That's pretty cool Carlos.

It makes me laugh how small these things are - when I worked at Lockheed we had a 3D printer in the office next to my desk - it was the size of one of those massive free-standing photocopiers for the same size bed.

I had to move desks after a while, the blooming smell of the resin kept giving me headaches. Very interesting technology though - Even back in 2010 I had a feeling it'd have an impact on modelling.

Christmas Kit! (I do actually have another on the way but the shop was shut for a few days so I won't get it until next week). One of my Aims in 20206 is to learn more about the war in North Africa, and built some models from that theatre, as both my Great Uncles served there. One in the Royal Artillery and the other in the SAS.

And in true Christmas style - I've already started it and built up the Christie suspension. Makes a nice change to actually start a kit on the day you received it.

Marry Christmas all! :grin:

The missus told me order whatever you want for Christmas from her. Here's what I ordered...

My son gave me a $40 gift card to Hobbytown. Guess where I'm heading tomorrow? :whistle: :giggles:

A great haul and subject! I did the Stuart tank of the African Campaign.

Tom, thats a nice pair of kits you picked up for Christmas! Enjoy!

Stuart, you're gonna love the Italeri Crusader kit. Ive built a few and thoroughly enjoyed each one.

Ive built the Mk.III twice, the Mk.II, and the 20mm AA. I have the Mk.I in my stash and would like to get another Mk.II to do the later version without the hull MG turret and the 40mm AA tank. But that one I would modify to the production type instead of the test variant that Italeri chose to release...

That is a great haul. I've got the Porsche, but I'll take the rest. :tongue:
