I'd Be In Modeling Heaven! I'm 73 years Young Still Building Need A Show Like This In New England! Thanks for Posting This!
Aaaaaa very cool Charles!!!!!!!!
Wow this show is bigger then our NNL East which is a very good show itself. It would take me days just to go through all of the vendors and parts boxes. Thank again Tim for sharing. Happy Easter to you and your family.
It's a good size show Chris, so glad you enjoyed the vid!
You are absolutely killing me Tim!! I'd be in heaven!! I love those Johan flatbox kits you keep teasing me with ❤❤😊
I know.......... I'm trying to get you here so we can go buy some Johan kits!!!!!!!! 👍🙂👍
@THROTTLEPOWER I'm trying lol 😆
👍🙂👍😊@@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681
I wish we had a show like this here, lots of cool vintage kits as well as dealer promos. I am a dealer promo collector, and they had some nice ones there. I also need the 71 Demon kit. A buddy of mine had the real thing.
Man, I'd love to own the real one. Yes, they had several nice promos there.
I'm 13 minutes in and already spent all my money 💰👍🏿
I understand that Leon!
I love watching your videos. Almost your day job attending these shows. Just stopped now at the red alert model kit. Searched it on eBay and two listed. Of course I tossed a bid. That would be one sweet kit to build! Ok now I’ll continue the video. Cheers.
Yes it would... Keep me posted if you get it or not!
First time seeing this…
13 November 2023….
I seen a few kits that I have in the stash….
CLASSIC ROCK, why does that go Soooo WELL with building models…
I have my favorites I listen to while I build my models…
Not a car guy, BUT I appreciate all models and model building…
Love the old Trucks ( kits )
30s 40s 50s….
Nice to see all the VENDORS
And the aftermarket products
Thanks for putting this together…
You know the places to go
It what’s makes your channel so worth watching….
ROCK ON…….
and on, and on…….
CHRIS 🇺🇸
Classic Rock!!!!! So very true Chris 🤜🤛
I would buy them all if i was milionare. Im from Poland
I agree
At 13:00 mark of your video, on the midle shelf, there is a AMT 1971 FORD PINTO GASSER WITH A BLOWN BOSS 429 ENGINE !!! I wish RLOUND 2 WOULD REISSUE THIS KIT !! THANX FOR THE TRIP BACK TO THE PAST.
Yes, I agree Dale..... So glad you enjoyed the video.
good video thanks for sharing
Thank you so glad you enjoyed it!
Nice selection of new and vintage kits. Much better selection than I saw in Atlanta last month. This is a show I will really consider attending. Thanks for sharing.
I agree, it's a good one to attend!
Impressionant ...!!
👍👍
Wow, this was one of the best swap meets I have seen! I’m kicking myself for not making the 4 hour drive up there.
Yes, it was a good one!
Come on up for next show on March 24th, 2024!
@@tonybuglione3516 I would if I could Tony but that is when I'll be at the Mid America Truck Show in Louisville, KY. Been going to that show for about 30 yrs straight.
Thats a huge show. I went to a small one and spent 200 bucks, I would be broke in no time there.
Very cool Randy!!!!!!!!!
Another great video, Tim. I was really glad you made it up for the show. That was a long drive, i know. I hope you got some cool stuff to take home. Paul
Thank you Phil, glad you enjoyed the vid.Actually this was one of the few shows I didn't buy anything. Tried to buy the Testors Miss Budweiser Race Boat but did not see the vendor who was selling it.
Some of those kits are beyond collectors. Kits from 1975-1980 are extremely rare kits. Brings back memories
I agree!
Wow, I need to make it one year!
You would enjoy it David!!
Some real great deals! Those vendors didn't want to lug all that stuff home. Thanks for sharing.
I agree Alan
It was a blast to meet you at the show was glad you made the trip. So much cool stuff to buy. Great video can't wait to see your video on the show tables
Thank you Phil, it was GREAT to meet you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job recording the vendors area. It was great to meet you in person. 🏭🐀
Thank you Craig, it was great meeting and hanging out with you too!!! Hope to do it again soon sometime.
Very interesting and I Thank you for sharing it with us
Glad you enjoyed Tommy!
I have this fantasy of backing up a 18ft U-Haul truck, filling it full of kits and driving away 😁
Sounds great! 🙂
Dang Tim, you were in Detroit the same weekend Metallica was 🤘! Anyways great footage . I would definitely go broke at the swap meet 🤣
That's why I left most my $$$ at home. 👍🙂👍
for those of us with lifetime collections we should all take notice thanks for sharing worth it good video
I agree
That was awesome I would have went broke
I understand that!!!!
Great coverage! Thanks, Tim! Thought I saw you in someone’s pictures. This video proves that it was you.
Yes, that was me......... 🙂
Nice kits there Tim..lots of old vintage ones also.. awesome.id buy alot them..cheers and thanks for sharing 😊👍
Very cool Frank! 🤜🤛
Tim you're not making my travel plans any easier for 2024. thank you for all you do sir
This would be a good show to put on the calendar
There's kit's in here that I did 30-35 years ago. And kit's I wanted to get. Crazy. I'm going to have to go to a show up here in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 . Thanks for showing them. 👍
Seeing those sure brings back memories Kevin, glad you enjoyed! 🙂
Tim, I was at that show with one of my sons and did not see you!🙁 It was crowded and so much to see. But I did get some great stuff and met many nice people. We had a great time. My son got some great bargains too. 😎
So cool you guys got some nice bargains! 👍 Yes, it was crowded, hope to see you at a future show. 🙂
Glad you had a great time at our show and thanks for posting the videos. Hope to see you again in the spring for our judged contest, Motor City Madness along with our huge vendor area; 61,000 square feet (you read that right).
It was my first time at a model show / swap meet and I definitely was pleasantly surprised by the shear size of it. Spent too much. :) Can't wait to see what Motor City Madness has in store.
Had a fantastic time Tony and the Detroit Area Auto Modelers are a GREAT group of guys!!!!!
I agree Joe!
I got a suitcase of old model cars and parts I don't know what to do with it I think the best thing to do is to make a junkyard diorama with a bunch of minions taking the stuff apart😂 have you ever seen any miniature minions??
Yes, that would be a great idea to do with the cars and parts you have. No, I have not seen any miniature minions.
Excellent vid Tim. This event like NNL East and ACME are bucket list shows\events for me. Thanx once again, you do the best vids of shows on the Tube.
Thank you so much for the kind words Fred and glad you enjoyed the vid!!
Great clear footage as usual Tim. Didn't even know Ertl Released a 1/25 scale of Smokey and the Bandit's trailer. Saw some nice kits I would have picked up. They had everything from Hot Wheels die cast to Glen Watkins AFX slot car set.😊
So true David, seemed like everything was there. 👍🙂👍
YES! At 12.54 there is a Revell '54 Chevy Panel kit. I want it. Thanks.
👍👍
Neat show 👍 the classic rock is cool 😎 except for video making 🤪
You are 100% right!!! 🙂
Holy cow my brain just exploded 🎉
Mine did too!!!!
Such an awesome video, but I had to stop watching. I was getting dizzy watching all the amazing boxes slide by. Thanks for sharing this with us Tim!!
Glad you enjoyed Larry!
Awesome thanks a. Lot. 😂
Welcome 😊
Love our show. Sorry I missed it this time. Maybe I'll see ya one day..
Are you in the Detroit Area Auto Modelers Club?
@THROTTLEPOWER nope but some of our guys belong to multiple clubs. I'm in the Willow Run Bomber Plant IPMS club.
@@ScaleModelMuse 👍👍👍👍
@@ScaleModelMuse If I remember right all of the Willow Bomber plant is gone??
@THROTTLEPOWER mostly yeah. Yankee air museum had one building I believe. There was a fire at some point that forced them to relocate.
I'm fortunate enough to have some of these kits....especially those Hot Rod branded 1/16th funnycar kits...the Grand Am one and the Duster..got em fairly cheap back in 2011 along with and original from 1969 jo han Road Runner and the 1965 Color Me Gone 65 charger funnycar, most awesomely like 90 percent mint in box and unbuilt
Very very very cool, I love those kits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🙂👍
Thanks Tim. Awesome coverage of the vendors. Lots of cool stuff to see. About the you tube approved music...mew....needs more cowbell! lol
I 100% agree Rick!!
Ooooh! An S tank kit! I only ever saw that kit once in the UK. Probably early 90’s. Maybe earlier? I didn’t buy it, then it was gone. Gutted.
Yes, you don't see those very often.
Ok I will look. Thank you so much. Talk to you soon
👍🙂👍
Very cool, that is one heck of a swap meet!!!
Yes, it really is!!!
dambit man i wouldve been broke for tthe next 3 months 😁🤩thanks bud 😎ps to die a happy man or not that is the question🤣😅🤗
I understand that!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍🙂👍
Great vendor area!!!
I agree Tom!
So many awesome kits!!!
I think so too!
It was my first show / swap meet and I was amazed by the size of the swap meet. I left a moment too soon (and spent too quickly). As I was leaving, I heard one vendor with 6 tables was selling everything 1/2 off. I'm definitely heading back to the Motor City Maddness this spring.
He does that at every show. Maybe you'll get a shot at it another time.
I remember that anouncement Joe, I think everyone ran over then! Definitely a show worth going back too.
True
Can you tell me what city the meet was in and when next one is? I live in metro Detroit and would like to check out next one too. Thanks!
@@tonyz766 Warrin, MI. Not sure when the next one is, but they do 2 every year.
Belle vidéo 👌 😉
Thank you Alain 🤜🤛
@@THROTTLEPOWER 👍 😉 🇺🇸 🇫🇷
HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: Holly Model Kits Batman! I bet they did tyme machines there? (If they were smart they would have) Watch You Later, (MODEL CAR😎MAN CAVE)
🙂Yes, I agree 👍
Man, the Sox and Martin and California Flash pro stock Dusters would have been worth the trip alone, not to mention the Color Me Gone Challenger funny car. Would almost trade an original sealed clear bodied Petty Charger for both of them 😁
So very true Matt, those are GREAT kits!!!!!!!! 🤜🤛
@@THROTTLEPOWER amen to that brother! 🤜
I think I will Turn on Sirius x m classic Vinyl And watch This video to get the full experience that you We're talking about Well you were there walking around 🔈🎸🔉🎸🔊
Heck yea, ther ya go, I usually listen to music too. 😉
My God, that's a lot of stuff. I'd go stupid in there.
I have old stuff too.
It was loaded with kits and people!!!!!!!! Very cool that you have some old kits.
W O W
I agree Butch
All those models and probably not one 32 Chevy 5 window, one of the coolest cars in the day! Always wondered why?
I don't know, but that is a cool car Tony!
There are a few companies that made that car Tony...... Pyro, Scale Models, Hubley, Lindberg (as a pick up) and R & R Resin as a chopped top. And there may be a few more that I've forgotten about.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Thanks for your response bud! I have looked around for a long time, 1/25, but had to settle on a Ford to build a 60s Modified a relative had. The race car was very similar to the 32 Chrysler Doug Whyte built on his Muse channel. (Which is a must see) Of course, as a novice builder, my car was not nearly as bomb as Doug's, with a working steering mechanism, printed heads, etc, etc.
@@tonyz766 I can understand that.
Another great video😎
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!! 🤜🤛
amazing!
I agree!
Tim great job as always..I need your help your were showing jo-han tee shirts the last show you attended I can't find a link for them. Thank you for your help. Sorry if I sound so goofy
I don't have the info here Jay but if you go to my video on NNL East 2023 Vendors, I had Okey (Okey has the shirts) give the information (in that video) when I came to his booth. Let me know if that helps.
👍
👍🙂👍
Hopefully an hour long video of the contest?????
Almost, I think it just came out!!
I didn’t see any old Strohs delivery truck models. I know they made a couple
Now that you mention it Kevin your right, I didn't either.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .. ..
Thank you 👍

Round 17:00, the video quality drops, making it impossible to read the box labels.
Also, a suggestion to help those of us with problematic vision in one form or another: rather than panning your camera (smart-phone?) in slow, wide circles, causing motion blur that eviscerates clear imagery, could you please hold in place every three metres to either side or so (round 10 feet)? Or whatever your breadth of field can encompass clearly.
Then give us perhaps 20-30 seconds (or longer) of a stationary shot? This way, we viewers may peruse the kits without the motion haze obscuring the names, the kit makers, the stock numbers, etc. I personally would give each pause a full minute; the video would be quite a bit longer (perhaps you might edit it into three or four 30-minute segments, with cyber-links to the others), though your viewers would be grateful for your clearer videography. Please and thank you.
👍👍
Do you have something how to track upcoming model kit sales and shows for each state I can get? I'm trying to figure out if there's any I. Syracuse, NY area
Yes, check out this vid I made on finding shows. Let me know if that helps out. th-cam.com/video/f564A7VbrSw/w-d-xo.html
I do feel like you do.
Cool
What weekend is that for the model car show and model car vintage sales in Detroit
The show was this past weekend. Not sure about the dates for next year. They always put on 2 shows a year.
Our next show is March 24th, 2024.
The copyright crap wasn't your fault if they were playing it in my opinion. But what can you do
I agree!
Great video. Lot of over priced stuff at this show.
Some stuff was Greg and some stuff was not, kind of like any swap meet.
The thing about the music copyrights really sucks ! What's wrong with having it on a video? Money is what it's all about!
I agree Vincent!
Seen a 65 wildcat buick
Not the '66 wildcat from hobby lobby
I love how you video.
How are you able to get so many shows ?
( remember homie my brain has been broken
But getting better)
@@oggarage9388 I just go, it's something I've done my entire life. Check out this video I made a few months back, I think it will answer all your questions. th-cam.com/video/rWFEePAvd_4/w-d-xo.html Let me know what you thought about the vid, thanks!
Tim, any model shows on the schedule? I can't find any. Thanks
Huge place there, u sure had a long drive.
There is one this Saturday in Murfreesboro, TN..... It's an IPMS show so it will have some of everything.
Yes, the place was huge...... It was a pretty long drive but the drive went well.
@@THROTTLEPOWER Got any kits you picked up to show us? I would spent a LOT I think. LOL
@@shotdowninflames3466 One of the few shows I didn't get anyting. Was going to buy the Testors Miss Budweiser Race Boat but didn't see the Vendor. Then forgot to go back and try again.
When I see all those built ups…many just tossed in a box…it makes me sad…what will become of my models when I’m gone?
Often thought of that myself.
@@THROTTLEPOWER each build has its own story…once the builder is gone that story is gone and the model ends up in the box of the forgotten.
@@bmck-8400 Sadly, you are right.....
I'm in California I like to buy some cars is there any way I can get my hand
There are some model contests there Charles that will have kits for sale. Also, I'm sure there are a few hobby shops and Hobby Lobbys that will sell kits. All depends where in California you are.
Is there a date for the release on 64ford stocker in Dec?
No exact date, just sometime in December.
Don't they do this show more than once a year?
Yes, there is also one in March.
Great video. Any one out there have any contact info on a place called( too many projects). I think his name is Robert. Believe it or not I'm one of the three people on the planet not on Facebook. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed the video Rick.... Yes, I do, I did a FULL video on Too Many Projects. Shows his products along with his full catalog. Also all the contact info is in that video. Go back into my archives and toy will find it. Let me know if that vid helps you out.
Also, I think you can type in (Too Many Projects Throttle Power) and find it.
When do they come to miami Florida?
Not sure about the Miami area but there is a 3 day show in Kissimmee, FL. October 11-13, 2024 and I'm sure there are others in Florida that I'm not aware of.
So did you finally buy that Red Alert kit set?😂
No........ 😏 And there were 3 of them there.
@@THROTTLEPOWER awww man I would have taken out a bank loan 4 them
@@Merylstreep1949 I know, I need to put my money else where at the moment.
I'm from ohio and I'd like to know where this place is at please
The show was in the Macomb Community College Sports and Expo Center in the Detroit area.
Good selections of models, but from some of the prices on these things, I couldn't even afford to just look. Come on. How can a finished model be worth $50? No thanks. I like models too, but not that much for these prices.
I agree Michael
WHAT ABOUT AIRPLANES ...? O er ..
None at this one...... Check out my IPMS vids, those are broke down to airplanes, etc.
On the bottom of that box did you see suspension parts for that demon
I can't remember Butch.
Oh if that's all molded in in a new tool, I'm gonna be severely disappointed won't be any different than buying a resin kit
@@bkmodelcars Yea, I don't know Butch... I have a quick video that will release later today showing it more in depth.
