CAV forum Secret Santa...?

Just realized that when I signed up for this, I gave my office address, so I probably won't get my hands on mine until I get back from the holidays. If you ended up with me, don't get worried if I don't post about it until then, and hey, now I have something to look forward to when I go back to work! :)

Unless @jsalyers can contact the sender in time. Might not be headed your way yet. Might send him a PM as well.

Work Complete! It is in the post!  The line work is pretty rough.  My tremors have  been at an all time bad the last few months, I'm sorry in advance.   You may want to touch them up a bit. But I'm happy with the gradients & blending, which was more challenging on a mech than a regular figure.   The hat was sculpted by my wife, (Christine Van Patten)  Overall, I'm quite happy with it.

Eh, I'm fine. Like I said, it'll give me something to look forward to when I get back to work.

I had a package waiting on me yesterday when I got home.  MasterGunz's work is even better in person than I would have thought from the photos.  Thanks all for the fun, and thanks MasterGunz for the new showpiece of my collection.  

Tracking on mine shows a Fri. delivery.

Here is the latest addition to the 333rd Adon armored reserves. This militia unit is equipped with a just enough castoff and captured equipment to maintain their status as a 'fighting unit'. 

 

Intercepted Terran intelligence describes the unit as 'uncommonly good' and 'the Keeblers' despite the 333rds lack of actual combat experience.

 

Thanks to Jeneki for the most excellent tanks!

A box arrived on my doorstep! How mysterious!

Thanks to my Totally-No-Longer-Secret-Santa Savage Coyote, and to jsalyers for organising this! Looking forward to seeing everyone else's as they come in!

 

Sweet!  Glad it arrived in time!  It's always hit or miss shipping over the Pacific! :D

I received a curious tiny box in the mail. And a rather brilliantly wrapped object inside. lo and behold, it's the CAV SS! I love it. (pics soon^tm)

I really love the weathering on your model. There are plenty of places on the internet to see how to weather larger scale models but few that show how to do it on smaller models. Perhaps we could encourage you to write a little something up about how to do it...?

I updated the status of the first post to show whose models have shipped / been received.

 

Please post when you've received your model even if you choose not to open it until Christmas. It helps us track who has received their gift and who we might need to supply a replacement painter for.

 

Please include a photo or two and some idea of how you plan to use the model. The SS exchange is really about camaraderie and fellowship both of which require communication.

In case you hadn't seen it Pegazus went all out on his WIP for the CAV SS.

Haha, glad you enjoy it! Seriously trying to get out to reapercon this year, we'll see if I get lucky enough to go!

Against all odds, the mail truck came today with a package for me! I open it and lo and behold inside is a Starhawk! Thanks @hjorhrafn! It's a significant departure from the color schemes I usually do, so I look forward to using it as a study to incorporate more greens and tans into my future work.

 

Merry Christmas all!
