DumpyDan Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I use to go to this Sale years ago when I spent my winters in Myrtle Beach. If you can go to this show well worth the drive to Salisbury, 2 thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW93 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I was able to set up today for the swap tomorrow, hope to see some of you there. I'll have a sign at my table with the Model Cars Magazine logo, stop by and say hello! Edited February 17, 2018 by VW93 wording Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always enjoy seeing what others are building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is interest among the attendees there is a possibility of having an area where builders can display their models. The only thing is that they would have to police/supervise the area themselves as Allen has a very limited staff to help him run the show.

VW93 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 Did fairly well at the show today, sold a good amount of kits and picked up a few. Got to meet Mike999 from the forum for the first time and saw Mikemodeler who I haven;t seen in awhile. All in all a good time. Next years show is February 16th, 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 It was a good show, packed in tight as usual! I scored a model from Frank, he was a busy guy for sure! I stopped by a couple of Hobby Lobby's and a Michaels' on the way home, did see a couple of guys that were at this swap meet, still looking for bargains! LOL~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I hate that I missed you guys. Frank, the guy helping you said that you had gone outside when I came by. I told him to tell you that I came by. Of course I probably walked by your table four times before I saw your sign, oops. I ended up talking to another truck builder for some time, and wasn't able to get back because I had some where that I had to be. I did score a Transtar II kit though.

Mike999 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) (I tried to post this many times and kept getting a 404 Error. Seems to work now...) Did great at this show today, and it was a blast meeting VW93! This was about a 4-hour drive for me but absolutely worth it. Will inventory my haul tomorrow. But I got some things I've been trying to find forever, at less than eBay prices with no shipping to pay. If you're looking for parts, this is really a great show. Some vendors have every part neatly organized and bagged, down to tail-lights and bumpers. Others just bring in boxes full of random part-built kits, glue-bombs and such. Since I wanted to be at the show bright & early, I drove up last night and got a hotel room. For anyone else thinking of doing that next year, there's a Holiday Inn Express and a Marriott Courtyard right off of Interstate-85, at the first Salisbury exit (Innes St.). It's a five-minute drive from there to the Civic Center, where the show is held. Edited February 18, 2018 by Mike999 error-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to take a walk occasionally as I threw out my back and needed to try and get it back to semi normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
