BUILDING A BLOWN FLAT HEAD & AN ENLARGER MACHINE!

When Pico Elgin showed me his 3D printing of the Frenzel blower at NNL West several years ago I knew I had to order some for myself.

TIM SLESAK'S “El Commotion”!

I got my first inspiration for “El Commotion” when I saw the Ridler Award winner while working the MPC Model Car Customizing Contest at the 1973 Detroit Autorama.

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.
