Dear Santa: have I been naughty or nice? (the yearly Christmas gift topic)

Well, here we go-ho-ho-ho again!
Let’s see how nice you have been the last year!
Apparently I have a good boy, as Santa has gifted me this awesome kit…


Me happy!

Nothing.
Nothing at all,
my stash is full.

I did get a little bit of free workout though,
I spent 5 hours ripping out an oversized
ventilation system from an air raid shelter.
It had been used as gym and then a furniture
storage. Now we are rebuilding it back to
being a proper shelter. Putins ambitions have
highlighted the importance of being prepared.

If the bomb drops, how long can you hold out in a shelter? Not much point hiding to temporarily stave off the inevitable when the outside world becomes a nuclear wasteland! Far better to use the space as an overflow stash with the added benefit of being hidden from the prying eyes of SWMBO…

Congrats Erwin. I will know in our morning but I predict no modeling kits or tools for me even though I was a good boy this year.

That cellar belongs to the housing association so I can’t claim it as my own :cry:

I know I’ll get one kit - because I gave it to the missus to wrap! Otherwise I’d have to ambush the Fat Man and ransack his sled…

I’m not sure. Haven’t asked for anything in particular and nothing seems to be in a kit size box, or rattles like sprues. The only thing I have asked for is Dune Part 2 on Blu-ray and I think I’ve figured out which one that is.
So, we’ll see what other surprises I have in the morning. I did get a book about the Wild Weasels in Vietnam from Secret Santa at work, so that was cool.

Till then, wishing everyone a happy Christmas!

I’m getting just two kits as I already picked up a few not that long ago and quite frankly have most of the subjects I want anyway.

My focus this year was mostly on power tools for my garage.

The only thing modeling related is Legends of Warfare book on the Shokaku Class. My stash is overpopulated tho I’m sure I’ll find a “Gotta Have” soonish

I only know I am getting some miniature Japanese pull saws to use as I construct some G-scale railroad car kits. I think they will be quite handy, no pun intended. Good Christmas to you all!

You would be lucky if it’s just the box. My GSD treated a whole sprue tree as a crew bone once. My cats only like the plastic parts if they fall otherwise it’s the plastic sprue wrapping or sitting in/on the box they enjoy most.

Ah, but whose porch exactly? :rofl:

I got me a truck with the kind of weapon I need on the daily commute!

I’m working away all of January, so this will be my OOB evening activity.

Oops… The name wasn’t a give away, so it was a 50% chance… Nice kit anyway!
