Right on James, I think you will enjoy the visit. Also I recommend the Savoy Museum that's close to Fusion. Gotta drive that far might as well go to both!

Nice p/u. I'm more of a WWII fan, probably because of comics like SGT Rock, War Is Hell, Sgt Fury and His Howling Commandos. The Unknown Soldier, etc that I used to get as a kid on the AF base in the early 70's. Watching episodes of Combat helped too.

Yes, several guys in my IPMS club have talked about those. They prefer WWII also.

Great haul as I'm watching this video, I'm with you on those 1-10 dollar kits, if you can get good wheels/tires the camper shell even etc....Well worth some good parts! That is very cool you have access to hobby shops, I have a Michaels here in town and one about 20 minutes out that has steadily dropped what they carry, I think both had no more than like 6 kits my last visit. Have a Hobby Lobby that has a better selection but it doesn't change very often, the selection etc. Nice pick ups though!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I totally agree, well worth it for the parts! Yea, Michaels dosen't have much and the one by me dosen't carry models now. Would be nice if Hobby Lobby would switch them out more often.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]
