A Merry Christmas- from the Britpack!

[Mithras]

And to you too. That Cromwell is a thing of beauty.

Happy Christmas Roy to you and yours from Jan and I and to everyone one on the Forum,
It has to get better next year doesn't it?

[Estnische]

Good to see you around once more Roy!

Hey, Holiday ColemanCollector: "I see a Comet, but the other reindeer must be somewhere else." Hmm... Names like "Donner" and "Blitzen" certainly would work. But let me know when you see a tank named "Cupid."

Salutations (Moran Taing!), and greetings from the Highlands: Painless, Shaun, Adam, Mr Chef, Tom, Brett, Coleman (without the Ornette), Mithras (of obscure deity fame), and Doc for the drollery and seasonal wordplay. A mention of the Panzer IV inclines me to add this image of a wider 'pack' of functional 1/16 models. The Tamiya Panzer IV Ausf J is still waiting patiently for its Finnish camo. Next year, maybe. As a by the by, I hope Imgur never goes out of business, as most of my pics are stored there, including this one. :

I've not entirely forsaken the world of armour this year. I follow, for example, the regular videos published on Youtube published by the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum. If you're impressed by their restoration work- and who wouldn't be? you should see what happened, when a couple of their main men went to the jaw-dropping Polish 'Panzer Farm'. They were like kids in a sweetshop. The Panzer Farm not only produces parts from scratch, but even blueprints when the originals disappeared decades ago. Their use of CNC and computer tech should be quite instructive, even for those working in 1/16 scale. There's also a follow up on Youtube. Try not to drool too much!
And now, back to the month of unbridled self-indulgence! Merry Christmas!.

Coleman (without the Ornette)

Haha! Bass trombonist in high school and university. People frequently thought I was playing in Ornette's free jazz style. Sadly, I was just trying to read the sheet music!

Merry Christmas to you too Roy. I hope you and all who are looking in have a great Christmas. And don't spend too much money in Lapland. . . .

And my best holiday wishes to all on RCTW! May your dinners with relatives be in the demilitarized zone.

Thanks, Mick! Have a great Christmas, and it's good to hear from you. Did you ever build that Sherman, and have I missed it? In any event, all the best to you and yours!.
Doc, what a fine truck that is!. I wonder what German gunners might have made of a full scale version, truckin' along. Who knows, it might have spawned another local Christmas Truce. We have two mighty tussles going on in this pic. All settled amicably!. Next year, I intend to make my magnum opus tank clash video for Youtube.
(Wee white Scottish dogs will be excluded!). I thought I'd direct it under the nom de Guerre: 'Cecil B. De Military'. I might add some wholly inappropriate music, just for the sake of absurdity and fun (But not Benny Hill's famed 'chase' music)...

On a more seasonal note, Stereotyping would have us believe that this is the typical Highlander's daily consumption over Christmas but; in reality, these are just the chasers.
The empty whisky bottles need a truck to take them to the bottle bank!! Merry Christmas!
