A happy-camper weekend..
Well, I didn't get to build anything nice this weekend, but I did manage to get to that show. I saw some trully beautiful models and dioramas, some of which were featured in various magazines I've read in the last several months, so it was quite astounding to see them in real life. Let me tell you, whole new perspective. The models that were on display were nothing short of spectacular, and left me quite eager to build build build...
My personal highlight was the vendor room, where I scored some very good deals:
Tamiya Modern US accessory set for $8 (all prices Canadian dollars),
Dragon sd.kfz.141/3 Flampanzer III (f-1) $20
Revell/Italeri Katyusha Rocket Launcher with figs and field gear $10
Revell Germany Leopard 1 a1a1-a1a4 $10
Italeri M-110 A2 (203mm) Heavy self propelled gun. $10
All in all, a very good bargain. All kits are in 1/35 scale, and are in perfect condition, so it was quite a successful little hunt! Suffice to say, I was thrilled.
If anyone knows anything about any of these kits, please feel free to comment/suggest/paste references. I'm a little worried about the dragon indie link tracks.
Anything interesting happen to anyone else on the weekend?
