1865, a Troopers from Company F, 1st Texas Motor Corps waits to move forward.  A FHQ adaptation of Harry Turtledove's Guns of the South.  The Chinese produced CJ bikes and Kooblekars in componet parts were the largest vehicles that could fit through the time portal.  The Motor Corps was created to provided fast movement of highly armed troops to seize and hold strategic ground on the way to Washington as the Union Army collapsed under the pressure of the Confederate Forces armed with AK47s.  Like the AK, the CJ  and Kooblekar were robust,  simplistic in operation; basic maintenance could be taught to the indigenous troops.  This was great fun as we shot these right across the street from the office!  Some really interesting exhibitions of driving and rubbernecking while we were at it! 

The Lil'Flying Tiger Ready for the Nordicfest Parade.

The Libby Model Club campaigned the Rimrock Plastic Model Club 3rd Annual Show in Billings, Montana.  We entered four catagories and placed in three, taking 1st in with Gary Smith's 1-1 scale plastic .50 Cal MG on a tripod and my PT boat diorama.  Will took 2nd place with his AFV.  We also took two trophies for Most Detailed and Most Unique.  Great show!

Shop Views

Here is the latest, the CORGI rack along with the Cheap but Cool clothing items. 

I can get any Model Master, Floquil, or Testors paints on order.  Order by Wednesday and they are here by Friday.   Same for rockets, model kits and many other model supplies. 

Got the Spitfire up after the Me-109.   Check out the AMT trucks!  My distributer has a few old stock!

Airsoft guns are still hot with a lot of talk of starting an Airsoft Association.  Airsoft takes about a week to arrive, but I try to have some good shooters on hand and can order a wide varriety.   Local shooters say the shop prices are good compared to internet shoping as there are no extra charges AND you can test fire your gun! 

Flying Tiger Display at club show at the Dome Theater.
