i have Wheels Across the Desert by A. Goudie and Libyan Sands by R.A. Bagnold books for initial research (scale model building) but wondered if there was more information available. also have bookmarked some YouTube videos. if anyone could suggest resources for vehicle modifications, it would be appreciated. thanks

one of the basic tenets of writing & public speaking is to tailor the presentation to your audience. -

you might want to get started with a few kits to get the feel of things. https://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/category/JustPlugLightingSystem https://evandesigns.com/pages/video https://lights4models.com/ and then can sound be far behind? https://www.fantasonics.com/ http://www.fantasonics.com/manual.pdf https://www.ngineering.com/

Has Model Cars Magazine finally gone under?
tomqvaxy replied to noelsmith's topic in Cars, Trucks, & Motorcycles
regardless of the method of presentation, the magazine requires being "made". I think the other obstacles are an excuse for that not being done. even the ardent supporters lament coverage of 2 year old contests. sometimes it's just "time", ya know? it doesn't always equate with what we want, but denial can only go so far. reality always wins. used to work with a fellow who told the story of "Thought". Thought was brought up on the gallows. Thought didn't think he was going to be hung. but he was. -

impressive endorsements for such a moderately priced unit. I like it and the American beauty model here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007S20H0Q/?coliid=I1846ADLBVCWM0&colid=FEDCRO6LYELH&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it i'm not getting hobby time for a couple of months so I have time to cogitate for a bit, as well as save my pennies! thanks for all the inputs.
