I presume you are speaking of Randy Derr's 1/12th Camaro....I didn't take any photos of it as I had taken a bunch at a prior NNL when Randy debuted the completed model.  But there are a number of very good images of this car in Howard Cohen's photography of NNL #38, also posted here in the "Contests and Shows" section of the forum.  Hope that helps....TIM

Thanks Tim for taking all the pics!  Who ended up with the awards? we had to leave before they where handed out.

Oh by the way the Fuel Altered drag car on the primer table was mine (Matt Zimmerman) I wasn't trying to keep it a secret I just forgot to put my name on there.

I was wondering if that was the Camaro he built many years ago.

Matt....I will make the correction/update.  Thanks for the feedback...

I was in another part of the room and could not hear the announcement of most of the awards.  Of course, I'm from the "there shouldn't be ANY awards at NNL's as they are non-competitive model car shows" school of thought, but I do understand that this info is of interest to many....

Thanks all for your feedback.  As someone who has been photographing model car contests for nearly 40 years now, it has always been my belief that it is important not to just look at the models, but also to learn who actually did all that great work.....TIM

Hi Tim, I can't see any of the pics. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks.

Looks like a good show..I wanted to go, but had previously scheduled engagements on Saturday....will plan to go next year.   I haven't been to the Toledo fall event since I last lived in the Midwest in 1996.

The pictures are great with the the builders' names, but "full coverage?" Where are the trucks and commercial vehicles?

Good question.  The short answer is that I was engaged in discussions with many other builders and friends during the NNL and never got to the part of the table with the trucks this year.  I have done full coverage of the semi-trucks in particular in prior NNL's because I find the kits, the subjects, and the builds to be fascinating on many levels.  

Pat Redmond (posts on another Forum) did a great job covering the Trucks section in his coverage this year.  Also, check out Howard Cohen's coverage. 

Best regards....TIM
