NNL WEST WINNER

[Gregg]

Our good friend Anthony Rios took home the coveted Best Of Show award today here in Santa Clara NNL West for his 1/16 Chevrolet Nomad.

Way to go, mi pana!

John Teresi took home the Model Cars Magazine award for his incredible Bonneville Salt Flat Land Speed Record motorcycle streamliner replica of his father's real "bike."

Check out the photos of EVERY SINGLE MODEL on the tables at the NNL West at NNL West Photos

The files are being updated now from the hotel, so bear with me if the links are not complete.

It's late, past midnite here, and I am getting tired.

It was a great show, over a thousand models on the tables, over 400 people through the doors.

Thanks so much to the NNL West staff, thanks to Darryl Gassaway who spent the whole day shooting all the great models at the show, John Oszajca for helping with the models and selling the t-shirts, Jim Keeler for being our special guest at the show, and of course, Kelly for putting up with all us crazy model builders.

Quite some innovative stuff in this Nomad. Brilliant solution when it has smashed roof posts, as usual.

That guy with his brass sprint cars gets my Augie Hiscano memorial award.

Thanks for the pictures. Some truly stunning builds there. Lots of them, too!

Good pictures of Steve and Jimmy! (Ah... that was Jimmy Keeler, right?)

I am amazed you got Kelly off the island by the way, and looks like a great show. Those guys love color.
