The opening and building of the presents exchanged.

Start date is Christmas morning, local time and end date is January 31st.
You can take and post all the pix you want of whatever is under your tree until then.

This GB started from threads here and here.

Your Chief Elf is MattBacon ...

Enjoy !

EDIT: Just to clarify, this thread is for those who participated in the UAMF Secret Santa this year, and not for the general unveiling of models received at Christmas - that would be appropriate in the "Stash has grown" thread elsewhere.

Hi, all... Please post your builds in here; it is a "legit" GB, after all!

Ideally, as soon as possible on or after Christmas Day, please start your thread by posting a picture of you with your SS gift (and try to put a brave face on it! ;-P) After that, the GB runs until end of January, and how you choose to do it is up to you. You may wish to consider, though, killing two birds with one stone with a Blitzbau effort -- if so, let us all know so the cheerleaders can come out to play...

All the best,
M.

That looks very cool R&D.

Here is mine under the tree:

It looks to me like a Revell or Italeri box judging by the size. She who must be obeyed says I have to wait until morning before opening it. :evil:

...you could always count the build threads, Chris ;-P

Actually, we have one Secret Santa present delayed in the post, but I'm sure Martin R will be along in a day or so. I don't think any of us are feeling foolish, though... just appreciative of the thinking that has been put into the kits we found under the tree...

bestest,
M.

OK, so I'm back home now, and there's a card from Royal Mail saying there's a package waiting for me at the local depot. I'll have to find some time to pick it up, but I'm hoping it's my SS package. The rate we're going, I may just be able to finish an Airfix Spitfire!

regards,

Martin
