Skottoman's VW Samba Project

[Skottoman]

I have not heard back from any VW mag regarding usage... so, I really don't know.

I'll have to look up whom I emailed, and give them a ring.

Cheers,

Skottoman

If you're a member over at "The Samba" you should post it up in the VW R/C thread!

I am not, but if you are, you're more than welcome to post some of the photos and a link to this build thread!

Will post this here for readers of www.rccaraction.com.

The VW Samba will be featured as readers ride of the month soon, so keep an eye out.

Also, the editor Erich (Nice guy), asked if I was interested in writing/photographing a scale build or technique article for the magazine.

Pretty cool, I don't have any builds lined up at the moment, but I may take him up on this in the future.

Possibilities are endless...

Great news Scott

Did you ask Erich whether he'd buy the kit for you to build from ?

[Skottoman]

He did say it was a paid gig, but how much I don't know.

I'll find out soon enough.

Cheers,

Skottoman

I think you need to show off your skills!!! And get PAID for it too!! RESULT!!!

Congratulations to Skottoman as his build is featured as Reader Ride of the month in RC Car Action! I just received my copy of the magazine and saw the VW featured in it!

Congrats, that's fantastic!!! So happy to see more TCers recognized for their incredible skills.

[Skottoman]

Wow!

Would love to see some scans of the magazine! (Or screenshots of the digital edition)

I'm going to see if I can find one...

Cheers,

Skottoman

I too have a copy of the feature - they really should have done an article; the short blurb covers so little...

I mean, that interior!

P.S.: Skottoman, I sent you a scanned copy of the page. It looks fabulous!

[mongoose1983]

Is there any chance you'd share the scan here so we all can see it?

[Grastens]

Well, at this moment on my phone I cannot post a good-looking scan, but this link to a low-res can offer a preview:

Once I can get onto a computer, I can clean up this post.

Edit - ah, here it is:

[mongoose1983]

Thanks in advance, Grastens.

[Skottoman]

I'd like to add these scans of an article I have been working on.

RC Car Action worked with me to write up a build article for the 2014 Buyers Guide.

Here are scans of the relevant pages.

Cheers,

Skottoman

AWESOME DUDE! I would love to have a pic let alone a feature of anything I own in a magazine!

[speedy_w_beans]

Great article, Skottoman! And congratulations on all the recognition you'll get for a fantastic build!

[Champ85]

Mmmm.... I love bacon too. Congratulations Skottoman. Incredible detail in that build.

You sir, are the master

[SteveU30]

Still loving the Samba. Do you know when the buyers guide goes on sale?

[bromvw]

The Fat Willy's sticker in the rear window is now famous . Excellent Article Scott . It really does the Samba justice .
