I would just like to warn everyone that I have very poor impulse control(as you probably have already gathered from my stories of drinking) so this will be a great test to see if I can hold out til christmas to open this thing. Of course I will probably suceed seeing as how as live with my wife/sponser she has a special way of motiviating me by threatening my life. I will suceed, or die trying.

Jon, I ended up returning my first selection and ordered something on line which just arived today so I'll email you as soon as I ship it.

TLP, I feel your pain.  My Mom actually took all our presents back one year because we found her hiding spot (actually it was all my brothers fault Grumpy [|(]).  She did get us new presents ... eventually! Laugh [(-D]

I finally made my pilgrimage to the LHS today....took a while...but something caught my eye and it was like seeing Pamela Anderson in a low cut shirt with two mugs of beer....I knew it was meant to be.

Well if all goes well by package will be on it's way to 2%^&^%%%$% tomorrow. I really hope

@#$%$$# likes it. I think it's going to be something they have not done before?????????????????.

In answer to Jims question, I like 1/48 wwII unusuall subjects, German normally but I will build anything as long as it has wings.

In jets I really dig the Korean to Vietnam jets. Loads of style and personality, unlike some of the stuff flying today.

Although you never can get too many Spits, Mustangs and Messerschmitts or F-14s F-15s and MiG-29s, I love odd planes or planes with unusual markings or paint schemes. I like 1/48 mainly cause it has good detail and still don't get too large, except maybe F-14s. Smile [:)] But if you look in my stash there's a lot of Airfix and Revell 1/72 kits, mainly due to the fact that they're both cheap and good practice.

You are on your own buddy, you couldnt pay me enough to get between her and chili cheese fries. Especially wienerschnizel, If I ever screw up and she is mad at me, I just drive down there and get her two orders, by the time she inhales them she has forgotten everything that happend in the last 2 - 48 hours. Always makes me think of my favorite saying "Call me old fashion, but I like to chew my food"

OK, ok, rule change.

All chili cheese fries must be approved in a taste test by the GB Host before other members may consume them.....

If there are any left....

Had to go to a LHS and pick out something different for mine. Never heard from Squadron, and with the hours I work its really hard to call them during 'normal' hours. Should be in the mail by tomorrow.
