I will have to get up to my LHS (here in Okinawa) this weekend. There are lots of good kits overhere to pick from so I got to get some ideas. Smile [:)]
Some people spend their whole lives wondering if they made a difference. Gundams don't have that problem.

I have been doing the same thing by looking at the names on the roster and figuring what each would like to have as a present. Kinda like doing research.

Well, I haven't been a member here for long...actually just a little over a week I guess, but I'd like to do this.  It seems like a good way to get to know some of you. 

 

I started modeling about 23 years ago with my dad and I don't think that I've done too many without him...a couple of skyraiders here, a zero or two there.  But lately I've been getting back into it, so I'll give this a shot.  I'm looking forward to learning some new techniques.

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] to the worlds greatest GB.  This GB makes the world much smaller seeing we have participants from all sides of the pond. 

Great way to get to know lots of fellow modelers.  We have jwb (Jon) to thank for this.

Stay tuned Santa Chapter Two is forthcoming.  Chapter One was jwb getting the build on the go.  Chapter Two Whistling [:-^] - who knows what it has in store - sneak peeks at the LHS I have from a good source some have started already.

OK, we've got 40 folks on board! Biggest SSGB yet! Big Smile [:D]

It's only TWO WEEKS until the close date for joining, so if you're on the fence- get in! We'd love to have you.

Woohoo.  The worlds greatest Gb just keeps getting bigger.  You who hesitate and do not joiin will miss the time of their life.  Nothing better that this, it even beats sliced bread.  Santa is jumpin up and down with joy over the prospect of delivering to the GB houses.

He informed me that he is especially looking forward to the cookies and milk - milk, he put in a special order for rum eggnog Whistling [:-^] as his reindeer have terrific piloting skills. 

Does Santa really drink and fly - I don't think so.    He's teasing us already.

I haven't heard back from the admins yet, so it probably won't happen.  I can't work my magic without their say-so...

That's too bad.  Oh well, we'll have to keep track the old fashioned way.
