tosouthern66 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 (edited) No models here but I did get 40.00 gift card to Hobby Lobby, 100.00 cash and a pre paid 50.00 visa card. I see a new air compressor coming my way soon. Just have to decide which one I want to order. I'm stuck between a California Air tools twin cylinder or a Master Airbrush TC-828 or TC848. Any suggestions from the gallery would be apreciated. Nice stash you recieved!!!! Edited December 25, 2013 by tosouthern66 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 No models for me, but I did get a great gift. My wife put my old Scouting uniforms into shadow boxes. Gotta find the right spot on the wall for them: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChippyWho Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 This is all the model stuff my darling wife got for me, I'm in love!!!!!! Funnily enough, I'm sort of embarking on a little love affair myself: just discovered the Metal Earth range a few days ago! I'd be interested in your opinion of that little locomotive in your haul. It's sort of a tradition that me & Mrs Who (and our respective families) ignore the whole modelling thing over Christmas; our gifts are a tad more conventional. Sadly, this also reflects the surreal extent of my procurement budget over the preceding twelve months -if I ever did stop to add it all up, what little hair I have left would turn very white indeed...

hornet97 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Got a 40.00 dollar gift card to hobby lobby and 100 dollars in cash and a airbrush! Merry Christmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yardbird78 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 My wife got this for me from evil bay for $10. I built one of these back in the 1960s, but I think this one is a re-issue. It is still in factory shrink wrap. Darwin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've never heard of the Metal Earth stuff myself until today, and I have to say, I'm intrigued. That one is from my brother in law, kind of a cross over gift, covers models and trains, both top of my list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
is it windy yet? Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 No photos but but two wingnut wings kits; Fokker e iv and Gotha iv bomber, in 1:32 scale of course. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've never heard of the Metal Earth stuff myself until today, and I have to say, I'm intrigued. Yeah, they seem to cover a lot of subjects. The Star Wars stuff and Architectural models appeal; they have the rather beautiful Himeji-jo that was kitted by Doyusha (I think?) a while back, and the Burj Khalifa -wonder how big that one is! One and a half miles from the base of the real one, you can still be in its shadow... If they ever get around to the fabulous, origami-like Taipei 101, I'm on the case!

Kurt H. Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I got the new revell F-105D T-stick II, then as I opened another present, I peeled back the wrapping paper and was pleasantly shocked to see a 1/72 Anigrand C-133. Very generous and thoughtful, and it is one of my favorite aircraft. ... a bench clearing drop everything else event :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SERNAK Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Merry Christmas Bill (rightwinger26)!!!!! You are one lucky guy!!!!! I wonder if she bought you all these gifts just for Christmas, what is she buying you when it's just your birthday? The whole model store?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
streetstream Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) I got the Revell british legends collection kit with a 1/72 spitfire, a 1/72 hawker hurricane and a 1/72 Lancaster. I also got a Revell 1/72 Hawker Hunter which i really wanted since it was the first model i build when starting moddeling and i wanted to see if my skills improved over the 4 (or so) years since i started. Sadly, i have to work today, but i hope to do some building tomorrow. BTW, those are the model related gifts i recieved. I also go other great gifts from my girlfriend and the "in-laws".

bdt13 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 No kits, but I did get a new airbrush (Badger 200). I'm so backed up on building I have actually mentioned to people not to buy me kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bashace Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Wow Bill, that's one heck of a haul! When I mentioned model kits for Xmas all I got was "Over my dead body!", but somehow a little Huey and a NASA decal sheet snuck in there . V/r Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 No kits received but I did get $100 in gift certificates to an LHS from my mother in law. With the stash where it is, I'll be buying supplies and other necessities. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Cool, will you post the finished model in ship forum? I will post a link to a gallery, as I do with all of my builds. No video on this one, though. I don't have time to do videos on all my builds, just select ones. Here is a link to the build blog for it, if you want to follow along.
