Scale Hobby Enthusiasts Marketplace

Herb Deeks of Herb Deeks Models has created a new hobby show called Scale Hobby Enthusiasts Marketplace. The first show was April 2018. From what I understand, the show is to be renamed RollsFloatsAndFlys which I think is actually a shorten version of Herb's original hobby show, "If It Rolls, Floats or Flys".

Herb Deeks (Scale Hobby Enthusiasts Marketplace) next show is coming soon: Sunday, September 30, 2018. Doors open for the public at 9AM and continues until 3PM. See flyer above

If you reside in the SoCal area, please come down and check the show out. Last show had a good attendance, and hobbyvendor did quite well.

Oh, hobbyvendor will be there with many new (pre-owned) kits. Also will have decals and other items. See You There! ! !
