Well im just asking but what did everyone get for christmas. I got a M60A1 with reactive armor a 88mm gun from tamiya an R/C tiger I and a Sdkfz. Oh I also got the movie set battlefront Europe
Cool stuff! I got Tamiya’s M1A2…
I got an !/48 AM B-25 C/D , A 1/35 M3 Scout car by Revell and The Altlas of World War II , and an etchmate
Non modelling includes a Sony handycam and my favorite a World Series Baseball signed by Jeff Suppan.
Tamiya Pershing, Band of Brothers DVD, cool Osprey and Concord ref books.
Blank looks.
A tube of glue and some “filler cement” by testors, my first Airbrush which as you can imaging I was extremely excited about, some Barnes and bobles gift cards, Which may go towards the purchase of model related books and some extra cash which Im using to order DML’s new Stug III G early. Needless to say, I was quite happy.
1/35 M-42 Duster (from Tamiya) - I bought it for myself. I’ve wanted it for a long time, could not find it anywhere, lost so many bids on Ebay, but I accidentally ran across one, so I had to get it for myself. It was damn expensive I must say.
As for non-modelling gifts, I received:
M-9 Beretta and a Tag Heuer Watch from my wife. Company of Men PC game from my brother. Lots of wine and other misc. stuff.
Santa’s been really good to me this year. Merry X-Mas!
Besides a wonderful week of vacation in Paradise, I arrived home today to find a package waiting for me with the Miniart T-70M and two sets of Lionroar PE. Merry Christmas!
As a gift to myself i got the Accurate Minitures P-39Q and some decals from squadron. Also managed to win a AEF EAAK set on ebay and used some Christmas cash that I got to buy a Tamiya AAVP7A1.
Company of Men? Never heard of it. Are you sure its not Company of Heroes? Now that’s a good game.
Yeap, that’s the one!
Dragons 1/35 King Tiger (Battle of the Bulge) 6254 and their set of Panzer Granadiers Kharkov 1943, i also got a nice wooden case for my modelling tools and set of Xuron tools for cutting all those little etch parts of the dragon frets, [:P]
I also got some PJs and a shirt…and some DVDs …and Brothers in Arms PC game… [:P]
The only model I got came from my 6 year old grandson - a 21st Century 88mm Flak 36/37 that he picked out and paid for himself.
As far as tanks go, my wife got me the new Dragon Panther Ausf. G smartkit! woo hoo!!! [8D] [:D]
only model was a tamiya m1025 and also some money for spending down here in florida.
You bugger.
I doubt there will ever be a chance my better half buys me a firearm. Sometimes I think she just ‘tolerates’ my liking for them. She certainly didn’t seem pleased when an FAL showed up last week. Neither is she pleased that I keep a pistol loaded in a drawer in the bed.
Couple of jumpers, shirts, $100 voucher for Omaha Steaks, two copies of “Encyclopaedia of tanks and AFVs” (From different people), nothing too drastic. Nothing model-related, which is just as well: I’ve enough of a backlog as it is.
NTM
I ended up getting a Paasche VL AB and Dragon’s 1/35 Bergepanzer Tiger (P) seen here…
And I bought myself the Tamiya M4A3 Sherman 105mm Howitzer… found it for 1/2 price at LHS. [:)]
Good year IMO. [8D]
I got trumperters 1/16 T-34, a tauras PT-1911,and a stainless steel fastener kit for the car I’m restoring from my wife. And 500 rounds of ammo from my son. I also got an extra day off from work, we had know runs today!
Dragon’s Panzer I A, Panzer IV C, Marder II and Kleiner [:D]
I got a 1/35 ISU-152 by Italeri (Zvesda) Woo!
Now, to buy upgrade kits…
