What is this now? Let me try to wxplain.
Every month some guys (4-12) get together to talk about their model kits, the builds, problems and nonsense. Like an event. We call us self "Stammtisch Recklinghausen" (regular's table Recklinghausen)
Every year we gather together for a Christmas party. There we invented a tradition: each participant brings a wrapped model kit. They go into a bag. After couple of hours it's handing out of presents 🙂
After the exchange we decide a motto for the building of the gift. Then unwrapping and hoping, to get a kit what I like and not getting a kit, which I probably never had bought.
Then we have time to build it until the next Christmas party comes. We have to built it secretly 😉
And thouse cars where my presents so far 🙂:
