Got mine as well! Just gotta wrap it up and mail it out! The wrapping may well be the most difficult part. Maybe I should just cover it with Bare metal foil and weather it with a couple washes of burn't seinna?

Maybe before wrapping in bare metal foil add a little wiring underneath with a tilt switch so everytime your victim, I mean recipient attempts to shake, rattle and roll it. XXXXX gets a little extra voltage to kick start the day off.

Oooohhh...now THAT is just mean.

OK! Got the model: a nice 1/## XXX for YYY. I'm confident this ZZZ-driven aircraft will fit nicely into his collection of @@@ aircraft.

I'll ship it next week-end: this way he should be drooling over his model for about seven weeks!

Now what would be really, really funny was if someone packed their stuff inside 5 or 6 bigger boxes, taped shut very, very thoroughly.

Oh, sorry.... I guess that would be instigating for me to bring that up.

So I won't.

Devious minds think alike.

Great minds think alike

To help me keep up with things, when you do send your package out, please email or PM me so I can make a note of that.

Thanks to everyone!

Don't forget the panel wash and chipping! LOL

Oh I've got something much better in mind to torment my victim.  Muhwaahaahaa!!!

My confidential source (also known as The Stool Pigeon), I will keep silent on the name to protect the innocent, that Santa has booked the services of a couple of body guards to protect him while transporting the SSGB3 loot.

2nd if there is any more nasty innuedoes of rigged packages, he has the Bomb Squad and SWAT on standby.

Santa absolutely refuses to deliver a Spitfire to jwb.

 You may as well just give him a lump of coal then

 And as for the bomb squad........ there's ways around them

Knowing Jon he'd take that lump of coal and mould it into a carbonite spitfire night fighter.

I think that Jon would turn a Messerschmitt into a Spitfire.

Now that would be a project!

I have reclaimed a minuscule area in my dungeon (basement).

Well, I have gotten tired or not being able to sniff glue fumes mating plastic surfaces together, splashing paint around because of basement renovations. So, I pulled rank and took back my territory last night.  Let the building begin. 

One draw back, I'll have to cover everything at the end of the session to keep it clean.

Hooray 

PaPa-John

That sounds great Papa-John.   A man can be without his manspace for only so long!

Jon, reminds me of that computer animation program that was popular awhile back that allowed you to morph one object into another.  Perhaps you could use that to guide your me 109 conversion!

Kev

Good good. Now maybe to buy a small kit to fit the small space

Wow...I can't believe how excited I am just waiting for the UPS guy to deliver the kit from the on-line store..just so I can send it out to my recipient!!  This is the coolest ever!!  What other forum do you know where people who hardly know each other, except for one common interest, shop to make each other happy.  Proud to be a part of it all.

Guess that rules out a Lancaster.  .  I was able to set up near the computer.  That way I can multi-task.  Yes, I can chew bubble gum and walk at the same time.

Happy hunting everyone.  Torture, torture, torture - *********** many times over. 

Will be nice to see Jon morph.

UPS, I heard it was Brinks that was making the delivery to your place.
