xxxxxx Welcome to NNL East
The Tri-State Scale Model Car Club welcomes all model car builders to the 24th Annual NNL East (tm), the East Coast's largest and most prestigious model car event. The show will be held Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM at the PAL Building, 1 PAL Drive , Wayne, New Jersey. Please note this is our third year at the new location! Do not go to Parsippany!

We are pleased with our new location at the PAL Building in Wayne, New Jersey. The show has approximately double the space that we had at the old hall. The model display room double the size of the old one, boasting 100 display tables and huge aisles. There will also be our special "Cottage Industry Exposition" and Scale Marketplace, which will occupay TWO halls . The new facility has plenty of on-site parking. The on-premises caterer has a wide selection, serving both breakfast and lunch, with a great room to eat and enjoy talking with your fellow modelers.  The lobby has an ATM machine.

What is NNL East?
An NNL event is a non-competitive gathering of model car builders and enthusiasts. The day's goals are to display our work, share tips and information, meet other car modelers, and most importantly making new friends and having a good time! NNL East is not a contest as there is no formal judging.

Instead, People's Choice Awards are presented, lending to the casual atmosphere of an NNL event. This year's special themes are: " 1995: Back To The Future",  Yes, we are silly enough to celebrate the 25th anniversary of 1985, a trying time for car enthusiasts. Any car , truck or other vehicle from the 1980s is fair game. Any car that raced during the 1985 season would be cool too. Or even any kit that came out in 1985. Use your imagination! The subtheme is  "Pickup Lines -- What's The Utes?", which includes any pickup truck, Aussie Ute or ElCamino / Ranchero car or phamtom thereof ! Stock, race, custom or beater. Have some fun!

Peoples Choice Awards will be presented as follows:

Best In Show -- The John Slivoski Award
Best Junior Model  (age 16 and younger)
Best "1995: Back To The Future" Vehicle
Best "Pickup Lines -- What's The Utes?" Vehicle

Special Web Site Award!
This special category is not on the NNL East flier. Only announced here on the Official NNL East 2010 Web Site!
Revell 1932 Fords -- The 5 Window Coupe & Sedan kits

Special Award - The Joe Cavorley Award

Door prizes will be given away throughout the day.

All makes, materials, vintages, types and scales of model cars, motorcycles, trucks and fire apparatus as well as automotive related dioramas and projects under construction are welcome and encouraged for display. Bring your work to share with your fellow modelers on our 100 display tables.
