I had a Hobby Lobby candle lamp and decided to use it for a mini build. These are quarter scale figures and include clowns, high wire act, lion tamer and more. This was a fun and easy build.

I found some new old stock at my favorite storage place. I also found a new supplier at the Bishop Show. These are a few of my finds. I won't keep this gallery up for a long time as I may decide to sell some of the kits.

This album is for future build ideas and fun finds. It is mostly to link from the forum as a reference point.

These are some of the goodies I picked up at the 2013 Aztec Wholesale Show. There were over 100 suppliers. I thought the dealer turnout was a little light, but maybe it was just from my head spinning.

I picked up this shop at a yard sale. It is a scratch build and is nearly 40 years old. It was setup as a ladies clothing shop. As you can see by the "before" pictures, it needs some help.

I was sitting in my office when it hit me that this would be a perfect "Little Shop of Horrors" flower shop. I am in the middle of three other builds, but I want to strike while the iron is hot.

I decided to take this craigslist find and make something for my daughter's 21st birthday. I am going to turn this into a country veterinary office like those that are so common here in Central Indiana.

I like working on multiple projects. If you get stumped on one project, you can easily move to another. This is my first attempt at half scale.

Since I don't have a blog, I thought I would post some of my Bishop and 3BM finds here. There were a lot of great booths at both shows. I have listed the company where possible. Some of the items were picked up at the wholesale show. I have listed the maker or manufacturer in those cases.

These are kits off of CL and other places that I have purchased while traveling. I think the "hunt" is almost as much fun as the build.

This was a Christmas present for my father. It was a Woodline roombox from 1979, so it had some challenges. I needed to go half scale based on the car that HAD to be part of it.

The garage with the loft is almost identical to a RL garage we had on our horse farm when I was a teen. The real life car, a 1996 Corvette Grand Sport, my father purchased new. It was #342 out of 1000 special editions made. Unfortunately his arthritis forced him to sell it a few years ago.

The car pics on the walls are based on some of the cars my folks had through the years.
