31st Annual Fulton Model Car and Truck Contest 2023

[@rj2571]

I just have to take a moment to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone for watching this video as well as leaving a comment and liking it. I make these vids in hope of promoting not only this hobby, but the shows and contests. I attempted to build model trucks and cars as a kid and started building again in 2013. A year later I started going to the swap meets in Binghamton, New York. And in 2017 I started going to the shows here in the northeast. It has been a great journey so far. I have met many great people through this hobby. It has been a very rewarding hobby to say the least. If you build models and have the chance to go to a show/contest in your area by all means go.

Meeting fellow modelers in person is a highlight, I thoroughly enjoyed "talkin' trucks" with everyone on Sunday (and learning more about the O&W from you) along with the opportunity to pick up some kits and detail parts that aren't readily available up here. I second your recommendation of "If you build models and have the chance to go to a show/contest in your area by all means go".

Thanks, Rob for stopping by and leaving a comment. It was great seeing everyone in person Sunday. Speaking of trains, if you have google earth on your pc here is a website that where many of the railroad maps have been put on google earth. www.msrailroads.com/Google_earth.htm I can spend hours looking at things like that. And talking truck movies, I finally got around to watching Revenge On The Highway. By chance have your seen The Great Smokey Roadblock with Henry Fonda? I can't say it's the best movie I've ever seen but there is a nice W900 in it.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, KC. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the video. I had the pleasure of meeting Tim at The NNL East this year. He's a great guy. I do enjoy the content he puts out. I'm flattered to be even mentioned with him in the same sentence. I make these vids to try and help promote both the hobby and these shows. I've met so many great people over the years going to these shows. This has been a very rewarding hobby.

@@rj2571 my pleasure mate anytime, and yes Tim is a great guy, it would be cool to meet you both 1 day, looking forward to seeing more ✌👊🇦🇺🤝🇺🇸😎👍

It was great to see again and all your models! Your video review of the show is some of the best work. You hit all the classes. If you missed the show this was a sample of top shelf modeling - Upstate NY Style! Someone said If you want to get better, work out with people that are better than you. It will make you better! It great to be part of it! 31years & Getting Bigger👍🏻

Thanks, Mark for stopping by and leaving a comment. It was great seeing you and everyone else at this show. Thanks for the kind words for this video. I try to get pictures of each model, but always seem to miss a few. There really are some amazing builders that attend both this show and The Spring Thaw. I met a lot of great people and learned so much going to these shows.

[@Coverblue6]

Wow!! That was awesome! Thanks for doing this. Some really great models!!!

[@rj2571]

Thanks!! It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the video. This is a very nice show with lots of great builds.

[@skruloos1]

Great video..i havent been to this show in awhile,but i always enjoyed the swapmeet along with the modelshow..lots of talented builders out that way..

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Scott for stopping by and leaving a comment. Fulton is still a great show and swap meet. I look forward to this show every year. I agree, lots of talented builders in that area. I've learned so much that has made me a better builder from the people that go to this show.

[@poppysrcandmodels]

All I can say is wow! Modeling at it's finest! Fantastic video coverage! 👍😎👍

[@rj2571]

Thanks Pops for stopping by and leaving a comment. It's nice to hear that you enjoyed the video. I'll be the first to admit that I know very little about photography but I do try my best. I try to get a few pictures of each build but always seem to miss a few models at these shows. Fulton really is a great show with a nice vendor area.

[@garypankratz9352]

Great job!! Sorry I missed the show. Not advertised very well.

[@rj2571]

Thanks, Gary for stopping by and leaving a comment. Sorry to hear that you missed the show. They did say at the show that they are having this next year. November 24th, 2024.

[@garypankratz9352]

@@rj2571 Thanks RJ! See ya there.

[@unclesweetiesmodelworks]

Got you subbed. There's sure some great builds in your pics. I think I'd like to see some videos of you building!

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by leaving a comment and for subbing. It's greatly appreciated and I've subbed back. I've thought about making some videos on how I build. Maybe in the future I'll try some.

[@goforitpainting]

[@СергейМахнач-э4щ]

Its awesome! Fredns, suggest s site where l could buy these models cars, specifically American classics of 50-80🙏

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I wish I could help with places to buy models, but not knowing where you live it's difficult to help. I'm guessing you live outside of the United States. Maybe you can try eBay and find a seller that ships internationally?

[@markporcile6404]

What I need to know is where everyone is picking these custom wheels I’m new to the hobby and can’t find any custom wheels

[@rj2571]

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. I wish I could help more with aftermarket wheels for model cars, but I build trucks and aren't really up on all the aftermarket parts available for cars. But I can say there are A LOT of aftermarket parts available for model cars. Model Cars Magazine has a nice online forum. Maybe you can find some info there. Or you can always google 1/25 scale model car wheels, or whatever scale you build, and look through the results.

Had to mute the music after watching 2 minutes.🙉
