It weighs 35lbs. Parts of Basilio are from the radiator grill of a 1930's model international pickup truck which had been painted a few times druing its life. The hole is for the starting crank. The reds and yellows are from a Shell oil drum, used to transport lubricating grease to the Stillwater Mine in Columbus, Montana.

Miniature Show results

Last Friday November 9, we hosted our first miniature show. We had about 60 people attend the opening night reception which we thought was pretty good for our first time. Jared Shear, Aaron Cordell Johnson and others had some sales which is exciting for everyone. I'm pretty confident based on the buzz that was generated that we will do another miniature show again next year.
