Hi prop

I can't say for 100% sure but there have been hints and questions to lead a humble plastic junkie like myself to believe there are some British figures set and a Firefly in my future. (:-)

Maybe...
If it's not a 1/1 scale car (would that fit?!), then hopefully there will be something 1/35.... Now wich one do I prefer?!
To make the pain of waiting a bit lighter, I went ahead and bought the M1A1 from Trumpeter...hehehe

You been spying on your wife wrapping your present?! hehehe

Got my Trumpeter Leopold out of layaway Friday. My wife wrapped it and it is beside the tree. Too big to go under our 3 foot tree.
Now all I have to do is get the courage to build it.

Nothing like that under mine. If models come into my house, it's because I bring it in.

Hi, As it stands right now, there's a Tasca German Luch, Dragon's M1A1HA Abrams, and Tamiya's older M1 kit w/mine plow. On order is Dragon's T-34/40 andAcademy's 1/25 Panther. But these will have to wait on re-stocking after the first of the year.

But the first three are more than enough to keep me busy all the rest of the winter, and then some. Plus a few American Civil War books to round things out a bit. Man cannot live by plastic alone. Ha!

Take care, sgirty

I think I'll be getting 2 models this X'mas. The first one is a mystery model but I'm pretty sure it's a model. The second one is (if still in stock) Tamiya 1/16 MGunner in Maneuver or if not in stock then most likely a DML Panther A late.

If you're going to include the models I bought for myself then I bought DML 6127 Fallschirmjager hedgerow tank hunters & DML 6148 US Army Airborne (Operation varsity)

Merry Christmas to you all! (:-) (:-) (:-)

10 gifts under the tree from "Her Who Shall Be Worshipped"....all very 'kit-shaped'. I need clues as to one though, it's about 8 inches long, cylindrical, a bit thicker than an average thumb. She says it's for my hobby? Any suggestions?

Hiya Prop...I've allready got my X-mas present. It was a 105mm Sherman, with the Aber PE set, Jordi Rubio gun barrel, and the Fruil white metal tracks.
I've found in my scrapbos even some Verlinden stuff, i.g. the 105mm gun-mantlet...so I hope it's going to be a nice model!!!

B.t.w....I love my wife very much...

Merry X-mas and all the best for everybody, John.

Hey Mikeli! Why would she buy 8 inches at Ann Summers when she can have a 'natural' 10 any time she wants? Lol (I wish)........so does she for that matter!

Merry Christmas!
Vinnie
