Now, why is it I really need to go on sick call all of a sudden?

That's right Doc, he's been under a lot of pressure lately.  See to it that he is returned to active duty ASAP.  I wanna make sure the CAG is in tip-top shape by Christmas.  Now, get to it!

Darren- Hope the doctor has the medicine you require.  I think you're in good hands with her.

Buddy I'll let you know how the PB gun works after the 25th! My son who will be 13 in two days is really into that!

Cool, I bought my son his PB gun last Christmas.  What a blast!!!  Lots of bruises to prove how fun it is. .  I'll have to keep lots of air in the tank for when the boys start hanging around my 12 year old daughter. 

Paul, the pit is looking great.  Can't wait to see more.

 Oh yeah Paul is much easier! Thanks Roy ! Er Captain....sir... The holidays has people busy busy busy!  Wow. Bet Bondo is partied out! Nam is just out! The XO and CAG still  jumped ship with me nurses!

Yep John he day ended by me chasing him away with battery powered clippers!

btp2k2  Whadda name!  Might have to shorten it to TP but the great Cornholio may ressurrect. Nice pit! Forgive me for not recalling but how big is it? !/48?  I am so confused? Looks very swell all hand painted? I really dig the multiple screens so you can kill the enemy and not miss your favorite soap. Does it have TIVO? Serious that is a lot of detail to paint and you got it covered!

Hmmm Nam? I think I told you 26 is a few seconds too young for me alas she is safe. Better watch out for Raider 83 though I hear he has a thing for older women and plays that football hero role!

Roy hopefully by the time the beer brews my teeth will let me have some!

lewbud! Guess what the 13 year old got for Christmas!  Yep you said it!

Sorry to break up all the fun.....I have some progress shots of my big bug.

The screens were done using AMscan confetti over Tamiya Clear Green, then inserted the clear pieces. The clear pieces did not fit so well. Then I painted the buttons and switches with the end of a bamboo skewer, and then dry brushed some silver lightly to make the details pop a bit. To give the dials the appearance of glass covers, I added drops of future on them.

Ticia is 26 now....no man can threaten without an armed F-18

....and I'd still give her the odds!

Your a good dad

I don't see any mispelled werds? Maybe a few more years with Roy and I can get edumacated!

Come on up and I'll teach you how to brew beer from grains

 A HA! I opened my box that contained the SS gift! All that was in it was some crumpled wrapping paper and an empty plastic bag from Hobby Town USA.

Hmmm then I found the culprit!

Seems Dee was so struck by the fact that the secret Santa included her that she went nuts wrapping and decorating and even put on a Santa hat.

The best part of the day was it completely interupted my daughter and her boyfriend. You can see how happy it made her!

 The Burl Ive's singing Holly Jolly Christmas was just too cool!  My thanks to who ever you are! Your a real Bud!
