I got a PS3 controller and blu-ray remote.

Nothing modelling related this year, however, my girlfriend and I just bought a new house, moved in the weekend before Christmas, so, in an indirect way, i got a large bedroom dedicated to modelling...just have to finish unpacking all the boxes stored in it and set up my workbench.

Can't wait!!!

1/32 Battlestar Galactica Viper MKII, and a pair of gaiters.  And the continued health of my family and a solid roof over my head ;)

SOCKS!!!!!!!!

Same here, and a couple of shirts and a few other non-model-related gifts.

The good news is that there was a gift card that's not store-specific and should cover the photoetched parts and stand I've been wanting for the BSGkits I'm working on.

Lucky, lucky me...

Now I just got to figure out how to work it!  lol  Any tips?  Also, could I use a better airbrush with it?  It seems to have the standard connection for the air hose...

SOCKS!!!!!!!!

 

Ok, I did get two sweaters (for my British friends I think that's pullovers or pull-overs or something like that) and mom got me some tools, can't complain at that!

 

That depend, we do have sweat shirts. But i think what you are talkking about is what we would call a jumper. Pullover isn't used so often these days.

AHHH that's it! Thanks Bish! Jumper is the term I was looking for.

 

Well, no offense to anyone else but I think Doogs has us all beat so far!

Manny: I'm sure that lump of coal St. Nick brought you will keep you warm out there on the Eastern Front - well for about 10-12 mins or so.

What did you get for Christmas?
Posted by ww2psycho on Sunday, December 25, 2011 8:19 AM

What did everyone get for Christmas this year? Pics or no pics doesnt matter.

I didnt get a whole lot due to family problems but I appreciate what I did get. My parents wont buy me anymore models becuase of all the ones I have now.

1. Cell phone case

2. Winter gloves

3. Best thing I got was a subscription to WWII History Magazine. Ive been buying them for awhile since none of the magazines at work in the break room interest me. Hopefully it will bring me more motivation to work on and finish models!
