11bee Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Santa was good to me this year. In addition to the usual stuff dads get (PJ's, socks, pictures, etc), the big guy brought me some reading material: And I also got reunited with an old friend - US Army surplus Alice Pack (Large). Still convinced that this is the best ruck ever designed. Just found out that the in-laws are headed down here in a few hours. May load up the books and a 6 pack of Flying Dog beer into the ruck and head out into the woods to find an unused tree stand and hunker down for the day. Hope Santa was good to everyone, Merry Christmas guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I got myself a 1/48 Sea King from my friend Sonyken, and another modeling Santa is bringing me a 1/32 Su-27UB. I was flabbergasted that he was so kind, and it's certainly at the top of my build list for the new year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

breadneck Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) King size pillow, pretty much the size of a small window. Around 3 by 1.5 feet. Also got a classic Tempur memory foam pillow. Olive down jacket (very big & fluffy) Not the type of guy to ask others to cater for my modelling needs, so there was no plastic hiding under the imported plastic tree.

hawkwrench Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Some ammo for my AR-15, a S&W shirt, an AR-15 multi-tool and a Revell 1/32 scale UH-1 Huey! Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 No styrene on my list this year as I have just about everything I want and the missing pieces are rare, OOP stuff I usually only find on ebay. So I cleaned up on ebay gift cards and scored an airbrush compressor and a mess of old vinyl instead-most notable being an original release of Blizzard of Oz. Also got a Best Buy gift card and picked up a high end toaster and a slow cooker. Mom of course got me a bunch of clothes and for a nice change, most of it fits Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamitri Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 New airbrush, 2 tamiya tomcats, testors B-2A, and a huge credit card bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 At the club gift exchange, I got the 1/72 Zvezda Mig-29 9.13 (beautiful kit). From a gift card from a friend I got the AMT U.S.S. Excelsior kit. And from my relatives I got a 1/48 Tamiya F-14A (my second). Not a big haul, but certainly a decent one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
