                        Happy B-Day to Me!

                        I remember a while back, one of the posts was a poll of modelers ages, here in the forums. Well, I can now say that I'm in the next catagory (I think it was 35-45)

                        I wasn't expecting to get anything since my wife me allowed to purchase my 1/16 Tiger Wink [;)] My little girl handed me a card and a gift bag this morning.

                        Inside:

                        Academy's 1/35 M18 Hellcat U.S. Army and the 1/35 M51 Super Sherman. Well now, I may just have to dedicate a shelf to the Shermans!

                        Thanks for the kind words all....

                        edog,

                        Trust me, if I had that PE set, I'd be cruising right along!

                        Well, my little one (Kayla) really wanted to play with the kits so, I had to go to WalMart and get her, her very own. She proceeded to put a Kitty sticker on with "Love" on it. I had to take the tracks and small parts off it but, she didn't care.

                        Perfect for a Sherman, Hugh?

                        PS.....they were out of Tiger1's

                        Happy Birthday Erock,

                        Awesome gifts on your family's part. Be thankful it's just a kitty sticker today, soon it will be Power Puff Girls ( I think that's what you call them)

                        Enjoy the day

                        A very happy, although belated, birthday to you, Eric. I was home sick most of last week and my i-net connection is sooooo slow I wasn't keeping up with the forum. Sorry for being late.
                        One of the things I absolutely love about this forum is that even though I've never met, and probably never will, anyone on here, it feels (at least to me) like many of you are my friends, and you, Eric, are one of the best. It has been a pleasure reading and responding to what you say. Thank you.

                        I hope you had a great day, but don't let the build of that Sherman get in the way of the Tigers!! LOL
