Joseph to you as well, many, many thanks! I believe you are single-handedly rebuilding his armour stash! Sending those kits is more than enough!
Once again all I can say is Thank You, looking at that list, Thank you, just doesn’t seem enough!

I am sending some greenery he asked me for last week as well as some resin a friend of mine makes. An Aussie digger figure and a set of heads with slouch hats.
Costas you will get the greenery first and hopefully the figures and heads about a fortnight after.

Hi guys, I have tossed a few tools and kits in the package i was going to send to Costas as well. As far as mailing glue goes I have mailed CA to him before thru the mail and have two bottles of glue going in this package too. We have never had a problem with the postal authorities over this. So to answer the question posted earlier it has worked in the past. Cheers Kevin

Went through my pile and found something.
So a 1/16 medieval crossbow (what else...) soldier will be on its way to Greece (oops, forgot to look at the make, but I think it is Andrea).
Once bought a couple of different crossbow subjects, but I came to the conclusion that a) I'll probably never find the time for them b) I'll never be able to make it in a decent way... So I better can help a fellow modeller with it.
Costas have fun with it.

Hey Gang,
Costas is half my age and twice my talent, so I will be offering him his choice of one of my two prize kits if he likes the genre. They intimidate me anyway.
They were gifted to me and I can't think of a better thing to do with them than to share. One is Plusmodels Praga AV (P/N 101) and the other is Plusmodels Tatra 57 Kubelwagen (P/N 097). They're worth about $100 to $135, so if he wants one for a dio, it's his. I think one of them won an international medal for manufacturers.
Also, I will share some of my desparately hoarded dio material including rubberized horsehair (for scenery), horsehair, corn silk, various Woodland Scenics foliage, bushes, clumps, turf, static grass, etc.
I will send several pounds of Celluclay, Sculpey, jeep photos and Osprey's "U.S. Army 1941-1945".
Then, because he was too gracious to accept a gift certificate, I will keep the above from rattling in the box by stuffing it with styrene, bass wood and whatever else I choose, because its my stuff and I can do whatever I want with it. Right? Hey, my wife loves Greek salad, so what choice did I have?

Hmmm...Costa's galleries is full of figures.
I have a lot of Italeri 1/72nd scale Greek Warriors, Crusades and some other set. (The ones that look like detailed toy soldiers). I've used a lot of these in my tabletop wargames.
I'm not sure if Costas would be interested in doing these but hey, these are figures models.
I might also be able to spare some kits or tools or something.
Can someone PM me his address?

Packed up so far for Costas:
set of 10 brushes, flat/round
Hot glue gun w/glue sticks.
I also have an older airbrush I never used (sorry, no compressor), but I see somebody else has one too. If you could use an extra one, let me know and I'll send it. Still looking for more....

P.S.-I'd like to cast an early vote for user of the month-Savage!
