 Scorpiomikey:

 

im quite excited about this.

 

 

As usual, dude, your picture's facial expression conveys exactly what you're saying. Stick out tongue

Other situations that match Scorpiomikey's facial expression:

"I'm doing my taxes"

"I'm building another limited run kit"

"What do these DVD player instructions say?"

"Oh man, I need a bathroom RIGHT now!"

"I got *who* for the secret santa this year??"

See? No matter what the circumstance, Scorpio's got it covered! 

Matt--thanks for organizing the GB, I know how much effort it takes and we all really appreciate the work.

lol yes batman does display my constant state of perplexion most of the time. However for this one i am actually really excited. Sat down and watched the hogfather last night. (happy hogswatch everybody).

Usually when i go into a model store i stand there and think "hmmm, is the money worth the output?" im always concerned about what i buy, mainly cos im a penny pincher lol, also i dont own an airbrush so modern large scale jets are a bit out of the question for me. This time, ive got a budget and i know what genre im buying.

Woo-Hoo!! Thanks Matt, message has been recieved and the elves are on it. It's starting to feel a bit like xmas.

It is starting to snow here at our house, the Christmas decorations are being put up, and the Broncos are stincking it up - yeah it's starting to feel a bit like Christmas......

 

The budget office has let me know what can be spent {good news, there is more $ available than first thought}, but will have to wait till next week for procurement.  Shoud still be sent in time to the receiving person.

Looking forward to seeing our Christmas morning surprises.

Thank you to those that have signed up for this year's Secret Santa.  I am working on getting the pairings set, and should have the emails sent out to everyone latter today.

I'm in.  Sent my email earlier in the week.  Looking forward to everything.  And btw, why is Nov 26th too late to do this?  With a two week window for shipping, that's still tons of time to buy or un-stash something and mail it, surely?

I kind of agree with a couple of people here. I have done this the last few years and I have to say that this is a really late start. I applaud your efforts and really hope it works out but I am going to have to pass this one up.

I am running a SS GB on another forum and I got it started back in September. Even with that kind of head start there are a lot of things to do.

I really do wish you good luck in this as I know how much work it takes. In closing I would say that no matter what, go forward with who you have. It's better than nothing.

Regards,

Jeff
