Does that mean at some point in my life I will be tired of buying kits and want to build more than I buy? I can tell you one thing for sure if that is true, my fiance will be happy! Thanks for bringing some hope to her day Durr!!!

I suppose I could come and pwn you sometime. I'm a veteran of the original COD and the expansion. Just watch out if Cpt.Obvious come near you.

I'm talking hacksors!> We're all vets of the original, too. We play almost exclusively on CBW (except when it's full) as it is a "clean" server, IE no swearing, no racist or sexual slang.

Well, I feel like a big, flaming piece of right now! Sorry Durr, I didn't mean to make light of your situation! My fault!

Nothing, unfortunately.  My wife pointed out that I had more than enough models (of course, I think she has more shoes, but I still got her a GC to buy more).  Good thing I put in a large order to Tower Hobbies shortly before Christmas . . . as a result, I got to open more gifts, today!  :)

Man, it seems like people either love that stuff, or they hate it! I'm not much of a beer kinda guy, but I do like a corona every once in awhile, now if we are going to bring some whiskey to the party! WOO HOO!

Gentlemen please, Corona, Coors Light? Five words ALEXANDER KEITH'S INDIA PALE ALE!   Keeps your hands steady for building after consumption because you don't want to spill.   Cheers; Gregory

Forgive them Gregory, they're used to American swill! Sleemans Cream Ale is pretty good, too. Be especially nice to eizzle as he has a fondness for Canadian Whisky.

You read my mind Bgrigg, I was going to say, why not stop all the arguing and have some good Canadian whiskey

Durr, that is pretty good, seems like that might apply to more people than you think!

Well folks, I didn't get any booze, but I was happy to receive a very gracious multi-genre hobby bounty:

Nice to see the old Star Trek Adversary Set reissued!

Hope you all had a happy holiday, too! (And not just from getting goodies!)

Did Santa include some of the plastic sheet to use?

If not here are the dimensions the Vac-U-Form came with when new. 3" X 3 1/2".

I cut my pieces from plastic "For Sale" signs from the local hardware store. I use a sewing needle and a piece of cardboard to punch the holes around the edges 12 on the 3" side and 14 on the 31/2" side.

I hope this helps you get forming soon.
