For anyone near Salt Lake City, the GSL
International Scale Model Convention is being held at the Sheraton Hotel in downtown SLC on May 1 & 2. The Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild Alumni Club will be hosting an exhibit and seminar featuring 22 former Guildsmen, including yours truly, and 30 1:12 scale model dream cars from GM's legendary contest. Hope some of you can make it. I am hoping there are some diecast vendors there.

I seriously doubt any diecast vendors will be there
I've been attending this event for many many years (and will this one too), and back in the day when I had a company that cast white metal automotive accessories, we were the only ones there with metal parts.
Folks who build model cars typically do not think of diecast cars and trucks as source material for their creations. I had many long conversations with Danbury back then about issuing some of their models as kits, but I only recall one happening that way and it was pre-finished.
Hope we get to meet there!

I live in the suburbs (Draper) and will try to make it.
