SPA Modeler

Yeah the only problem is the shipping cost. I shipped one model and it cost $20 and it was a small one.

You muricans seem to be in a postage sink hole. I could get cheaper postage to and from the UK when i was in NZ than i can get to and from the US now that im in canada

Don't worry about it - once Trump invades Canada and you guys become 51st state it'll lower the postage no problem!

LOL... I don't see that happening. Same for Greenland and Gaza.

Let's not turn this into a political thread...

Hey, I kinda like the guy - but right enough. I did think that one was funny though.

I got the joke immediately.... No worries....

That...went sideways quick.

Anyhoo...

Europe/USA categories? Or potentially have a "Veto i cant afford postage" option? Im not sure, that when it starts getting pricey.

I think with the secret santa ones we all bought locally online for our respective people.
Maybe we just stick with that? And if people want to send from their own stash they can?

So it would be,
1. people share a wishlist with the mods. (wishlist must be reasonable, not just a single out of print kit thats going to cost several hundred to buy)
2. mods partner people up anonymously
3. Purchase or post from your stash something on your recipients wishlist.
4. Give a "build window" i.e kit to be built within 12 months of receipt maybe? can hash this out.
5. Progress logs like usual
6. Upon completion the sender can reveal themselves along with if they took from their own stash or bought new.

Does that sound reasonable?

Cool Idea. Running off now to remove kits from my stash list that I don't want folks to know I have...
