Yeah, I pretty much slacked off. However, before all the hooplah started, I managed to do a little work on the bases. Call it an hour, being very generous because it's Christmas.

There is no great panic, though. I had this figured in and I should be getting a little more work today and probably back to regular schedule tomorrow.

The two platoons in basing are just waiting for the very final touches and then they are done. Then it's just the final stretch.

In other news, as you know Santa lives in Korvatunturi and therefore I got my presents already last night. Those of you living further away will be getting yours today most likely.

Santa must have seen my hobby plight and brought something to tinker with next year: A brand-spanking new 1/48 scale Zaku mega kit! You can see the 365 printed on the box? That's the height of the model once finished. And actually the most expensive thing about it is having it shipped from Japan. This should be a fun project.

Happy holidays everybody! Take it easy with the ham (or turkey), we'll be back with more updates tomorrow.

Figures remaining: 123

Total pledges: 30 GBP Red Cross Ebola Campaign

P.S. A life lesson I learned from my father:

The best way to make sure you get the presents you want is to buy them yourself.
