Thread: What pressies did Santa bring.

  1. #1

    Default What pressies did Santa bring.

    I can now reveal that in addition to the usual scarf, CD's et al Santa brought me the following:-

    Four books on WWI Aviation.
    Six new model aircraft to build and
    A new Games Mat from Terrain Mats.

    My first three shapeways aircraft - fortunately hot water put one of them back into shape - Two Tom Clancy books, a Dragon 1/72 AAV7 & Hummer for FoF, Flashpoint for the 360 & Senna DVD (thanks son) and 14months of Xbox Live Gold. Did I say how much I love my wife ?!

    I got a 1/6th scale Nieuport 28C-1 from BalsaUSA. (!!!)

    Actually its a big box of sticks and an instruction manual.

    Heaven!

    Now I just need to learn to fly before I have it put together.

    Merry Christmas to all and I hope you all got the planes you wanted.

    Of my WOW related gifts, I was floored when I received a WWI Revised Deluxe Set. I thought I lost my chance on getting one.

    I also got 2 German WOW planes. An LFG Roland C. II and an Albatros D. VA.

    The only wargames related item I got was a copy of Norman Friedman's new book on WW1 naval weapons. Other than that a blu ray player and AV receiver to go with the new telly, a million socks and some decent new gloves (likely to be very useful in a month or so!). The house is also strewn with hex bots, Skylanders and piles of children's books and novels oh, and Laura got a rolling pin and a chocolatiere - not normal presents for a 10 year old )

    From my wife, a WWI aviation book (Color Profiles of WWWI combat Aircraft). From the kids, A burning wreck cart wheeling into the ground, again.
    All in all, a wonderful Christmas, books and family gaming.

    Due to some interesting mix-ups with an Amazon.com wishlist, I have three identical French Breguet 14s, one American Breguet 14, and a Rumpler. Now I can fly a flight of them against my daughter and see how she fares against them. Also, two Osprey books, one on the early German aces and one on Jasta Boelcke. Merry Christmas all!

    Thumbs up

    No WoG Stuff except what I have purchased myself & will pick up at Cancon plus some Aerodrome Accessories stuff.
    However the Family were most generous as apart from the Tiger Moth Flight (still to come!) I got the Senna DVD, a Inspector Banks DVD, big carton of Dilmah Italian Almond Tea bags, Bottle of Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce, a Twinings Teas Corgi Model T Van, Nice pair Leather sandals, More Tea in a Tin, Shortbread Biscuits, my flight to Qld & assorted other small items. Santa was generous so I must have been fairly good.

    Hah! Forced by circumstance into WOW WWII! Gave my sister in law a want list with the Big WOW sale from a couple weeks ago and ended up with a Zero, Hurricane, 109 and Spitfire, and a spare Bregeut 14.

    Best Sister in Law ever!

    Since my dear missus is still a bit shy on buying WoG related stuff over the Net, I got lots of love and WoG unrelated gifts from her. Having a great time here in snowy hills.... Rescued a lost puppy yesterday and found his owner by sheer coincidence. Poor lil' thing decided we were his saviours, followed us for the whole day... As it turned out, he was right... Felt real good, too.

    Filled the missing part myself and got me a Short Bomber, Caudron G.4, two Airco D.H.2 and an Albatros D.Iii as my second batch of 3D printed models - arrived on dec. 23rd! Talk about perfect timing! All in perfect shape. Plus Peter Kilduff's excellent "Red Baron" digital book.

    grumpy enjoy your mat. I have been using one of theirs for some time now. I also have one I bought to play naval battles. They cost but are worth the price. Have a happy and safe New Year.

    I gave my kids some neat stuff, including what is going to be a horribly addictive collectible miniatures game for their PS3. Yes, old tech meets new. The guys who designed this game deserve an award.

    For my wife, two books on the Titanic and a cd of music played on same.

    Me? The best thing was probably a check, that I'm going to spend on 3d printables.

    My wonderful fiancé gave me the following:

    Three Shapeways planes - Sopwith Triplane, Farman F.40 and a Caproni. They all looked a lot better than I expected. Not as rough as I thought.
    Four movies on Blueray - the Bourne trilogy and "All quiet on the western front". Sweet!
    A game for the PS3 - Tomb Raider Trilogy.

    Well done mates!

    I received some much needed clothes (I never buy for myself), DVDs and a few games my kids want to play. The greatest gift was having all of my siblings (with their kids), parents and my kids together for Christmas. A packed house to be sure!

    My wife offered me the Revised WoW WW1 Deluxe Edition. What else there is to say? The best part is that she will play it with me.
