The swap meet there has been going on for years and is one of my favorite meets. Lots of kits, Hot Wheels, die-casts, parts, great people, and camaraderie.
Nice job on the Double Dragster kit as I have one in the works on my bench right now and I should drag out my airbrush someday as I haven't used it in years.
I was at the DuPage Swap Meet in Wheaton, Illinois today and it was a great show, great guys, and great food as we stopped at the Tilted Kilt for some chow afterwards. I picked up the new Hudson kit for a friend of mine and a re-issue of Monograms '30 Ford Coupe for myself. I had to curb my spending as I'll be in Toledo in two weeks.
To date I have NEVER been on evil-bay and from a lot of the stories that I have heard over the years, it seems like I'm not really missing anything. Seems to work for me.
Yeah Mike I usually make that show both in Feb. & Sept. and I'll be there this Sunday. Hoping to curb my spending there as I'll be at the Toledo NNL & swap meet next month also. The DuPage show has always been one of my favorites as I see a lot of builders that I have met over the past 35 years.
