Oberlindes Sol LIC	22 Apr 2019 2:14 p.m. PST
I think that the last time I bought a miniature was in late August of last year, so about 8 months ago. I bought a set of rules within the last several weeks, and decided not to throw away many things that will surely be useful as bits to stick on scratch-built buildings and vehicles. I collected some small free carpet samples from Home Depot to use as crops -- do they count?
FusilierDan	22 Apr 2019 2:22 p.m. PST
