Next up is all of the goodies I got. I went with $100.00, and some stuff for slae or trade, and come home with this, and $14.00 ahead. I have to take pics of all of the contents, alot of it is good for parts. The Nashua box, is loaded with train stuff, cars, trestles, etc. The Fellow box the blue bag, and the other box are full of HO buildings that I got all for $10.00. I also scored a Hot Wheels Legends set for 20, this set has the Challenger1, SWC 41 Willy's, The Black Widow 57 Chevy, and D.Gurney's Indy racer in it. also picked up 15 more old issues of Model Roader from the 50's, and a couple of detailing books. Best one was a vintage Revell kit of the Weekly Herald News, Mint, and a Walthers Valley Citrus warehouse, and a Lifelike Business Center kit. Also added a load of 1/87 vehiclces. Gonna take me a few days to sort and inventory everything.

I wished there were more 1/24 scale models there for me to take advantage of. Oh well, maybe next year! Here's pics from today's show at Fargo's Plastic on the Prairie. The Blue and Red Galaxies were built by a club in Winnipeg and grace the cover of this month's Model Cars Magazine issue. Way cool to see them in person! There's 101 pics total, and still uploading as I post this! http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b349/mhoekstra/POP%20SHOW%202009/

I build the Weekly Herald News. It goes together pretty easy. The front was a little tricky. The pieces on the sides just above the stone confused me. I changed the front door area on mine a little bit.

Could of used it, as I got home Sat nite at 1:30 went to bed at 2:30, and was up at 5:00, and at the show at 6:45. Got to be a long day. I think I sat down twice the whole time. Always prowling for goodies, which I found. Edited by Mercman, Oct 20 2009, 09:53 PM.
