guess what.........santa was early
Posted by fightnjoe on Friday, December 24, 2004 11:26 AM
i saw a thread in the armor section on what you got for christmas. so tankergeoff i hope you dont mind i am going off your topic.

members what did santa bring this year?

for me a pic of the early group.



there is more coming. and yes these are things that my wife and i purchased for me. i have some on their way that will be given to my children as well as more to the stash.

edit: after the first of the year i will be singing all i want for christmas is my two front teeth. i will be going in for a double root canal and rebuild on my two front teeth.

merry christmas all.

you go Joe! You ol model buildin fool you! Nice stash you got for Xmas! I myself also had a stop by Santa's workshop yesterday... got another AT-6, a Bf-110 C/D, my wife picked herself up a 1/1200 Scharnhorst (I nearly fell on the floor when she said she wanted a model... ) various shades of vallejo acrylic, a little of this and a little of that...

Congrats! hope to see some more builds out of you soon!

On a shorter trip I managed to snag to old Linbergh kits of a Gato class sub and a Nautilus sub.. $2.00 each! Not scale, glaring discrepancies but have been OOP for a bit I understand... so nabbed them in case they are worth something someday.. (people actually collect old Aurora and Linbergh stuff.. odd...)

Going online in a bit to order my Iwata as well.. something to do about chocolate, a malt at this old time place down the street and all you can eat catfish put the missus in a giving mood!

Nice stash. Personally I prefer MoriMori over the Tamiya epoxy putty.

Very nice haul Joe ! We haven't exchanged gifts here yet, but I'm pretty sure there won't be any kits under my tree. I did drop a lot of hints about a new printer for printing pics, so I'll see tomorrow.
