here are some pics from the show...

just a tiny fraction of what was on display...

these are things that peaked my interest...

they may not appeal to all...

this first diorama...

I took a lot of pics of...

I bought all 3 of these pieces unpainted...

they were $25 each...

I liked the way these were painted...

so...I took a lot of pictures as a reference to paint mine...

please excuse this first post as it might appear repetitive...

most of the other pics are just one off and not duplicates of the same item...

For the ones you purchased, how did you get them home (since I believe you were flying)?

hehehe...

you have a good memory...

as I did fly...
and didn't want to pay $35 for an extra bag with American...
Nicholas said he would take everything I bought back to New Hampshire on his van and mail them to me...
I think he was a little ticked that I bought so much as he was pressed on room traveling...
I bought 7 buildings...
some were pretty good sized...

the ones in the first 3 posts...
I think Matt made them...
the price was too good to pass up...

can he mail them to you and you paint them for me please?....^&grin...

Wayne...

yes...they are foam...

very good size too...

will look really good with a nice paint job...

I believe they were made originally distributed and or made by Matt and Hobby Bunker...

but I may be wrong...

they were really cheap at $25 each...

will make a great backdrop piece...

If you want me to paint them, then you're in trouble!

I think one year I purchased too much and Shannon was kind enough to take them back and send them to me after the Show.
