4th ANNUAL SECRET SANTA GROUP BUILD: SANTA'S NEW SLEIGH: AIRCRAFT

OOPS! Completely forgot this GB!

OK, who am I fooling. I had nothing else on my mind besides who will my recipient be, what model and which goodies could I send!

Ok Lof....count me in...this would be my first time in a secret santa GB...sounds like fun...

Looking forward to this Group Build.  It gives an element of surprise for the whole family because no one knows what I am opening.  And I have the week between Christmas and New Year's off this year {company shuts down for that week}, so I can get building right away!

I need to do a better job of updating during construction.  Also a better job of thanking my sender.

In just under 5 hours I will be shutting down joins for this group build.  Tomorrow, I will be sending out your gift receipients.  This will occur after work, so be sure to check your emails on Tuesday morning for mail and model information.  Than, off to the races.  Please let me know that you have received your gift recipient information and also let us know when you have mailed your gift.  Don't tell us who you have gifted.  That we find out on Christmas.  Looks like we have a pretty good turn-out this year, so the styrene should soon be winging it's way through the postal system.

Emails and PM's have been sent!

Awaiting you even now in your inbox is the name and mailing information of your secret recipient.  All the information you need to make another person's Christmas merry and slightly more full of the sweet smell of fresh styrene.

Please PLEASE tell me if I missed an email to you.  I am keeping an eye on my inbox to make sure I spelled everything correctly so hopefully everyone is able to start plotting and scheming.  You are encouraged to make your wrapping as sinister or as kind as you wish (please, nothing that would get Homeland Security excited :))

Perhaps you'll receive a box completely wrapped in duct tape?  Or maybe your new model will be padded by a box completely full of live spiders!

However you wish to torture your secret recipient (just kidding about the spiders), please have your gift mailed by November 18th and let me know that you have mailed it so I can check you off on the list.  Don't tell us who your recipient is, and recipients, don't tell us who sent your gift to you.  That's part of the fun on December 25th. At midnight, let the wrapping paper fly and the plastic cememt flow!

Merry Christmas one and all.

Time for the fun to begin. Cant wait to find out my victim

Steve

Oooh i got my victim and now i can start to plot.

As a side note to anyone shipping to the UK. Our lovely posties like to go on strike at the moment so things could take a while.

I got y victims name and addy. Now to hunt him down and get some info on him to see what He likes and what surprises I can get for the box. Suffer

Steve

Muahahahaha! (aka evil laughter)

Behold! I know who you are, where you live and what you want!

THE ELVES HAVE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS SO BE PREPARED!!!

The Stalking is complete and target acquired. I hit the hobby shop today and I got the kit for my intended victim. Would have liked one for myself if they had two, dont know whats worse buying a kit for someone and looking at it and wishing it was mine or sending it off and watch them squirm at the package for a long time. Might hold off on mailing it for a while.

Steve

Edit:

Thanks Jim. 

Fire,

I've PM'd you your recipient.  I'll also re-email the info to make sure it gets to you.  Again, my sincerest apologies.

Please, if anyone else has not received their recipient, harass me vigourously!  I had taken an evening and a day to hang with the wife and had not checked my email or the forums until this evening.  If you haven't recieved the info for your intended recipient, PM me, email me, or call me out here on the forums.

Thanks everyone.

Been away from the comp for a few days but I just checked a pile of emails--and found my buddie's info.

But seeing as there is no real LHS in my area, I think I'll just mail off my box of broken old kits and spare parts. Planes with multiple paint patterns from testing the airbrush, tanks that look like they just got towed off the range, and other stuff from unknown origins. Whew--gonna need a big box!

Merry Xmas, sucker..I mean, Buddy.

Hey Ollie,

Juno email apparently vomited at some point and I just got a ton of bounce back messages today.  Apparently their servers lost the ability to do SMTP connections of some kind.  I'll by PM'ing forum names to everyone this evening, since FSM's forums seem a little more reliable right now.

btp2k2,

Just dropped you a PM.
