tim boyd Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 The 2023 edition of the Detroit Area Auto Modelers NNL Motor City featured 380 (!!!) vendors tables and a long line to get in the door even an hour after the doors opened. Here's a look at some of the models entered in the NNL portion of the event. In each case (with just a few exceptions), the builder is identified in the next image after the overall shot of their respective model so he or she can receive the credit and public notoriety they so richly deserve for their efforts. Highlights this year included viewing some 30+ of Tim Ahlborn's semi-truck collection and talking with him in person for the first time after many years of correspondence, several of Jim Drew's most impressive projects, a whole plethora of outstanding models from builders "H" and Tom Nowak, Michael Legault's latest collection of incredible airbrushed custom vans, a large display of historical AMT kits and builds, a varied group of NASCAR racecars of all generations, and so much more. Use the "Roll View" images at this link... https://public.fotki.com/funman1712/model-car-events-co/2023-nnl-motor-city/2023-nnl-motor-city-/ to quickly scroll through the images and builder IDs, and think about joining next year's NNL Motor City in person. Best to you all...TIM Pictured below - Jim Drew's large scale Bugatti.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Guys...glad you are enjoying the pix. I've always felt that builders should be identified, if possible, as they (you/us) deserve the credit for the creations we are viewing.....TB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugatti Fan Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Jim Drew's Bugatti. Was it converted from the Italeri kit? Looks really nice and produced a unique model as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
