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...
