Secret Santa 2010

[Captain Canada]

We had CDNs last year...or did Gary just send me kits because I'm so good looking ? Mind you, in retrospect.....I never finished mine ! But that, my friends, is another story.....

[puddingwrestler]

Phil; you can still take part, you just don't go in the gift exchange part. If you fail to build last year's gift this year, then you must hang your head in shame.

[pyro-manic]

If I build last year's pressie NOW, can I take part? I know what I want to do, but have just been to scared to try it!

[thedarkmaster]

If I build last year's pressie

Is it the one i sent you......I can get another if you **** up 

[pyro-manic]

Yeah, the Polar Lights Explorer delta thingy.

[thedarkmaster]

Go then do it and if you mess up I will get you another....How's that ?

[ChernayaAkula]

Okay, so we can build last year's presents in this year's GB (X-Mas till Easter) and won't have hang our head in shame?
Count me in, then. Still have a lovely 1/72 Hunter F.6 to build that I got from Amphion (  ). Me thinks it'll be an Italian Hunter.

It looks like I will be able to participate in the Secret Santa GB again this year.   I wonder what kind of challenge someone will find for me.

If you were in last year and did not build your present, you can enter it in this year's GB. If you still fail to build it, you MUST return it to the sender. I can tell you who that was and give addresses etc. if you forget.

A further rules update: Complete kits only; no foisting your spare parts off on people. You can send spare parts with a kit, or alternate decals or something, but each present MUST contain on complete kit.

My current calculations indicate we have the following:
EIGHT present exchange participants
TWO non-exchanging participants building things from last year.
I may be wrong (so of you posted replies without indicating if you were in or not)

I aim to have entries close on th first of december, and get recipiant lists out by the second of december giving people 23 days to get things to thier destinations (if we turn out to have any extreme distance transfers, like someone in Iceland sending things to Australia or such like) I'll try to inform those people earlier to allow more time.

Also, anyone who has siblings on the forum (I think me and DF are the only ones) or who spends christmas with other forum members anyway let me know - I don't want siblings exchanging. DF and I did it last year, and it seemed pretty stupid since all his other presents to me were models anyway. I'd like the exchangists to be acquaintences who would not swap presents if it were not for the SSGB10

[puddingwrestler]

Anyone else want to join in? You've still got two weeks to sign up!

All those who have concented to take part MUST PM me thier real name and postal address by the end of the month or they will not be included. Even if you sent me your details last year, send them again so I don't get anything wrong 
Especially if you've moved house. I know I have.
If you don't PM me soon, I'll PM you with a reminder.



And remember, a model is for life, not just christmas.
