Subject: Scratchbuilding inspiration!
I was at the local model club's annual show the other day, and there was a small 'dealers' room - mostly people selling off extra kits, from what I saw... and one guy with two big boxes of extra kit parts, mostly from car kits! Five bucks got me four ziplocks of random plastic parts - fodder for years of all sorts of scratchbuilding! There's lots of bits for my expanding 15mm industrial scenery, FT ships & stations, and whatever else I can dream up! I know zip about the guts of cars, but I got a lot of engine parts, underside bits, piping, and other things - under a new coat of paint and in an odd location, where the bits actually come from becomes irrelevant anyway. Keep an eye out for a model club show in your area - or buy one of the larger scale car kits cheap, just for the parts...
