More from the collectors' weekend
After some fun times swapping stories and checking out 1/43 models with the guys on Saturday, everyone headed over to the toy show on Sunday. While most all of the vendors were there, crowds were very slim.
Here are some pics from Sunday's show:

Sergio sent along some pre-production samples of the latest Goldvarg releases. But keep in mind...these aren't done yet. He's still tweaking.

A holy grail model for many. But the asking price kept it out of reach for me!

Here are some more close-up shots of Jeff Lane's new white metal line called Second City Motors. The first is this Ford Ranch Wagon in an early state (notice there's no windshield yet). Jeff says there are a few more tweaks needed to meet his standards and then expect to see it in several trim and color variations.
