Car Boot Sale again … yeah … and Fischer Technik

Sunday, September 20th, 2009

Wow … what a weekend. Saturday I’ve been at a local car boot sale and brought bags of stuff (a couple of tank kits, a plane, a Billing Boat Kit …) and then afterwards I went with some friends of the Fischer Technik Club NL to a convention of the FTCommunity in Erbes-Büdesheim which was for the first time organised by Knobloch GmbH, a company dedicted to Fischer Technik.

I was most impressed by the large models … a crane made out of static parts, which was 3 times as tall as the builder D. Kutsch (easily!), a freefall rollercoaster and “flying Fischer Technik”. Thanks a lot folks for this nice day!
