Nothing for me, but I ordered for myself the Ammo/Mig IDF Special Edition paint set, and the Michael Rinaldi Tank Art 1, 2 and 4 books.

Wife gave me money so I can buy kits & modelling stuff, etc.

I put together a modeling tool set and wrapped up several Snap-tight kits for my grand-son. He loved it. We (mostly me) put them together. Great little kits for beginners...
Trying to get the next generation hooked...

Bought my niece and nephew some of Meng's World War Toons. I will be donating some of my tools to help introduce them to the hobby.

Santa brought Canfora's AFV PHOTO ALBUM 3. Great book about Panhters.

I just ordered some goodies to celebrate the end of the year:

1.Tamiya Willys jeep.
2.Alpine Miniatures US Army jeep driver, US Army infantryman and some spare US heads wearing helmets.
3. Squadron Signal US Jeeps in Action.
4. Vallejo Olive Drab primer and Panzer Aces Canvas paint.
I am modelling towards the end of year with a bang!

I got a new Iwata Neo pistol grip air brush, new hose, quick disconnect, and six or eight tweezers in a couple packs. My AMK Tom Cats didn't make it, so that's a little disappointing. Oh and I almost forgot; a new Asuka M32 and a Tamiya Firefly.

gary

I got as presents from family, the Meng PLZ-05 Chinese SPG and Tiger Model BMPT-72 Terminator 2.

I treated myself to the Meng M3A3 Bradley, Bronco 41M Turan 2, Tiger Model Leopard 2 Revolution 1, Takom Merkava 2b (Lucky Models flat $2 shipping special). I probably won't see those kits arrive until April though.

Nothing here except a wallet (empty) and underwear (luckily also empty).

Well seasons greetings to all successful modellers. My biggest win was finally receiving a BMPT by Jan Etal, on Flickr and it was accompanied by a dastardly flying object in the form of IL-2 by Jan Etal, on Flickr

Also along for the ride was a set of small sealable containers for paint mixing, a set of fine liner paint brushes and a hobby related credit amount for future purchases. All in all a quite successful hobby related hall compared to years gone by.

Cheers,
A Happy Modeller

No kits, but the wife gave me a Hallmark ornament of an M4A3 Sherman to hang on the tree next year.

My wife had a retirement party for me on the 16th and my cousin gave me a $100.00 gift card from Spruebrothers.I plan to turn it into a Trumpeter SADF Rooikat,among other things

Haven't picked up anything as yet, but then again Christmas here ain't over till the Feast of the Three Kings!

My wife bought me a LED desk lamp to help light my model desk, also a magnifier set to help me see better. She also gave a $50 visa card which will towards supplies.
My son got me Kitty Hawks AH/MH6j Littlebird.
I'm happy, model making got a little easy. time to clean up the shelf queens.

My Sweetie got me Dragon's new version (I think) Kugelblitz. Looks like lotsa detail in the ball turret. Hope most of it shows with an open hatch.
I hope that everybody had an excellent Christmas filled with family & friends. Wishing all an awesome 2018 filled with a whole lot of fun, good health AND plenty of bench time !

I got paintbrushes and a magnifier from the girlfriend and got myself the Tamiya Opel Blitz, quad flak, ICM L1500A, Trumpeter Kanonwagen railcar, Miniart Country Diorama, Miniart Polish house, AMT Mack Cruiseliner, Tamiya Simca 5, & a few other things I've forgotten I'm sure!! My new year's resolution is to live to 600 so I can build my stash!!!

No models here just the ones I bought, but was a great day.
Wish more family was left.

Happy New Year to all
Cheers

I have a metal 76mm M1 for this Jumbo..building this variant.





I got this Hetzer after 3 other kits...Older DML, Cyberhobby..Academy (2),Trumpeter..I hate the front sprocket assembly...so I got this for that purpose..yes..I had to gift this to myself lol...but..as I was saying. I have this pair of Fruil Winterketten tracks for this Hetzer...so..if you ever plan of building a Hetzer with these tracks ..use the Tamiya kit. For me IMHO..it is just easier.


Yes..this kit is huge. I wanted to build some attack planes in 1/32 but I told myself..you can only build a few because I know how I get....hooked. This one will be done later as I have Sherman addiction at the moment lol.

Alpine double figures x4
Takom Panther in future
I got the Miniart SU-122 before Christmas so it don't count ..plus about 5 other kits...sigh.

My wife and I don't exchange gifts so I ordered some stuff for myself: Heller Samur and Koufra diorama sets, AFV Club AEC Mammoth (Captured German version) and some OLD issues of Military Modeler. My wife gets what she wants. It's a win/win situation.😉

My fiancee got me the Hobby Boss Panzer IV Ausf. C and preordered the RFM Panther Ausf. G limited edition version.

Got the great slat armor set from Shapeways for the dutch version of Trumpeter Fennek ! The quality is very impressive.

Had a nice new little M47 from Takom.

Wow, that's nice, Jan. My present to self was some Alex Miniatures figures to go with my Zvezda Terminator - I know these are the armed drug squad, but I liked the poses the best, so I'm going with it, maybe I'll leave out the dog... And they just arrived this morning!!




Hm... what happened there then? Someone thought you should do something different?

I got some Vallejo putty and an AK Dunkelgelb shades paint set - tactically placed on Amazon wish list, within daughter's spending range

Happy New Year to all. Now to get some more model making in while the holiday lasts.

A couple of Roden 8 inch howitzer kits are on their way, purchased with Christmas $

I received a tamiya M4 105, Opel blitz truck, some massive Soviet howitzer on tracks, a king tiger, a Sherman easy eight, and a generous sum of money which has slowly been shrunk due to an Italeri easy eight and Tamiya's panther A (for the memories.) Ahh...lovely.
