2015-2016 Secret Santa Group Build *** LESS THAN A WEEK LEFT TO SIGN UP!***

Less than a week left to join up before I draw names on Thanksgiving(Thursday 26th.) We have a good group already, but the more the merrier, especially this time of year! Lets spread some holiday cheer and put some more models under the trees this Christmas.

We do apologize if the multiple threads seem confusing (or probably even annoying for some) but we really wanted to get the word out to EVERYONE. Me and BrandonK we talking and we admited that we both never really explore the boards; we normally just stick to the Aircraft and GB boards. Come to find out, we are missing so much EXTRAORDINARY work because we stay in our aircraft bubble. And I am sure there are armor builders, sci-fi builders, ect that do the same thing.

 

And I think thats one of the great things about this GB. Say for instance I happen to draw a ship builder as my recipient, I'm gonna do some research and looking around to make sure I don't get them some crap kit. Then I'll watch them build the kit, and who knows. I might end up getting so caught up and interested in his ship build, that I decide I want to break out of my aircraft shell and try building a U-boat or carrier or something.

I responded to the other thread, but I'd like to participate.  This has always been a fun GB.

I'm in guys, I just need to look through my wish list for something reasonable.

Edit. I promissed myself I would cut back on the GB's this next year, HA! yeah right!

Good to have you aboard!

When I first heard of this, it sounded fun. Last year, I was looking forward to it with hopes it happen again. To my disappointment, it never happened.

Now that I see your desire to restart it, I only have one thing to say... Oh Hell Yeah!! I'm in.

This really is fun. I don't know about you guys, but I have more fun and joy out of building a kit that someone got me as a gift than I do out of a kit I get myslef. And being able to give sime guidelins as to what you would like, its bound to be something that interests you to a degree.

So spread the Christmas spirit this year and be someone's secret Santa. I mean, who DOESN'T want one more gift under the tree this year?

This really sounds like a super fun idea and would mix things up a bit with regard to GB's where you pick your exact kit. This way you get something along the lines you want but you're not quite sure what it will be. Someone else gets one from you along the lines of what they want and no one knows who gave who what. We build what we get and have a great time doing it. 

This is one of the best ideas I've seen come along in some time.

Let's all get on board and celebrate the spirit of Xmas and the  unity this group of builders shows each other when someone is down. 

Sign up for the build, let us know a general idea of the type of kit and scale you would like and we'll match you up, secretly, to someone else who will get you something along those lines, but you don't know what.

Why not?

I'll start: I'm thinking about something post WWII in 1/48 scale aircraft. That should be close enough. I'll see what I get.

Who's next?
