Thanks for taking us along with you Mark! I feel like I was there and wish I was. Some really nice models there, that hot tub in the van was hilarious.

Thanks brother!! A lot of great talent there. And yes, How creative was that hot tub!! L O L!

[@titiparisien5915]

Very nice collection

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thank you!! Yes it is!

[@robertmann7277]

LOT'S of eye candy! The show stopper for me was the van with the hot tub in it ( not my cup of tea- but certainly unique )

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks Robert!! I agree! I spoke to the builder, very creative and fun!!

[@robertmann7277]

You did a really good job as always, but you glossed over a certain '40 Ford sedan delivery ( c'mon a little self promotion never hurts, LOL )

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thank you my friend!!

[@CycolacFan]

Excellent show, some amazing builds in all categories. There’s a ‘58 Plymouth converted to a Fury at 3:57 that seems to have the correct side trim and badges, wonder were they scratchbuilt or is someone in the aftermarket offering those parts? The MCG photoetch pack doesn’t include those pieces.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks my friend!! I agree, a great build! I’m not sure where the parts came from either but it was a fine job!

[@nunna_urbusiness8288]

Great coverage. I had plans to go but couldn’t swing 11 hours of travel. Are you going to myrtle beach at the end of the month. Week after Sebring 12 hours. Hope to meet everyone

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks brother!! Sorry we missed you!! I am thinking about Myrtle Beach but not sure yet. Hopefully!

[@greghall3396]

You really got some great video on those cars. Do you know of any more shows close to Greenville in the coming months? The one in Spartanburg was my first show since about 1987.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thank you Greg!! The SCMA has their biggest show in Simpsonville on May 20, 2023! Their flyer should be online.

[@ruanecrummett9261]

Wow

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks!!

[@sohchx]

Some really nice builds!! But, it seems like less and less people want to take the time to wet sand and polish their finishes.

Many thanks my friend!! To each their own.

What location in Roanoke is this held? My son and daughter are there, I'm sure my boy would like the show and good excuse for me to run up as well!

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Hey Tim!! It was at the main civic center/ Arena near down town. (can’t recall the exact name) Very nice large facility!

[@Ratdaddy2023]

@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 My son and I did a show there last year, giant flea market I guess, but he sells Hot Wheels and there were several other toy vendors there as well! Great site!

[@mikereynolds1408]

Did you get your model kit Revell 76 Chevy 4X4 stepside truck kit #4486 and that's a good 👍 kit 🤠🙂

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

?? Didn’t order that kit Mike. ??

[@mikereynolds1408]

Have you purchased the Revell kit #4486 76 Chevy sport 4X4 stepside truck and I did look 👀 on the website for this older version of this model kit is dating back in the 1970’s and 1980’s just came out of production. Please email 📧 me back as soon as possible today. Please I like 👍 your videos. Do you still have any 1:24 scale model Italeri semi trucks kits.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Hey Mike! I think this message was meant for Matthew /Model Cars Videos.

[@michaelleftwich8186]

This is just an observation, but this wouldn't be the ideal place to have young kids running around.( If you know what I mean).

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

In my years of going to shows, I haven’t encountered any issues as yet. ……..but The potential for disaster is there! lol Oh my!
