Ola Guys

Well I`m kinda as happy as a little kid with a lolly pop at the moment. Just ordered something that is a candy for all Dio builders.
A guy here in Holland is more or less cleaning his Scrapbox and some truely brilliant stuff is in it. Here are some pics with all that will be send to me in a box:





All that stuff from plastic figures to a lot of resin dio stuff for 65 Euro shipping included.

I`m haaappy

Looks like you ought to be pretty pleased. Just the resin things I can make out are worth that.

Good catch.

UPDATE: I walked around flea markets in Brown County, In for five hours in 95 degree heat Sturday just knowing I would find something. I kept telling the wife to look out for a Sherman book by a guy named "Hunnicutt." No luck. I think if I would have found it and bought it for $2.00 my wife would have sold it on EBay after she found out what they were going for. Still looking...

Ola Guys

Thanks for the comments.
Yeah I tell you with what I earn nowadays (and that isn`t that much) I really thought and thought, looking at it 20 times thinking to myself is it really worth the 65 Euro. But then I thought when looking at it the 21st time that only the figures probably already would end up in that region. And that was enough for me to buy the whole box.

Good for you and good for him I agree with the statement of "one man's trash is another man's treasure." I purchased a bag of junk parts off of someone on eBay for a whopping $5 once. It contained parts for the old Revell M4A1E8 and Aurora Long Tom and M109 kits that I was missing from some vintage kits I owned. That $5 filled out three incomplete kits I owned.
