I live in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. As far west in Canada as you can get...From my 5th floor condo balcony I can see the Olympic Mtns of the USA, that is on a clear day. When its cloudy I see rain and lots of it and that is when I paint figures or model cars. Getting to this Island costs about $75.00 CDN car and driver. Getting off the Island the same. This Saturday I am van pooling with 5 other plastic gearheads for a trip to Vancouver (the mainland) to attend "28th Annual Auto Modelrama". As I like to include figures with my cars, reaction is fun to watch. ...............Cheers Eh!
