N~8~Ball

Tomorrow is the show. Remember to set your clocks forward.

Hey Jeff The reason we changed the location Is 1) The roads around The Castle Shannon fire hall goofy with all of the rebuilding of route 51 And 2) The costs of the hall rental went up from last year Our new location is actually better Because it's Bigger and has better lighting, a full kitchen just like the other show had and we are actually saving money. Believe me you won't be disappointed

I had a hard time getting there, But I had a great time too, The show seemed to go by fast for some reason. Since I'm a member of the club, I bought three "personal favorite" trophies to have handed out. I wasn't looking but, I always find something I want or like. This time I found a great deal on four Danbury mint tow trucks. I love these local shows !!

looks great !!

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys also.

hey gang where can I find a digital version of model cars magazineis it something that upload it to my phone or PC Thanks

Only couple weeks to go now..

You did Reply Tim, So did Ed Shaver on an identical post I had also put in the "general discussion" page. I had put it there by mistake as it was mis categorized and must have gotten deleted. I actually found a local hobby shop that handles the magazine. Thanks for the help guys.

I'm going to start calling around this coming week to the local hobby & book stores. Come April I'm letting the subscription go. If & when I find someone who carries the magazine. It will give me an excuse to get out of the house.

Can anyone please tell me what natonal chain stores or hobby stores carry Model Cars Magazine? I live in western PA and im trying to find a store(s) I can just go buy this magazine in person. I love the magazine and forum !!! Long story short Im DONE with receiving damaged issues in the mail. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Vary nice close up pics !! The models look fantastic !!
