No more magazine???

Ok, I hope it's bad info I got from my local club... someone said they read that Gregg was retiring and this last issue was it!! I almost punched the guy who said it! I told him no way, Gregg & Larry just got it back up & running!!! Please tell me my friend is nuts!!!! Lol !!!

Roy Sorenson, who use to own the magazine years ago then sold it to Gregg recently announced that he is retiring and just finished his last issue of Model Car Builder.  That may be who he got confused about.

Ok, that makes sense...whew, I'm gonna go knock the crud outta my buddy now! Lol ! ??

I can't promise to post your bail, but you'll certainly have my sympathy if you punched that dude. 

I can authoritatively state that Gregg is not planning to retire at this time. The magazine is an ongoing enterprise that we want to have around for many years to come. The published of Model Car Builder is retiring. They just published their last issue.

Just another case of people who "know" running off at the mouth without really having a clue.

Lots of it around, getting worse all the time.

Model Car Builder was a good magazine as was Scale Auto back in the day. Roy Sorenson retiring and deciding to close MCB and Kalmbach deciding to axe SA as it was probably making a loss are both disappointing to us  automotive modellers. It was touch and go for MCM for a while, but at least it has survived despite the odds, and long may it carry on.

Apart from a couple of truck modelling magazines from the UK and USA, it is the only English language automotive magazine left that I am aware of.

I don't know if Roy Sorenson has sold the title of Model Car Builder on or not, or simply closed up shop!
