Um, I have a semi-serious (half funny?) question... do you have to (ahem) actually have FINISHED your previous SS GB before joining this one?

I sure hope not, I think my kit from last year has one coat of paint on the cockpit and that is about it. But Jon is right, as cool as it was to get a gift the real fun of last year was spending hours digging through 2 seperate hobby shops for the perfect kit for my buddy Bondo, in fact between some other "incidents" on the forums where he and I ended up on the same side fighting a slightly tipsy overly nasty anphibious assult trooper and SSGB he became what I would consider a very good friend if not reluctant mentor. Three cheers for the man who puts this together every year as it embodies everything Christmas is about which also happens to be everything that is forgotten about Christmas. So needless to say, I am in.

ok I am in, anything thing with 2 engines WWII 1/48 would be interesting. Since my stash is quite small I will need to buy to fullfill my gift so if you have an esotric choice I can snag that one as a giver.

oh and I plan on finishing my gift real soon I am waiiting to finish my workroom {16 feet of tables, including one for paint and a dedicated one for charging batteries, soldering etc}

PM Inbound!

Cheers,
Alex

Hey jon, I think I'll hop on the bandwagon (or sleigh?) too. I read some of this GB last year and it looks like fun. PM inbound.

Gotcha! Glad to have you!

I'm in for my second SSGB! This is gonna be great!

Great......except for the extra 2 weeks of that incessant voice from inside that darn box! I guess I'll have to practice up on sticking my fingers in my ears and going "LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA"!

Pm incoming Jon!

I'd be glad to join PM inbound.

A good showing so far and we are off to a good start. This is gonna be fun as usuall.

Oh, great it's time for a new SSGB! Although we still have daylight savings, fall has come upon us with dark mornings and evenings! Just the right time to sit by the table and build models!

I'm in this year too! :)

Cheers,

Azgaron

Things are off to a great start! Lots of second and third time Santas, and some new faces (or avatars, as the case may be .) Welcome everyone!

If you are trying to decide whether or not to join, just take a look at the last two SSGB threads. I think you'll see we had a great time, and I'd love to have you join us.

This is first and foremost about giving, that whole love your neighbor thing. I'd love to have you join neighbor!

Please PM me if there are circumstances that are keeping you from joining. If I can help take care of those, I gladly will!

So polish up those.... uh..... whatever those metal dealies are under a sled.... and get ready for some fun!

For all those who are in the pondering, procrastinating, hesitating, maybe syndrome.  Let me attest to the fun that you will have in this great GB hosted by Jon (jwb).  In short I was invited  by Jon to participate last years build and have had a blast participating. Everyone in this build was very gracious and a lot of fun.  So, if you need an uplift, or just want to meet new friends, please join.

I know i benifitted trememdously from last years GB and I know you will reap the same rewards as I did. 

So please JOIN and have the best time of your life.

and to Jon for arranging what will be another great super duper Group Build.

I'm in I guess I have to be good over the weekend to have Jon post my name, PM was sent.

As a founding member (3-peat? ) for the SSGB, I can only echo PaPa John's sentiments!  It's truly fun and rewarding, and a great way to get to know your fellow modelers here (not to mention a real test of one's fortitude to not open that box before Christmas Day! ) 

Brian 

I am definitely jumping on this sleigh!!

Email inbound, Jon! Looking forward to joining in the fun.

Kev

I'll jump aboard after seeing the fun you guys had last year.

PM sent Jon.

I have it from a good reliable source, that Santa's elves are already warning him that he will need an extra jumbo size sack for the 3rd SSGB .

Yes Jon there is truly a Santa Claus and he is alive and well.
