      And just in time for the F1-pre-announcement :)

      Too bad they’ve misspelled the name of the car I’ve submitted

      It should be Renault Scenic (and not Renaul Senic as they wrote).

      Thanks for magazine and tutorial’s.

      But it’s a shame they only published a few works in the gallery. In others numbers we can see more of the work of blenderheads.

      Thank you to all involved in the magazine program. It is a great resource. As my skills improve, I will begin to submit content to try and repay the knowledge that I have gained from the Blender community. Thanks again!!!

      madman: we used to put in all images that were submitted, but decided after awhile that some of the issues were more gallery than magazine and so chose 10 as a good number. It would showcase what some of our community was doing without overloading download sizes.

      It also adds a little prestige to those picked to be in the gallery. ;)

      Although I do agree, it was fun to see all submitted images every issue.

      Appreciation and congrats for a great issue, thanx for all the effort.

      Is this magazine anywhere for sale or just download?

    • http://sandra.gilbert.googlepages.com/ Sandra Gilbert (dreamsgate)

      Just download. That way we can keep it free. It is also easier to upload correct copy if mistakes are found.

      Which by the way, I have corrected the Renault misspelling and also fixed our transliteration error on Roland’s name. Corrected copy of magazine is at:

      Wow! Car Modeling. Now thats something that I lack. I definetly going to go check this issue out.

      I remember my brother trying to model a car using bluprints. I dont think he got far with the detail though.

      Definitely good timing with the F1 announcement. Hopefully this will not only improve the quality of entries but the amount of entries.
