What's this? Came home from work because my wife notified me that the last box for my Secret Santa giftee had arrived, and so I needed to get everything wrapped and shipped off. Lo and behold, another box had arrived!

The box counts as a gift too, because I reused it to ship my items out. Thanks!

Oho! Presents!

Custom tags, yeah! I'm keeping those. I really like the personalized touch. Such great artwork!

Woah. Is that what I think it is?

Itis!Ohmygoodnessit'safloatingDeathStarspeaker!

So freakin' cool!

Aha, the second gift! Clearly Santa looked through my posts, because I don't think I mentioned Skyrim anywhere else. I started playing Skyrim this year and absolutely love it. This dragon kit is awesome!

Parts and instructions. Cleanly made and detailed.

Toddler wanted to help. Claimed it was too hard. Settled for watching.

So cool! Haven't decided if it's going to the mancave or at the work desk, but I'm excited to show it off.

Death Star takes its place among the nativity scene. Looks very natural there. Historically accurate, I'm sure. Played The Imperial March as the first song, of course. Had a stupid grin on my face for the duration of the song. Truly wonderful.

Thank you so much @Cantelopes for the amazing gifts. I made an Imgur account because, as a former lurker, I saw how enjoyable gifting through the Secret Santa exchange was, and wanted to partake this year. This has been so much fun, shopping for somebody I don't know to try to make their Christmas a little merrier, and receiving such great presents from another internet stranger. Merry Christmas everybody!

I always wondered if the North Star really was the Death Star in the Story of Christ. Now I know.

Dont wanna backseat model or anything, but grab an xacto (the kind with multiple blade types) and get rid of them mold lines amd sprue nubs.

Also, if you want to get CRAZY, find some minwax polyshade and some mineral spirits, and do the dip method.

What is the dip method?

When I dip, you dip. We dip.

it's quick and dirty, but it gives pretty good results. The other options are to learn to paint or send to someone and commission them.

The dragon feels very centerpiece-y, and personally I wouldn't dip method a centerpiece. It can be a bit splotchy imo.
