DEAR SANTA-ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

A decent compressor....

Steve marin hit the nail on the head: www.bing.com/.../17w8zytp7

a cat that doesn't see all my stuff as fair game.

a wife that doesn't see all my stuff as a "big mess" or say patronisingly  "what you doin'? playing with your little models?"

A new wife.......

given my small stash (my description, not my frau's) and my slow building i have a case for immortality.if TSHTF and styrene becomes the new currency we will be rich. the new "minerals" will be glue and paint.

Same here.  I took good 5 years off from building models and recently returned to the hobby, so I have lots of catching up to do.  I just hope that my kids won't destroy whatever I build.  

Isn't it a universal law that you can't die until you've finished all the kits in your stash?  right now I should live to be about 300 years old.

...a dedicated modeling area, that my family doesn't refer to as "the kitchen table.

...un-interrupted blocks of time to work on my kits.

...a Tarangus 1/48 Viggen. (and temporary use of a North Pole Elf to apply the necessary masking for the Swedish "lakes" camoflage)

All I want is a few hours in a day to get stuff done....

Speaking of that, DITTO from me too.  TANKER-builder

Roger that, Jim.  I need a few more years to finish off the "Stash", too!

Chuck

Absolutely, positively DITTO to that. I only have 1 little problem with that. I'll need a lot more years to "git er done". Thanks for putting those sentiments into such eloquent words. The same back at you TANKER-builder.
