Happy Holidays all.
I am pretty new to this super site butnow I can't keep off it.

Each year I build a quick model for my brother-in-law who enjoys motorcycles. I try to incorporate a motorcycle, the holiday and WWII modeling into a quick simple build for myself. I have just about run out of motorcycles to model.

Below is this years model. I did not spend much time on it to make it correct and such. Just something to get me in the holiday spirit and give him a chuckle. Please don't interpret that I think Santa was a Nazi. Just that both sides (Allies and Axis) enjoyed the holidays.

Merry Christmas.

M38: Very Nice !!
And Yes you have to admit, that sometimes even in WAR TIME, Especially in the 2 Great Wars, Both SIdes observed Christmas in thier own way. Something that oddly enough we (The German and the Allied soldiers) both shared in common. And even
briefly halted the fighting in the trenches and along the front lines on at least one occassion
in order to observe this special day. So Yeah your model is pretty cool. And OH Yeah..
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!

I like it! This is really a pretty neat idea. What kinds of other things have you done in the past? Any more pictures? By the way, welcome to the site, kind of late wishing you this but better late than never.
