Secret Santa 2025!

[Pagumb]

After a delivery of @Mad Robot bits my Yakmas conversion is built. Onto painting and basing.

 

[katfezza]

I have converted and painted a thing for the recipient. Need to get it varnished and boxed up at some point so I can post it well in advance of any seasonal postal issues. My work is going to be super busy so I wanted it done and dusted before I run out of time.

 

[radulykan]

Glad to hear people are getting stuff done!

 

[SirFrog]

I've had some luck in raiding the local club bitz box for supplies, and that's all I'll say - anymore and I'd be inadvertently give a lot of the fun!

 

[Sturkas]

I'm building I'm building, hoping to throw som paint on it this weekend

 

[Punktaku]

I’m ready to varnish and ship!

 

[MedMos]

I've built, ready for primer!

 

[Sturkas]

The paint has been thrown at the mini.

 

[Punktaku]

Holy crap! It’s almost December already! These need to be shipped so they arrive before Santa does?

To the postie! Music!

Spoiler: Music!

 

[Jon Reinhardt]

Mine is in Transitt.

 

[Sturkas]

Ho Ho Ho package on the way

 

[MusingWarboss]

If we’re making the toys, painting the toys and sending them to Secret Santa to deliver…

…does that make us elves??

 

[SirFrog]

To preserve some degree of mystery, at some point in the last two weeks, I have finished and posted my miniature!

...In hindsight, with the way the postal services tends to work around Christmas, I suspect it wouldn't matter that I obfuscate the real postal date buuuuut hey, why not.

I've also left my gift in the care of my LPSTE (Local Postal Service Teenage Employee). I shall light a thousand candles and bathe my firstborn in goats blood. Or cross my fingers? The crossing fingers thing is probably more appropriate...

Model finished, just needs to be posted.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

The unplanned pause due to organ malfunction is over, will get the model off and away tomorrow, if the post office is open.

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

Post office was closed on Monday due to holidays (confound you, Virgin Mary!) but the package went on its merry way into the unknown yesterday.

 

[MedMos]

Well, the delivery service was kind enough to inform me who my secret santa is. Very difficult to keep secrets in this day and age... (Feeling old now)

 

[SuboptimusPrime]

I would invite you to test out my memory erasure device, but it's still in its experimental stage. Meaning that so far, it's mostly still just a big bottle of vodka.
