Hey! You with the package!

Put it back under the tree, and step away with your hands up!

Now, either take your wife/girlfriend/mother shopping, or the kit melts!

Alright, card printed, package closed, my dad's gonna mail it off from the States tommorow (ka-money-and-time-save!). Sorry 'bout your luck, Sturz. Why not chuck it into your tank and go deliver it to your recipient. Make sure the penguins don't get it!

No worries, Sturzkampf. That's too much to spend on shipping..... I know your recipient pretty well, and he understands.
Why not build both kits for the GB? That'd be perfect! But no cheating and opening it before Christmas! LOL
Same goes for the rest of ya- step away from the kit! Hands in the air!

Are we Having fun yet? Now Set those kits down & back away from the tree NOW!! Or, I'll sick the progress dawgs on ya!!

I'm doing my best to ignore the TWO packages that my SS sent to me. To bad they aren't under a tree yet. My soon to be ex-wife just moved out of the house (which means I'll be moving back in) so maybe I'll put up a tree next weekend so my two presents will have a proper place to live until the 25th.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good build!

Ho ho ho! Happy to report that all kits are sent or in transit!

Guys- thanks so much for all the enthusiasm, excitement and wonderful giving spirit everyone has demonstrated.

This is all about the giving, the friendship and the fun. And I've been so happy to see that once folks do get their kits, it's been an almost child-like joy- which is so wonderful to have recaptured such fun.

Now for the hard part- you have to wait until Christmas to open them up! No cheating! LOL

From the bottom of my heart- thank you all.

Got the gift a while ago, while my computer was down. Yes, Mr. SS, the wrapping paper is very colourful. Why, there must be a couple hundred shades of brown!!! lol. As for me, I need a new colour cartridge fro my printer to print an awesome Christmas card I found on the web. Hopefully tommorow!
