Noble effort, impressive artistic talent, but under-capitalized. Encapsulates the history of commercial slot racing businesses.

Received issue 5 yesterday. Very nice. My only critique would be putting in race results that are old news and archived on this site. Outside of that I give it an A.

Pacific Coast Hobbies can sell you back issues and you get them in a day or two. They are reliable.

That is correct, Scott has Issue #4 and 5.

Got #5 today. Really looking forward to the Gilbert build. It was my first build as a kid in the '70s.

Fellas,

Just as a matter of interest does anyone get the digital download version of the mag?

Issue #5 = awesome.

 

Thanks to Gregg for persevering, Jairus for the attention to detail plus contributions, and all the contributors to pad the magazine out.

 

Looking forward to #6.

I see at the back of the magazine, it is possible to order all issues as back order via the website, so if you're not a subscriber, and would like to get the lot, go here.

Got issues # 4 & 5 by PCH!

Hard to beat the service and professionalism from PCH.

After an exchange of emails, including my PayPal receipt, I was promised issues 1-5 and they arrived last week.  I have gone through all five.   My impressions:

 

Presentation - first class!  I could tell by the weight of the Priority Mail package that it was a quality printing job and so it was.  The magazine is on heavy coated paper and the illustrations and photos are sharp and colorful.

 

Content:  The content mimics the the content of Slot Blog.  As is the case with Slot Blog, my particular area of interest, scratch building scale (and I confess to being a "rivet counter") 1/32 cars is a small fraction of the content.  That said, I really enjoyed most of the rest of the articles for both the craftsmanship on display and presentation of ideas and techniques that can be broadly applied.

 

Outcomes:

 

I will extend my subscription - well worth it.

 

I may open a dialog with the editor about contributing something on 1/32 scratch building although I'm not certain my photography would pass muster. (I might have to buy that macro lens that I have been lusting after)

 

Well done!

[Jairus]

The editor would gladly accept!  Putting together issue #6 now.

[welslotcar]

In my opinion...Issue #5 is the best one yet (and that's saying alot). Even more beautiful and informative photos, well written text, and interesting and varied topics. I like the previous issues' heavier paper stock better, but I guess the change was made for the cost savings and shippint weight (?). Thank you Jairus and the publishing team.

Great issue-Greg & gang!

Is this business now gone?  I subscribed last year, all I ever got was #5...

[Jairus]

No Garry.
Just running on Hawaiian time.  #6 is done and Gregg is dragging his feet crossing the "t"(s) and dotting the "i"(s).
 

[slotbaker]

Looking forward to #6.

It's about time I placed another order with PCH.

[PCH Parts Express]

Issue #4 and #5 are good. We still have some of both. In 35 years you'll be kicking yourselves for not getting them now.
