The Beach Boys Christmas album, Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown album, Paul McCartney's Wonderful Christmas Time and John Lennon So This is Christmas. Some of the Dean Martin, Andy Williams older stuff and yes, Trans Siberian Orchestra is good. Throw in some Burl Ives. I HATE HATE Jingle Bell Rock and Rock Around the Christmas tree. Hated those since I was a kid and they still make me cringe today.

I'm humored right now with a package coming from UPS as the tracking says it will be delivered Sunday by 9 pm. UPS doesn't deliver on Sunday which means they may give it to the USPS who does deliver on the weekend but I'm expecting it won't be delivered this weekend and I'll see it Monday or Tuesday or......

Human nature is to complain about things that happen but we don't say anything when things go well. Many times the "irked" subject matter can be entertaining though.

Excellent build! Nice photography too.

You guys are on a roll!

Henry Winkler in An "American" Christmas Carol is one I really like. It's from 1979 and depicts the old era and I think he does a good job. In fact I have the DVD I thought it was so good.

Not a big deal but I would toss a message to everyone that they may not have anything now but to be sure to tune in next month. Keeps us wringing our hands in antipicatation.

Excellent! I remember this car back in the day. Thanks for reminding me of the fond memories.

I seem to remember a review of the Grumpy's Vega and they said it was wrong in so many ways. I built the USA-1 Vega many many years ago but don't know if it was just as wrong as the Grumpy one. I do recall enjoying the kit though.

Don't feel bad. Motorsport magazine out of England arrives 1-2 months later than it used to.

Very fun to look at. The guy with his shirt off appears to want the attention drawn to him. Great job on this!

That is a great looking model! The paint scheme had to be a real pain but it's perfect. Really great to look at this!

Sometimes just knowing a model is coming is good enough for me. Exact dates are never right but eventually it will be here and that's what I look forward to. Once you have it the anticipation is over.

I do my model and supply shopping online because there are no real hobby shops near me. I wait until there are a few models I really want and add any paints I need to my order and I'm good for awhile. When a Hobby Lobby opened a few years ago just a mile away I was able to take advantage of their 40% off coupon for paint whenever I needed it and rarely bought a model. Now that they did away with that convenient coupon I rarely go there except for the other day when I realized I was out of a certain color paint.

I think it's funny when Bad Santa is on one of the regular channels and they have to cut so much out of the movie. No point in showing it. btw, not a movie but I have to watch my Red Green Christmas show every year.

I needed a can of paint so went there yesterday and the cashier was nice enough to check to see if it might be on sale. I knew it wasn't but good for her. Oh, and the usual selection of the same old models.

Huge fan of Jim Carrey and the Grinch movie. Of course Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, and a couple other favorites are Fred Claus and Four Christmases. My wife likes the old classics like Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life and those Bing Crosby ones but they don't do much for me.

Very nice. Was a big fan of her. You did good.

I'm buying one!

Really like the look of this! The stance, just raced look, and the dirty tire lettering is great.

That's a good looking model and yes, those headers look good in flat black.

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for the picture showing no parachute. Well, thanks for the other picture too. LOL

Used to be the norm but nowadays they might chase you down and shoot you.

While building this kit I just noticed there is no parachute included. Odd omission but I can grab one from my parts bin.

The Henry J is really the only one I've been looking forward to. The Salt Shaker is another one but that's all I planned to buy for awhile. Hoped to be working on the Henry J this winter. We'll see.
