So, what did you guys get today or this week??? (in the modeling department)
My parents were really right when they said I was spoiled this year![:D] But hey, nothing wrong with that! Probably wont have to buy another kit until well, next Christmas! I think this was one of My best Cristmas’s!!![:D] I am a very happy child today!
here we have the models! And a DREMEL!!![party][party]
And some insparational material (Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers) and and Etch Mate!!!
Id like to thank My parents, grandparents and Aunts and Uncles. [:)]
nice addition to your stash John! some nice kits indeed! I went Fri and picked up a few kits for the Latin American group build and some paints I have been needing… the big present hasn’t been ordered yet, there’s been too much going on. The wife wants me to get something big so thinking about a gravity feed airbrush, maybe a Iwata HP-CS, maybe not…
As it is I already have about 21 kits in line to be built so I told her other kits for this GB and decals for them I really didnt want anymore plastic for now!
Understandable on the first two things Tim… been there a time or two, either low on cash or when my ex wife was around… but at least you have your third one to feel good about!
Merry Xmas to everyone! I need to go sleep off the tryptophan from the Turkey I had!
I got the following, AMT’s 66 Galaxie, their 32 Chrysler, their 28 Lincoln, Revell’s 1/32 AH-1G Cobra, and Cobra Companie’scockpit detail set for it, Dragon’s 1/35 OH-6 Helicopter, 3 books, American Muscle Cars, The Mustang, and Hemi Muscle cars. And one CD, and a Radio Shack gift certificate.

whoops, sorry to bring that up therriman. forgot.
NEway merry holidays to you all!!
Both my Sons and their wives announced that they are giving me more grandchildren next summer, one in June, one in July, numbers 2 & 3.
As far as gifts go I got a lot of clothes. I’ve lost over 60 pounds this year and needed them. I may be a Grandpa but I’m a jeans, t-shirt, sweatshirt kind of guy. I have enough models to last many years.
Happy for all of you that added to your stashes and wish you all a Happy New Year!
Im gettin ready to head back to the land of the big PX next month, so I just asked for some of Mom’s Christmas cookies this year. She came through with a big ole tin of them. She must have been baking for days. Some times its just the simple things in life!
Nothing in the modelling line, like many of you I also have enough to keep me going for years! However I did get plenty of books and wine and an antique Chinese bookcase
I did pretty good this year. I got a couple PL Enterprise kits, a flexi-shaft tool with hanger, a cordless Dremel, and the third season of the original Star Trek boxed set.
I got a house!!
Well, the one my wife wanted, anyway.
But it’s got a study (for me and my models!!) and a sewing room (for her!) and a two car garage!! Woohoo!
Had Christmas dinner for all the family at our place this year - great fun.
From my wonderful family who whole-heartedly support my addiction, I got an Alpha Models F4U Corsair electric RC plane and the 5 DVD box set of the Matrix movies. Oh, plus the obligatory sweaters and ties. Up here in WI those sweaters are going to come in handy! LOL!
As far as models go, all I got was a GC to Hobby Lobby.
Other high points include:
Yogurt covered pretzels (one of my food vices)
the Rush in Rio DVD
A magazine rack for my FSM’s (really more for my wife I guess)
Season 1 of Alias
on the down side:
2 copies of the Phantom Menace (as if one wasn’t almost too many)
A compressor to go wih my new Paasche H airbrush, a cordless dremel with all sorts of accessories, 25pds w/ quad, flakvierling, hanomag and grief. The one that put a lump in my throat was from my step-son the Navy JAG…a sweat shirt that said “Navy DAD”
But the biggest present came from the INS when I FINALLY (after 36 months of fighting the bureaucrats) got my green card.
This year, I actually got several new kits for the first time in more than a decade. Amazingly enough, these came from a friend of mine at church, who drove me to my LHS and waited while I picked out three kits:
1/72 scale Dragon Leopard 2A6
Two versions of the Dragon 1/72 scale Panzer Jager.
Aside from that, my sister gave me two reference books that she was able to get from her Thrift Shop that she works for. I also got a Laser Level for my construction work, and a framed photo of my Old Man and his second wife. My brothers-in-law gave us grocery store gift cards, cash, (All of which went to the wife; God forbid it be used to support my Hobby!) and from her nieces, I got a Barbeque sauce set and a photo album/stationary set that came in fancy box for holding photos. Not bad little things. Maybe I’ll use the box for holding all my photos of m models. I already have some pork ribs to use the BBQ sauce on! [C=:-)]
Man! The only one who supports my Hobby isn’t even Family! Shakes head [V][:(]
