I'm more anxious to see what everyone else got, and to see what my reticpant says about his, then what I got.  I cant wait though!

"PING"

Smeagol hit's 1,500 post's!

Congrats.

My second parcel shipped and my friend at my local PO says it should get there in time for xmas.

I Haven't opened the box my stuff came in yet and I'm getting very excited to see what it is.

I did notice that it doesnt rattle one bit when I move it so it must be packaged well,that or it's a shirt. LOL

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]

haha, underwear, I hope I don't get underwear....that's one of my least favorite gifts,,,clothes, my parents buy me clothes if I need them, so why waste a perfect gift on something I could otherwise get free? This is what college is teaching me, get as much free stuff as you can, haha, anybody else learn that at college or am I alone?

I sent my gift I believe monday, or tuesday, priority, so it should be there soon if it hasn't already....haven't gotten mine yet, but thats what I get for sending mine out late :/

well, I know your guy sent it out, or atleast, he should be, he is a responcible one, or I would suspect, if not, we can overpower him.

Smeagol.

* 2nd post.

Any chance we could get the GB badge resized (a bit smaller)  not many people displaying it yet because of its size I suspect !

Badges? Badges? WE don't need no stinking. . . . . Wait. . . . I don't have one yet . . . . . . nevermind!

So how does one go about posting a badge on their page? where do I pull it from? Photobucket?

I know, I know, You are thinking " he doesn't know how to post a badge?

Rookie!

I am not a girl, and I have no problem admitting that I like chick flicks...although, I don't know a guy who doesnt like the princess bride if he's seen it once...awesome movie.

 For the record I also like war movies and good action films too...

Thanks so much to my Secret Canadian Santa! You actuall hit a home run as I needed this kit to complete my sp Russian guns. I have the SU-85 Tamiya and the Edward PE set for it taped to the top. The card with you at your bench was just too cool! Someone who knew me could not have done better! Thanks again !

I opened my SS gift a while ago by accident.....I thought it was something I ordered off Ebay!Whistling [:-^] After a few confused moments, I realized it was from my SS....Puma_Adder aka: Jason!

It's a Dragon Pz.Kpfw. III Ausf.E! It's a sweet looking kit, I've been wanting to try a Dragon kit for a while now.

Thanks Jason, for the kit and for your service!Thumbs Up [tup](Jason is a Marine)

Merry Christmas everybody!

Here's a pic of me, the model, and my two sons(budding modelers themselves). Don't let this give you nightmares!Big Smile [:D]

Nice score there Max. And a couple of good looking boys as well. Unfortunately, I must remind you of the words of Herr Smeagol in a previous thread: "If you open your gift before Christmas, then you must send 10 models to everyone in the GB." Shall I send you my wish list now? Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

And as for my gift, thank you very much to who ever it was. I tossed the USPS box with your name and now I've forgotten it! All I can remember is that you are from Wisconsin. Anyway, I received a Bronco Swurfgerat H39. Very interesting little tank that will go well with my Stuka Zu Fuss.  

Edited to say, Holy Crap Max. I just noticed you are from Wisconsin. Were you my Secret Santa? If so, then you only owe me 9 more kits!!!Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

I'm glad you liked it! Let me know how the book goes as well...

ew, Sex in the City? I have to draw the line somewhere...lol. Smeagol's prob sleeping, haha

I got Tamiya's T34/76  from Hans, thanks a lot! I think I might try to get some PE or some AM for this kit maybe some scrathbuilt stuff too...anybody know a good set of PE or AM for newcomers to AM?

What did everyone get other than these?
I got a Takka T3 30-06 Sprg with a Bushnell Elite 3200 scope....my first ever REAL firearm (I've had a pellet gun and a paintball gun)
Also got two books...USMC: A complete history, and World War II: A complete photographic history...theyre huge, lol.
Also got Company of Heroes Gold edition

Happy Christmas everyone!
