I will confess, I have been not been doing a lot of modeling lately and putting stuff on this blog has been almost non-existent. I have done a few things here and there. I've helped out at a local train show last weekend and got a batch of custom cars done for a client. I also traveled down to a hobby shop down in North Carolina (almost 3 hrs) to get some of their half off sale since they are going out of business at the end of the year. The Hobby Barn in Wilson, NC is probably the biggest in the southeast but they have no internet presence. The owner is retiring and they were always worth a yearly trip to. They also discounted a decent percent to make their prices very reasonable. I was a little saddened to hear they are closing the doors at the end of this month. My son and I took the trip last Friday and spent some major cash.

The half off sale attracts people from all over.
Here are a few pics of the custom cars I weathered up for a client in Texas:

Sorry to hear about the Hobby Barn closing down. It's been a few years since I was there last, and understand they have had some flooding problems in the recent past. Hate to see these shops close up. Freight cars look good, nice job. All the best, mike-g.
ReplyDeleteStunning weathering. Love the Graffiti.
