schnu Posted November 12, 2014 #1 Posted November 12, 2014 Hi there, I am not sure if there is already such a topic, if there is please delete this one and I will search again. Anyway I was wondering what you are planning to get for Christmas, or what would be a good Christmas wish. (Preferably something to do with ship modelling ^^) In your opinion what are the best tools and equipment to get for Christmas (for experienced or novice modellers)? texxn5 1
