I don't mean to poohpooh on your parade, but...every year someone hosts this GB and every year it seems to peter off after January 15th. Just sayin'.

This is gonna be lot of fun guys. Members are already signing up. 

This is a great way for many of us to meet other members we might not otherwise meet and form some great friendships and possibly even expand our builds into other sections we might not have previously considered. 

Let's all get on board with this one. It's gonna be a load of fun.

'15-'16 Secret Santa GB

Hi all! I would like to announce the 2015 FSM Secret Santa GB! We had one a couple years back, and while it kind of petered off after a while, it was still alot of fun. This year, your host will be yours truly, and considering how work sometimes keeps me off of here for a few days at a time, your co-host will be Mr. BrandonK.

 

The set up is pretty simple. If you want to participate, simply PM me:

 

1. General guidelines of what you would like. Something like 1/35 WWII German armor, or 1/48 Jet aircraft, something along those lines. Lets try not to get too specific, cause that will just take the surprise out of it.

 

2. You real name address, so your Santa knows exactly where to go to deliver your gift.

 

I will then, probably around mid-November, assign each of you giftee. And a date will also be set to send your gift out by to insure they reach their destination before Christmas. Because while it is the thought that counts, nobody likes having to wait till the 28th of December to receive a present. 

 

While its your money and I can't tell you how to spend it, I believe a kit in the 15-30 USD range would be fitting. And while the kit does not need to be brand spanking new and still in shrink rap, if you decide to send something from your stash, you had better make DARN SURE it is 100% complete and undamaged.

 

There really aren't many rules other than that. The build period will naturally begin Christmas morning, and I am thinking an 8 or 9 month build time would be appropriate, ending sometime around August or September.

 

There will be a thread set up on the GB page before too long. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or BrandonK.
