Way to go!!!!!!!   I'm really glad for you two!

I received Future Weapons Season I & II from my dad, and my fiancee got me a 150$ gift certificate at Brownells (gunsmithing tooling)   

My Wife got me the Revell of Germany 1/144 C-17, Revell/Monogram 1/48 PBY/OA-10A Catalina and 1/48 EA-6B Prowler, Trumpeter 1/32 Crusader and the Academy 1/48 MH-53E Sea Dragon. I also got $500.00 in Home Depot gift cards from my mom/dad, sisters and my wife's dad. I hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas and new years.

I received a cool book vintage 1945 called "Fight Talk" which is a collection of the inter-company motivational posters for the General Cable Company during the war years. General Cable supplied wire to the military.

I also bought myself the 1/48 Hasegawa Pips Priller Fw-190A-5 w/ BMW 327.

Congrats, Alex! That's great news!

Nothing like the gift of Love! --which is primarily what I got from Jenn and my great family!

agent, really glad to hear the good news!  I hope things will work out well.

A 97 Z28 Camaro which was also part of my 40th birthday, Sirus radio for said car, 21 pairs of socks from my dogs, and an Iwata compresor.

It was a great year.

Fantastic news.  Congratulations.  That will be the best Christmas present one can receive.  Sounds like progress.  A new year is dawning and appears bright.

Congradulations, I really hope you can work everything out, I truly do, but then, im a hopeless romantic, eh'

Socks, yes socks.  New slippers (loafers).  Gift certificate.  CD.  And from my Secret Santa a fantastic - 1/48 Tamiya North American RAF Mustang III.

Best gift of all was that all my family - made it this year for the day.

Best to everyone in the new year.

i got what i honestly wanted

picture below shows it

i had a good xmas

I got some desperately needed flat black paint, emery boards, and two big ones, Firstly, the Chariot from Lost in Space in 1/24th and then, my favorite, an Aluminite casting kit. It has the necessary materials to make sillicone molds, and cast them in a resin type plastic. Also, I recieved 20 bucks in money so about an hour ago, I picked up Revell's 1/72 Fokker Dr.1 and Sopwith tri. As a bonus, Hobby Town was having a buy 2, get 1 free so I also got a Tamiya 1/35th U.S. WWII infantry.

I also got other non modeling stuff but I wont post that here. Ok, one of them. This cute, 3-foot tall penguin! Awwwww.... Man, my rep is gonna go down the tubes! Well, we 14-year-olds can get away with certain stuff...

I didn't get any models this year.  I haven't built all the ones I've gotten in previous years.  I did get 4 novels, a sweatshirt, some t's, socks and candy.  The best gift was the same as I got last year, and hope to get next year, Christmas with my wife.

first of all I usually just tell my kids not to get me anything as I've got enough junk right now for two more lifetimes!

*my future son inlaw (we hope) got me a Jonny Walker Black gift set

*daughter got me another bottle of smelly stuff (I must have a dozen unopened bottles right now!)

*youngest son bought me a cigar humidor (empty of course)

*middle son got me a couple more LP boxed sets (Lead Zeppelin Mother Ship and another Miles Davis one)

I have other things on the way that I have no idea what they are yet. Was sorta hoping I'd get a new 10 weight flyrod (been hinting for six months), so guess I'm just gonna have to but my own!

I got 1 kit: Italeri's 1/48 P-40 M/N from the NAW GB Secret Santa exchange.

I also got one Visa gift card from my parents- I'm planning on using that for a Dremel. I could really use on for the bench!

That's pretty much it here

I posted this on another thread, but, may as well here too.

I got a Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk in the Secret Santa group build - thanks, raider83!

My Dad got me a cordless Dremel tool and a bunch of accessories for it, I'm going to have lots of fun messing around with that at the workbench!

Other than that, some DVDs, some books, an Ikea gift card. A couple sets of my favorite guitar strings in the stocking. Some other little goodies, as well - Good stuff!

A bunch of kits (I bought them myself, but my wife wrapped a couple), mostly 1/72 aircraft, nothing really outstanding.  I wanted to increase my stash to give me incentive to complete my Corsair (bad first airbrush paint job and the canopy won't fit right) and Stryker (I really hate IBTT parts, especially PE ones).  Nothing like salivating over new kits to renew my enthusiasm.

Some shirts, books, and a calendar too.

But the most interesting thing was a Digicomp-I kit (http://www.mindsontoys.com/kits.htm).  I've had it on my list for a couple of years and my Mom got it for me this year.  What can I say, I'm a computer programmer nerd.  While it isn't "scale", it is a model kit that I will be putting together.  So I'll post a WIP of it on the forum.  Somewhere.  Not sure what category to put it under.
