Right idea, but it looks like santa was cut out of paper and glued onto it.  Doesnt fit right

Awe dress him up a little bit. I am no artist to be sure especially playing with Graphics. Maybe someone has a better idea. Just throwing stuff out there.

 Maybe you could dress up as Santa? Your in college tell them your participating in a hazing ritual!Mischief [:-,]

 It's kinda tricky. I mean there just are not a lot of Santa in a panzer pics around. I think touching up this one may give the best results as you have to impose readable text and I left Santa a little bold so it would show when shrunk.

Like I said I am no pro and maybe someone has a better idea. Just throwing it out there to show some support. Smeagle needs time to do his term papers I'm sure!

Smeagol, PM inbound.

I'm in.

You got a telegram from headquarters today. Headquarters--what is it? Well, it's a big building where generals meet, but that's not important right now. [ img] f_armorsecretm_ac7eb73[/ img]

Tell me about it. Laugh [(-D] There is just something about Santa Cruisin on  a Panzer that doesn't seem quite right in itself?  Not to many jolly people going into battle usually. At least he didn't ask for Santa to be bayonetting babies or something! ( Wait you never heard that smeagle)

Lets keep at it. I really am encouraging others to join in the fun here and give him some more choices!  May be able to come up with some off the wall stuff!

Lets put Santa in the DAK today! Desert Santa! Watch out Montey!

We have enough to do this with just ourselves.

i've been doing a bit of window shopping......most armour is so damn expensive here......I nearly snapped up a Tamiya Marder II the other day because it was cheap (AU$25)  Most Dragon or Tamiya stuff is $AU 50-60.  Academy/Trumpeter is cheaper, but frankly i'd be pissed if I got one as a present so I'm not going to buy one for someone else.  Postage is going to cost me so I'm on the lookout for bargains.  If only we had a hobby lobby here .................Sigh [sigh]

Remember you can always order online and have them (if they offer) wrap and ****** it to your target, then send pics and stuff out in a card.

As far as shipping I wouldnt make you (hopefully) send one to someone halfway around the world.  We have a few people signed up that are in japan.

Are the guidelines basically the same as JWB's? Opened ended build time, don't start till Christmas, post on Christmas Day what you got, etc...

Ok guys, at this point entry is now closed.

I have set up who will get who and whatnot.  Everything should work for shipping, so it will be fun.  We just seem to have one participant that has not checked the forum in atleast a month, has me alittle worried.
