Santa brought me...............Figures or coal

[Guy]

Lets try this again. Lesson learned.....never try to change the topic title while drinking Christmas cheer........result = posting was accidentially deleated.

I thought it would be interesting to hear what the members recieved from their families in the figure / reference area. Here's what Santa brought me:

Pegaso 1/5th scale Lightbringer bust
Pegaso 90mm Ivan The Terrible
Verlinden 200mm 3rd New Jersey Cavalry Fighting Butterflies bust
Book: Paul Calle, An Artist Journey
Book: The Art of John Clymer
Book: 2 different titles on Ghengis Khan

I hope you all got that special figure you have been wanting.

My first grandchild! OK - she was a very early Christmas present! 111806 - Alexandra (Sascha) Brooke Morton, 9 lbs 2 ozs, mother and baby thriving!

Now THAT'S a Christmas present!

All the best,
Dan

Congrats, Dan!

BTW, I didn't get any figures or related reference, but my wonderful wife did get me a satellite radio for listening to in my workshop WHILE I work on figures, so it's related.

At Christmas I never get any figures, I give away completed figures.

This year I gave away:

2 120mm Medieval Knights by Verlinden
1 90mm VI century pikeman by Border
Cpt Patrick Henry (conversion of Lt. Corey) by Michael Roberts
Roman Centurion (at the foot of the Cross) by EVD

If I can find out if they have a family coat -of-arms I'll find the appropriate knight and paint that, or something from the recievers favorite era.

It makes for an awesome gift and I don't have to fight crowds and I can start early, and its one of a kind!!

I like making them and they love recieving them. This works for me!!

God Bless
Cory

Hi Guys
This is what Santa bought me The very very nice man!!
I could not be bothered to write it all out so I thought I would do it this way
First this is me and my assistant "Benson" at our work station!

The second is me with my "Goodies" You can almost see me drooling!!

And the last is me drooling over my favorite one to paint!

I hope you all have a great new year and may your brushes never get dry!

Cheers

John

No figures ( as usual ).
But I thought this was a super nice gift:

Eagles 23 Cowboys 7

They were 'owned'!!!

:lol:

Well, for me neither figures nor coal but real inspiration. My wife indulged me with a beautiful framed print of Troiani's "New Yorks Bravest". My personal favorite of all of Troiani's works. Go 11th and 69th NY !!!

For those not familiar...

No figures this year as I am waiting on Sergey's Indian on horseback that was an SBS in the web site. Also waiting on the new Captain Jack that was also on this site. Meanwhile I still have plenty to do.
Happy New Year,
Cheers
John

Santa never brings me any figures, got an xbox 360 instead though. What a lovely man..

 

[Dan Morton]

Sorry...I can't resist. A Sascha update. In this picture she's cooing at her Daddy.

There's not a Smilie with a smile big enough to represent me right now....

All the best,
Dan

I rather buy my figurines myself but I've got some very interesting history books. One on the Spanish civil war (anthony Beevor) one about Ceasar crossing the Rubicon and one about Archaeology.

And my congratulations with your grandchild, Dan
That's the best gift hey?
