Hiroboy gets a magazine feature

In UK's best selling car tuning mag called Redline. While flicking through the tuner mags while the girlfriend was card shopping I noticed he’s Varis evo on the contents page, I then flick through to a 3 page article on he’s models which is more then most real cars get LOL.

Well done :)

Will try and get a scan later

Congratulations Steve :biggrin:

Mike

Pick it up first thing :smokin:
Also Chris (SAS) has quite a few cars featured and a nice weblink.
I asked them to meantion AF but they didn't, also It could be read as all models are mine and not some of Chris's which is a shame. :banghead:

I'll try to get a PDF version at higher res.

Beautifully awesome!!!!!!!!

Publishing C:sunglasse:sunglasselness!!

:lol: Yea man thats cool! I wish i get featured in a magazine someday. That would be awesome. Congrats' Steve!

Steve,

Forget asking them to mention AF you should have asked them do your models get photographed with some piece of totty. She could have put one of them on her.....ahem!! never mind!!!! :redface:

I think only Kylie Minogue could fit :tongue:

Picked up my copy a little earlier. Is a little disapointing that they don't actually mention which models are mine, especially when I spent the weekend taking new pics just for them:rolleyes: But its a good spread though.

I think only Kylie Minogue could fit :tongue:

Yeah....you could set a cup on that backside...

Congrats Steve and Chris. Awesome!

Congrats to both of you.

Hey, a magazine feature, thats awesome

its a bit sad they didn't show more of the r32, especially the engine which is fabulous

you would be worth an entire magazine's pages to show the world all the wonderful work you've done in all your models ! lol

Freakin' cool!

Wow!! thats Awesome man!!, how did they find out about your models??

:eek2:

Man.

Not to sound too much like a :newbie:, but Hiro's shit is just crazy. Terminally ILL, as it were.

I think a spread like this would be good in Scale Auto - have you considered submitting anything, Steve?

Congrat man! I know the reason why they did shoose you.. you are awesome;)

Congratulations!

thats awesome. congratulations to the both of you!!

Your notoriety increases ! - well done both

Wow!! thats Awesome man!!, how did they find out about your models??

i was thinking the same thing.yeah, congratulations guys.

Awesome Steve. Again this confirms you're one of the best modelers, if not, the best modeler around. Congrats and keep on going :thumbsup:

Congratulations, i hope this gets even more people interested in the car modelling hobby.

Congrads to you both....you have done us all proud.....Hell, you even got a reply from the man himself...igor

Very cool! Congratulations!!!

Gj to both Steve and Chris, awesome stuff!! Modellling gods such as you guys deseve it!! Keep it up

So, wow. Jeez. Steve gets his models in a car mag. Most of us are plenty impressed by pics in a model car mag. :dunno:

First you fool Fujimi with their own kit. Next you get it published in a 1:1 tuner mag...

What's next, Steve? If I hear that thing sets a lap record at Silverstone, I may just lose it!


;)

Top work to both of you! You should see if igor wants to sponsor the cars, so you can sneak the URL in... ;)

Congrats guys... thats impressive and im proud to get to corrispond with you guys on a regular basis. it makes me feel important :lol: i think this is a big deal cus its a 1:1 mag and could result in a trend of new modellers which means more money for the manufacturers to put out so new kits!!!! and its a big eye opener for my girlfriend that this modelling stuff is legitimate and reconized by the public. not just this "silly" forum. you boys have done me proud! AF modelling should publish an annual magazine to showcase the years best work. i would certainly invest and maybe one of the model mags would help with distribution... what do you think???? i think we could get plenty of advertising... just a thought. PM me if you think this is a good idea im looking to start a small business and this would be fun and i think this forum could put together a much better mag then Model Cars no offense.

Sweeeet!! Congrats :)

Congratulations to both! :thumbsup:

i know it is off topic but to touch on the comment about a magazine like spread. i think it would be awesome if one of the magazines did a spread on the AFMOTY.

Congrats to you both :cheers:

Congrats Steve!

I'll say..........FINALLY!! Congratulations to both! :ylsuper:

Congrats Steve and Chris, you both deserve it!

Congrats Steve and Chris, you both deserve it!

:cheers:

Congrats guys. I thought having my cars in Scale Auto was something, you get a feature. Top stuff!!

Congrats, Steve!

They contacted me too but I didn't submit anything, didn't know anything about that magazine at all, have never seen it here in the States.

Hi Veyron,

my name is Dan Goodyer, and I'm contacting you from Redline magazine in the UK. Your profile doesn't state whereabouts you are from, so if you haven't seen a copy of the mag, we feature modified road cars and visit all the biggest shows in the UK and across Europe. Two of our guys have literally just got back from SEMA.

Anyway, I'm putting together a 3-page feature in the mag about modified model cars, and would love to include some details on your Porsche Carrera GT project with the Ferrari Modena roof. It's an AMAZING piece of design and application, and I applaud you for it. :smokin:

Basically, if you'd like to help out, could you e-mail me pics of the project throughout the build (is it complete?). I have contacted a small number of you from the automotive forums (Hiroboy, Camber, etc.) and would love to have a sleeciton of really top-quality models that have been put together to a high standard with INDIVIDUAL modifications. Hence your Porsche project is ideal.

If you can help me in any way - providing details of where to purchase wheels, and tips for new starters and any pics of past or present projects you think would be suitable, that would be fantastic. My deadline for this piece is the early part of next week.

Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Dan

Congrats, Steve!

They contacted me too but I didn't submit anything, didn't know anything about that magazine at all, have never seen it here in the States.

I know he want to contact you, but I figured you were not to interested as you didn't reply.
He may have also contacted Kunta? I did sugest it to him, but not sure if he did.

be nice if they ran models in with their photochop features

Congrats! I knew it was only time before a mag did a spread such as this, very cool! So, how bout' that pdf hi-res picture of the article? :naughty:

Top Banana Steve, looks to be a great spread, I think someone needs to point out to them that they are not TOYS you dont play with them, anyone plays with my models I bo**ock them. Anyway well done.

Congrats Steve and Chris! You're only doing the modeling world good.

I don't know which is more impressive: the article feature or getting a congrats from Igor!

Congratulations to all those who were featured, credited or not.

Congrats Steve, well deserved!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.
I have now uploaded a high res PDF of the article here :

i think it would be awesome if one of the magazines did a spread on the AFMOTY.
