Seminars at GSL-XXIII.
One of the central experiences in attending the GSL International Scale Vehicle Championship and Convention
is the opportunity to attend, learn from, and participate in seminars presented by leading hobbyists and builders. Regularly, these seminars attract 50-plus people per session, and start on Thursday morning and go through Friday evening (and sometimes on Saturday morning).
We're pleased to announce that we've already made arrangements for five seminars with more to come:
- Two-time GSL Best of Show winner Randy Derr will present a seminar on how he built
his GSL-XXII Best of Show and Best in Class winning model. It is a long-standing tradition going back almost two decades for Best of Show winners to return to the next Championship to "tell all" about they
built their great models. This is one way in which GSL advances the building level in the hobby. Randy has presented seminars previously, and he'll be both instructive and entertaining. Here's
Randy's Best of Show model that was treated to a full feature article in Model Cars magazine.
- Winner of Best in Class for Competition-Drag, and winner of The Augie (named for Augie Hiscano, and presented to the model with the most and best use of machined parts) Steve
Perry will present a seminar on mechanical detailing. Steve's a newcomer to the GSL Tradition, and he really shook everyone up with his model of the Freight Train dragster.
Steve's is enthusiastic about his seminar that will include a power-point presentation. Here's a pic of his GSL-XXII winning model.
- "The Wonders of the International Model Car Builders' Museum" By Mark S. Gustavson and
Alan Raab. The Museum's collection and its programs to preserve the history of our hobby and promote its future will be featured in this Seminar. Please visit the Museum website here: http://www.themodelcarmuseum.org
- Noted dioramists Jim "Hollywood" Fernandez and Don Strong will present a seminar
entitled "Diorama Construction: How to Research your Subject and Stick with the Plan" Don and Jim's work is legendary and their seminar will be great.
- Mark S. Gustavson will present the next installment in his decade-long project on building
some highly detailed models of Darryl Starbird's Predicta. With the assistance of project participant Bob Wick, this seminar will talk about having fun re-casting some of the
model kit history of this great car. Read all about this project here: http://www.thepredictaproject.org
