out of the hobby for a while, but then my wife and friends encouraged me to start building again, that’s when I decided to start a new magazine. Only this time the magazine is strictly a “how-to” magazine. No kit reviews, no events coverage, no new products section, strictly how-to’s and feature cars. Our in-depth how-to articles show you step-by-step how to detail a model car and our feature cars are done by some of the best modelers in the country. If you’re a serious model car builder, or a beginner looking for tips, then MCB is a “must have” for your work bench.
