Chatting on Santa's Knee ....

[JohnRatzenberger]

While it's a bit to late to drop broad hints around the forum, we can still get in the holiday spirit and chatter away ....

Here are the background chat posts -- initial and set-up.

Many thinks to Brickie, who drafted the rules and did the exchange management.

Rules ?
1. As Santa, be sure to send your gift - that should be done by now.
2. As recipient (Santee?), be sure to finish it by January 31st.
3. Do spend a little time with your family ...
4. Have Fun !!

We're not doing the usual References & Previously Built sections in this GB, in case you were wondering ...

Not a problem.

No tree in my house to put mine under. Christmas will be down in St. George where my daughter and her Mom (we have been separated almost 3 yrs) and they have the tree up (unless the dogs have been real brats). I will be heading down Christmas Eve (about a 5 hr drive and possible chance of snow, yay).

[Narayan]

I think mine is the last to arrive.



I believe the expression goes "save the best 'til last"

Yay!! The gangs all here now ....

Is it the 25th yet ?

Happy Christmas everyone.

It looks like you all must have been good children, looking at the presents you all got from Santa.

I look forward to watching all your builds.

Regards Splash

Rather than posting in everyones individual threads I thought I'd pop a note in here that we all appear to have been very good little boys and girls this year as we all seem to have recieved something(s) very nice indeed! A very nice mix of kits - aircraft (old and new), a tank and a figure!
I think a big well done is deserved by all the Secret Santas!

[Narayan]

Having just had a good look at all the Secret Santa threads and made postings I have to agree with Ian. A nice mix of kits and well done to all the Secret Santa's. Especially me

Yes, I think we, in the words of Old Mr. Grace "all did very well." Now, the quesiton is - can we all finish this year?

[theconfidencestoat]

Again I missed this one. Bugger.

[PaulBradley]

How's it coming along, folks? Only one completion so far - it would be great if we could get 100% completion this year.

My three are progressing nicely; hoping to get more painting done a bit later this arvo, though it's been a busy day for us so far. Still, I've the whole day off tomorrow as well, so I hope to get quite a bit done. Still on target for a finish on all three!

[coptermech]

Hope to have the Tiffie finished by next weekend.

Rear undercarriage doors to paint. Canopy to finish. Aerial wire to fit. I should finish, although modelling time is scare Mon - Wed evenings at the mo'.
