Went back today (two day show/swap meet) Bought 3 more 1/87 trucks. White Road commander Single drive day cab. Ford Aeromax/Louisville Single drive with sleeper, and another Areomax/Louisville dual drive day cab . A built HO Scale building for $3.00

Model rail road /swapmeet at the fair grounds . ended up getting some decent deals ! One Vendor had loose freight cars (1/87 scale) $2.00 each with about 60 or so to choose from, Another vendor (Female) Had freight cars for $3.00 or 6 for $10.00. another Vendor had ho scale semis with trailers $8.00 Or 3 For $20.00. Ended up spending $52.00 between the three vendors. Ended up buying 11 Freight cars + two cabooses from the lady vendor. 3 trucks from the other , and some $2.00 Freight cars as well. Semi trucks: Perkins furniture IH S-Series, Rollins GMC General/trailer, and a Mack with shipping container trailer

Not today but the last two days. Bought 3 in their boxes Tyco Freight cars, Old dutch Bottom dump hopper, Popsicle box car, and wood pulp freight car. All three with their less than $2.00 price tag from K-mart! The others are loose: Two New Haven box cars, Hienz 57 Condola , MSL bottom drop open top Hopper, Frisco Box car, and one other box car. Paid $3.50 for each.....

Yes the bottom part in that picture

sadly no as there is a middle piece so they are one part. The springs mount to both top and bottom of the suspension which the top a arms are also one part with part of the strike plate ( Floor jack Jacking point) The bottom A arms have a flat part of the strike plate between them.

Last year I got the idea to do a Tribute build of the Kenner Smash Up Derby cars (Original set), But with a twist being ready to enter the derby. The AMT '57 Ford was bought at last years US 127 Garage sales . Luck struck Again this year with the Revell '57 Nomad ! Lighting altered the colors a bit The Fords hood/doors/trunk are actually a purplish color, and the nomad's door's/hood is sub lime Green. which is a close match to the Kenner parts.

FedEx Call: Hobby lobby order ( Ohio Tax Holiday special) Three oversize 1/18 display cases . These work for most 1/25-1/25 Semi models, and two packs of Evergreen plastic sheet . Sadly one of the three Display cases is busted, But hobby lobby will replace for free.. Ohio tax holiday runs from August 1-14th, and Hobby lobby had free shipping for order's over $50.00 so...........................

Found this same kit issue at a Garage Sale $10 open but not built

depends on which kit it's from. If it's from the kit that has the opening hood, trunk, and doors then yes. if it's the '56 Del ray then no.

Looking for the lower A Arms from a Revell '57 Chevy/Nomad (yes the nearly unbuildable) model with the opening door's , hood, Trunk/tailgate.

There at least was one seller in the Jr.Fair building with decent prices. I did manage to get a couple from him, (Revell HRM '57 Nomad & Moebius '71 Ford Ranger) Paid $35 for both together Nomad $15, Ford Ranger $20

Found ONE seller at the Garage sales set up at Van Wert Fair grounds with decent prices on some of his items. Spent $35.00 at his stall ... Bought a Revell Hot Rod Magazine "Custom" '57 Nomad kit. Painted/lightly started $15.00 and a Open non-started Complete Moebuis '71 Ford Ranger pickup $20.00 Not a bad deal really. Seen other kit's at different vendors such as the '72 GMC Jimmy, AMT '57 Chevy But $35.00 for open recent issues that I can find at Hobby lobby for cheaper??

While the US 127/US 30 Garage sales start tomorrow , some were already open.( Van Wert Fair Grounds) Quite a few had Model kit's , But either they wanted full retail or even more for them! AMT Rat Fink Trailer kit $75.00 (bought from Ollie's for $20! Several recent issued kit's $35.00, and they were opened. One had models and Die cast that try's to charge a $2.00 "fee to pick one up to check it, And he also wants full retail for his kit's! The guy is there every year with the same things! I thought the reason for a garage sale was to sale things at a decent price, Not FULL BLOWN RETAIL Or Above!

To many to list all of them that I like. initial D, Girls und Panzer, Gils und Panzer Der Film, Full metal Panic!, Sailor Moon. Just to name a few! Screen shots From Girl Und Panzer anime series.

Flea Market: $10- AMT Transtar 4070 a missing only 1 part. Aurora Mercer race about with original box/instructions, and not built complete- $5.00!

There was six of us The oldest Linda (1961), Earl Jr (1963), Virginia (1965) Me (1967 Then an 8 year dry spell. Mike(1975) and lastly Patricia (1977). Earl jr was the brother that was the abusive one. Virginia passed from Cancer in 2009. Besides I was the Black sheep unwanted Child in all this.. My Family dynamics was bad for me! But then I also got the same treatment at school as well as my dad's mother! No escape from it till after high school!

Allowance? Well I got one when I was growing up, which didn't last long with a "Little Brother tax" . My older brother was sort of a bully to me when growing up. Also done some things /forced that shouldn't had happened. All that got swept under the "rug" by my Parents!

Years ago when the presidential aircraft at the then Dayton Air Force Museum were housed on the wright patterson air base. I was thin enough to walk through them , and had to watch out for static electric shock! The space that one tours through them is only about 19 inches wide!

I got one of those "dad" text needing help..... Yah, my Dad passed away in September of 2013!!!

Got one for CARshiieeld:Uurrgent nottiice.....And yes that's how they wrote it!

Got a legit Temu email along with this "other one" Confiimation Teemu- Urrgent nottice deliivery 0fyour packaage.........

And now one from Wally Mark???

Got another one just an hour ago Slate Firm Insurence , and Krouger storres I'm guessing that those were supposed to be State Farm & Kroger.....

More likely a QC issue.. I have the '69 galaxie kit . and used the white stripes on a semi truck kit. those didn't have an issue. The Rat Fink trailer decals (I have Three sets) so far none have had an issue. The Miller beer one's not wanting to stick now that was an issue! Round2 did replace the Payhauler 350 decals, the second set worked without any issues..

I still have trouble with my spelling as I tend to spell words by how they sound. I also have trouble with grammar as well due to a Learning disability. Which still gives me issues with that and math skills, Fractions don't compute well in my head. I understand the fraction just not multiplying them!
