KathieB Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Hi Ron, and welcome to the forum. Your project sounds like great fun. The model car in your other post is well done. If the quality is the same for the rest of the project, you'll have tour buses stopping at your front gate so folks can tour the back yard, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. 2Bscale Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) Thank you for the warm welcome and encouragement's. I'm starting to figure out how to transverse the Forums a little at a time. I've Lots of questions already. ahaahhaaa. It's all sooo gooood ! One thing I'm very nervous about is throwing lots of money at the hobby and then regretting some of the purchases. I've done that in the past..hehehehe. So much to learn on such an old hobby I'm finding out. But that's half the fun.....RESEARCH. Could use some help though. On a Quality Catalog for furniture and miscellaneous. Higher end stuff. Or links to TRUSTY on line venders. Thanks again, Edited February 21, 2019 by 2Bscale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
