A new model car magazine

[bobthehobbyguy]

For those who mourn the loss of Scale Auto there is a new model car  magazine out. A friend sent me a copy.

The title Is Auto Modeler and the website is https://www.AutoModelerMag.com  .

I ordered a copy from an online retailer. I want to check it out before I subscribe.

A bold move in this market, but I wish them well

Three years ago I would have been all gun ho on this. With the huge improvements to MCM, I'm good. It's a great reason to go to my LHS.

[bobthehobbyguy]

I see this as a good thing. More coverage of the hobby is great. There are limits to what can be put in an issue.

Besides a little completion is healthy  as it keeps everyone on their toes.

In their website Gallery photos is the "CatIMSA", an early '70s Chevy truck done racecar style. I'd surfed across one or two partial teaser photos of that one 5-10 years ago, might have been here at MCM, but never found the full set of all-around photos. I think it had a bed on the back, but that could be a faulty memory on my part. Anyone know who the builder is, and if it was featured anywhere long ago?

Atomic City carries the mag in stock..

I had that one in my Fotki favorites folder, Russell. I am huge fan of Dalefoursixty's builds on this forum. So it went in the new magazine's website gallery. 

 

FYI - The Auto Modeler Magazine  publishes on the months in-between the months that Model Cars publishes. Not competition - a model magazine every month.

Aha, I wasn't imagining things about a 'bed' covering over those dually wheels, and I did actually see his photos here at MCM of that one after all, but my, how time flies and how memory locations fade. Sure would love to see a ground level front view. Forgot all about his '53 Chev "Road Pig", too. (still luv your '51 Chev IMSA!)

Be great if you posted a review. 

[Dave Ambrose]

Yes, there's a new magazine. Scott, the publisher, is a former staffer for MCM. 

[Bugatti Fan]

After the demise of both Scale Auto and Model Car Builder magazines it looks like MCM will now be getting a bit of competition from the newly launched Auto Modeler Magazine I have recently heard about.

I was looking at their Gallery. Isn't that Scorpion a MCM build?

[bobthehobbyguy]

It is. Scott built it in a series. He is the publisher editor of the new magazine.

The SA contest annual was hard to beat, I'm lucky to have been featured in a few issues. Their forum was also pretty good. I will look for the new magazine, I look forward to seeing someone taking from there shooting models at shows.

[Jon Haigwood]

Digital form would be nice.

I have always wanted to get one of my model pictures in a model magazine..
