It’s that time of year! Whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah, Boxing Day, Kwanzaa, Festivus, or any other holiday celebration in December, you certainly have an idea of what you would be grateful to receive. So let’s see those lists! I’ll start:
I’ll probably catch some grief for the airbrush but I want to try it as I think it could be good for gloss coats, full body work, etc and be a time saver. I have 3 other air brushes of good quality so this is only an experiment. The Corsair will be a Boyington build, paired up with a P-40 he flew, and the Fletcher will look nice escorting my Missouri.
I don’t think I’m on the naughty list this year, so fingers crossed!
As a change of pace from the lump of coal I usually get, I’d like Revell’s '57 Bel Air (but no one seems to have it in stock) and the ICM 1914 fire truck:
Well, Santa brought my family a different vehicle so that’s my Christmas,Fathers’ Day, and Birthday presents for the next several years. If I had to realistically, I’d want the 1/200 Fletcher Destroyer with the catapult or the Christmas Carol figure busts by John Dennett and unrealistically I’d love to try one of those 1/200 scale ship kits. I can’t complain though because now we have a reliable vehicle and my stash is too large anyway.
I’m generally scolded by the family because I want nothing, hah!
My very favorite Christmas presents were my first PC ( pentium 100!) and a toaster. Yup, a toaster.
This year I’m requesting a new lamp because I’m tired, like literally, my eyes can’t take the interior penumbra anymore!
I’d love a painting booth but I don’t have the room.
Other than that a wooden vessel probably, like a good one, that I won’t dare touch before the end of the decade. Or maybe just a Nina, Pinta, santa Maria. Don’t know which brand.
Plastic? Very curious to try my hand at a fairey garnet, a B17, a 1/32 mosquito. Again sadly, too big!
Tools? Oh! Oh! A Dremel! Now that would be useful! Gonna pitch the idea, if it’s not already too late.
