The WORLDS BEST Model Car Contest - The GSL Automotive Championship 2023. A Sneak Peek...

2023 was the 28th and LAST EVER GSL Model Automotive Championship in Salt Lake City Utah. Today a sneak Peek at this amazing event.

May 4-7th saw the last ever AND the largest GSL Model Automotive Championship. The competition was beyond extreme! Contestants traveled to Salt Lake City from all over the world for a chance at the ultimate bragging rights in the most competitive model car contest. Many scratch-built models and extreme mods and detailing of plastic kits. And unbelievable paint jobs.

This week a short sneak peek as we wade through the hundreds of videos and photos we brought back to Garagemahal.

Happy to see you're going to cover this show, Dale. Model cars have always been a passion of mine alongside model railroading. I had hoped to attend the show, but my schedule wouldn't permit. Looking forward to future installments.

Saw you on Rodder Files this morning 6-4-23 and checked your channel out . Love your models and videos

This is why I stopped building, I achieved my goals, ran out of colors, basically the hobby became a job ! However, now I enjoy watching what others are doing . I can no longer do this to level I wish for. I fear a lot of these super detail builders will experience the hobby burnout as I did ! Sure is fun watching your coverage of the different shows ! Thank you Sir! ✌️🫡🇺🇸

I was good at building model kits... but what you were showing was miles above what I did. The details were outstanding and would win awards at car shows if they were real cars.

Sad to hear this was the last show. Sadly most young people don't know how to work with their hands building stuff. Being 66 years old I understand times change so I did what I could to pass on my enjoyment of different subjects to others.

I learned Mark’s name from Scale Auto Magazine, and the GSLNL. That was over 30 years ago, and I’m 56. Time changes us…..

When you reach the skill level displayed here you can become obsessive. Detail, design, paint and display have to go beyond "over the top".
I was fine with it all, but then I made the mistake of watchin a man build a 1/48 scale OV -10 Bronco, and could not believe the level of detail he achieved. The airframe number on the model was 155471, In the real world I had worked on that OV-10. 155471 was assigned to VAL-4/VS-41 in the Navy. He made one mistake. 155471 was painted green, he painted it gray. ( only US Air Force OV-10's were painted gray) That small error would have cost him winning a contest,
I said that just to show how far model builders can go to achieve perfection. I'm expecting to see your garden railroad to get to that level, because you certainly can do it
Great introduction. I'm going to enjoy all the follow up's. ;-)

Less than 5 minutes? I hope there is more? ☹☹😢

Why is this the Last Show? Are all the old modelers dying off all at once, like a Mass Suicide?

[robertdavis]

I remember the late 1960's, 7-11 stores had a yearly Model building contest, I remember entering that Red Baron car that I briefly seen in this video.
