I cruise the yard sales a lot, and sometimes i find kits and other thing, well this morning i found this! a book by this guy named Shepard Paine
How to build Dioramas. So i talk to the lady and she said it belong to her husband, So out the the kindness of my heart i offer her $.50 for the book and she agreed. So i now own another copy of this book.

What a bargain! I paid full price for my shep paine dio's book!

Our hobby shows here are tantamount to yard sales... with all the ppl selling 2nd hand stuff... I've picked up about 4 Airfix 54mm Scottish Regiment Waterloo figures for about R15 (+-$2) each... other than that it's mostly odds and sods...

Harrison,

Flea Markets are also good for that.
