The 2024 NNL Motor City showed some interesting trends this year. Just as in the 1/1 scale world where they are top sellers, model trucks are occupying more and more of the table space at this show. We are also seeing more varied modeling subjects, with (from my POV) some really innovative pickup and Class 6-8 trucks and semis on the show. Even new 1/25th scale motorcycle and unlimited hydro boat models And, of course, the ever-growing presence of 3D modeling in our hobby.

As has been the case in the past, when ever possible I photographed the name of the builder after showing his or her models, so that the creators of these miniature masterpieces are properly recognized for their creativity and modeling expertise.

Enjoy your tabletop trip through some of the highlights of the 2024 NNL Moor City! Cheers....

Here's a taste....two new builds from Steve Perry using his new multi-media Calnaga Castings Triumph Show Bikes offering, inspired by the original Revell Parts Pack Triumph Show Bike Parts Pack.... and yes, that's a dual engine Triumph drag bike in 1/25th!

Thanks Tim,

The Triumph Show Bike is currently in the Calnaga store.   https://calnaga.com/triumph-show-bike  Give me about a week to get the Twin Triumph Drag Bike up.  I just finished it for the Motor City NNL.

Appreciate all the pics, Tim!  I know it’s no easy task to photograph and upload all of those - thanks for making the effort!

Thanks for the great coverage of the show. Lots of really fantastic models. I enjoyed seeing them all but it was really cool to see Mike Kollver's stock first gen Barracuda especially with the recent re-release announcement.

Thanks for the pictures, Tim. For those of us who couldn't make it. Maybe some day I will.
