I think our wives (or in my case girlfriend) would be very upset knowing that our favorite valentines gift came from someone we've never met.... :bangpan:

My Secret Santa was very generous.
I got a Squirrel Works Nick Adams Interstellar Probe kit, a Gordon 33pc. Deluxe Hobby Knife Set including a Mini Screwdriver set with 6 bits, a Top Flight 15" chute and a box of Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark Squares.
Thanks You Secret Santa.

Better late than never....
Here is my SS haul and a little surprise I got with a Microsoft return address.
The Space Ark model was a pleasant surprise from Glenn Bedford that arrived yesterday. Since it was a mystery box I had it probed and X-Ray'd but it turned out to be benign. It was the best surprise gift I have had in ages.

Tony,
you're welcome! Enjoy...you do great paint work, I'm still trying to nail down a good paint procedure. The whole sand, fill,sand fill, sand, phil, thing gets me down sometimes and don't quite seem to finish projects I'm working on it though, a resolution to clean up the unfinished projects pile...

Layne that model is on my wish list (as well as your flying version). Pegasus Hobbies makes some great sci-fi models, their War of The Worlds Copper plated invader space ships are cool as are the Galaxy Quest ship and Area 51 UFO...

Mines almost done! Just needs one part that I have on the way, and I need to fill the nasty dings that magically appeared* on the nosecone

*My brother got an R/C helicopter, and the major ding appears to be about the size of the blade. :eyeroll:

Someone sent Papa Elf a $10 flis giftcard. I used it to get a Tartar. Thanks =)
Did everyone get a gift this year? There was a couple ppl on the list I have not heard back from.

Just got back home last night and was too tired from 26 hours of driving to open up my SS gift. So I finally opened it up just now. Wow, a FlisKits USS Grissom! I've been wanting one of these for ages! I am now one happy sweat hog! Thank you, Secret Santa!
(I had received my package earlier this month, but I left it at home when I went to Florida for two weeks. Today was our much-delayed gift opening day.)

Very nice! That's what my dad got as well. You'll probably finish before he does

I'm having an O. Henry moment here. I am the person who gave your dad Brian his USS Grissom. :surprised:Very nice! That's what my dad got as well. You'll probably finish before he does

With any luck, by this time tomorrow I'll be home and will hopefully find my SS gift there waiting for me. Sounds like I'll be the last person to open their gift. I will, of course, promptly report my find.

I feel as if there should be a hole tearing open in the universe somewhere.:wink:

Your welcome Mark.
The Grissom is a great kit. I've got one that I bought from Jim at a NEMROC back in the late 80's way before there was a FlisKits.

And I hand turned every one of those darned nose cones myself! Man... That's why I only made about 10 of those kits way back then...

Jim had a supply of those needle-thin BT-2s even back then? :surprised:Your welcome Mark.

I actually used the Apogee PT-2 phenolic tubing, which was good in the respect that they were much stiffer. The down side is that if you got a too aggressive ejection charge it could blow the tubes apart...

I'm thinking of the MTTM downscale now. Let's see, if I use LL-0 for the ducts ...
... toothpicks to couple 2 or 3 of them together to get the right length, and also for the cones on the ends ...
... The LL-0 duct tubes would not be functional at this scale, of course ...

Thanks. Let see what they have to say first, but I don't think getting me something should fall on your shoulders.
