I know its still a little while off (not really, this years gone by so quick!) I was just wondering what kits and supplies and what nots everyone wants this Christmas. Heres mine, I only expect 2 of the kits at the most. lol, It was alot longer, but I decided I would have to cut it down some.[:)]

Models

AFV Club 1/35 Royal Australian Armoured Corps Mk5/1 Centurion (Vietnam version)

Academy MRC 1/48 CH-46 Sea Knight (Marines ‘Bullfrog’ version)

Tamiya 1/35 M26 Armoured Recovery Vehicle (NOT the M25 ‘Dragon Wagon’

Tamiya 1/48 T34/76, with the Verlinden Productions complete interior set

Supplies

Earth Tone pastels set + a couple of greys, a white, and if not included in set a black.

0.25 to 0.75mm Sheet Styrene

So what do you guys want?

I’d suggest thinking about the Hobby Boss kit. It comes with a complete interior in the box, and at about $22 - $24 ($Aus) it’s way cheaper than the basic Tamiya kit (mid $30 range).

OK, is it a good kit?

I’m really hoping for some red Chucks and a new leopard skin Speed-O to replace my other one that was destroyed in an unfortunate unicycle accident.

Maybe some socks, too.

Oh yeah and a bunch of models.

And some chocolate and some sausage and cheese in one of those big sampler boxes.

And some models.

Maybe a new lunchbox with a thermos.

And some models too.

More time with family and at the bench

More shelf space

A model with wings

The FenderBender by Ted Herman and found at Ausfwerks.

While I don’t actually own one, I have read nothing but praise for it. From what I’ve seen available it is by far the best available.

And note that I have no affiliation with Ausfwerks other than being forum buddies with Ted and Jeff, and receive zero compensation other than the satisfaction of promoting their wares.

I’m no expert, but ‘Etchmate’ is pretty good isn’t it?

It’s good, but I want a Fenderbender.
