Is GSL XXVIII 2023 really on?

[Chris in Berwyn]

The website and Facebook page haven’t been updated since 2021.  No word on agenda, finalization of Sheraton as the venue, or anything else.  I tried emailing Mark G at the Museum’s email address but did not hear back.

Mark's hit-and-miss on emails sometimes, but when I emailed him a couple weeks back to alert him to an old model kit on eBay, he affirmed that he was keeping plenty busy on the GSL planning.

The July mass email update said, "GSL will be presented at the Salt Lake Sheraton hotel - where we’ve held the Championship for many years. Room reservations will open in January of 2023."

Just got an email confirming the Sheraton. This was a general GSL update.

COMMON KIT

The Common Kit for GSL-XXVIII is the Revell 1929 Ford Model A Roadster (kit #RMX854463). The intent of this Class is for each entrant to start with the same kit, then display their widest array of individual creativity, craftsmanship, building skills, and technical innovations. The entrant may build the entry in any style or vintage. Regardless, all entered models must be based upon the parts from this kit.  Entrants may also: i) swap parts from any other kit(s); ii) use any aftermarket parts; iii) use any body from another 1929 Ford kit but may not use a complete aftermarket resin body; and iv) use any building materials, techniques or technologies without restriction.

See you there in May... a week before my 75th birthday! -KK

Life is good!

Right at the moment, I believe you have to be on their list to receive an email copy of the registration form when they have it ready to go out:

Thanks, Russell.

 

I just put in for the email list on Monday. Nothing yet.

 

It's a good drive to Salt Lake. I am hoping there is table space.
