Grand Valley Model Car Club (GVMCC)
What's New
Club Challenge Build 2022 FINISHED
The club challenge was a common kit build - the newly re-released AMT Chevy II station
wagon, either the curbside kit or the full kit with all the extra parts. Three of us intended to add
a resin cast model of a soap box derby racer that appeared in the AMT 1968 Chevrolet El
Camino kit.
The results were shown at the Toronto Model Car Show on September 24, 2022. The models
are descrbed HERE

See the page HERE describing our participation in this years online build event.
Club Challenge Build 2020
It looks like the 2020 challenge will be to complete a Porsche vehicle of your choice. Results
will be posted HERE
We are also going to track how many models get finished, starting on March to the end of the
COVID-19 crisis (whenever that will be). See the galleries for these.
