Thanks to Everybody from a Baghdad Hobby Club member!!!!!
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, June 7, 2005 4:56 AM
Thanks to all of you who have sent in kits or letters to the Baghdad Hobby Club. I had been out of modeling for a while, I'm more of a wargamer than modeler, when I was deployed out here. Finding the BHC, and picking up a few kits has been a real delight. We have many stress and strains out here, and being able to sit down for a little while and work on a kit is a great way to pass the time, and help us de-stress. More importantly, MOST importantly really, is just knowing that some many people have taken the time out of their bust lives to send us a few things. I have friends who leave the wire every day, and those who stay in the FOB, and all of us appreciate having the club. As a small thank you, I have gathered some pics of some uparmored Humvees, and posted them to a Yahoo group. I am trying to find a better home for them, but this will have to do for now. If you want pics of any vehicles or helicopters out here,or if you have any questions about things out here, let me know, and I will do my best to get them. Thanks again!!

Joe - glad you guys are out there taking care of us! And thanks for finishing what we weren't allowed to do when I was there. (Desert Storm)

I appreciate the pics and hope you get home so you can continue your modeling somewhere a little more hospitable!

Along these lines, can somebody point me in the direction of some info regarding donating kits to BHC. I've got some kits I don't really want to keep in my stash that probably won't fetch much on ebay but might be fun for some of the guys in Iraq.
