Dave Ambrose Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Model Cars Magazine is going to the final GSL contest in Salt Lake City. Gregg, myself, and a lot of the magazine staff will be there. We're going to be there taking pictures, talking to people, and generally enjoying the show. We'll also have a Friday evening hospitality suite. If you are there, please stop by and say hello. We don't get to see you all nearly often enough in real life. Who else is coming, and what are you bringing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Won't have my latest project done in time, so will be bringing these along to show 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell C Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Haven't missed a single GSL since 1990, not missing this one either. Thought with the postponements from the virus situation that I would have several completed projects to bring, but real life intervened with other non-hobby obligations, so the most I'll have is my Common Kit entry and maybe one older build for display.

RancheroSteve Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 I'll be there. Nothing all that new to show, but I'll be bringing a few things that have been seen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Yea I'm going, someone has to lose. 😅 Been several times, and this will be the last. Had fun finding a hotel that wasn't asking for both arms and legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Indeed, I also hear from Tim K. that much of the MCM team will be at the GSL 23 event. Great opportunity for us Forum participants and the magazine's brain trust to chat with each other, and nothing but good will come out of this for the future of the hobby.

Rocking Rodney Rat Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I was hoping to go, but can't take that much time away, caring for MIL, etc....you folks enjoy yourselves! -RRR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I will be there. Bringing something for the '29 same kit theme, and a few others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Would have loved to go. However finances would not allow or health. Not sure the thin air would cause me problems with my COPD. Will have to enjoy the show from pictures and show coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I will be there. Been years since I've been to GSL, but I cannot miss this one. I will be bringing three very special things. Save some money for the fund-raising auction - - - the museum can use your moola. See everybody there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 After looking at that post of mine, I remembered that the last time I attended GSL, I brought 'three very special things' that time, too. That's when I brought the Bob Peeples Cobras to SLC for installation in the museum! Deja vu all over again. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I will be looking forward to reports from GSL in a week's time. I will not be there for the last round as I could not justify the expense but I am sure glad that I did attend four or maybe five GSL's starting in 1997. All were incredibly memorable events where I meant many lasting friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Slammer Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I’m going with a group of modelers from Puerto Rico… 😎👍🏼 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2doors3pedals Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I'll be there for the finale. I was involved back in the early days and it will be fun visiting old friends and acquaintances. I expect it will be like my 50th high school reunion - who invited all these old people? Wow, I've been building model cars for 65 years! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calb56 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I'd love to go but... jealous of all the vendors who'll be there. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I'll be there. This will be my first - and last - GSL and I chose a small assortment of my models that I consider my best work to ,bring with me. But mainly it's one of the few chances I'll ever have to meet up with the folks I've made friends with here on the forums over the years. See you all tomorrow! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
