Title: Squee!!!
Post by: Plasticoutsider on 02 July 2014, 10:50:25 AM
Excited!
My latest Pendraken order arrived just now.  Completely unexpected - haven't even got a confirmation email yet; super-quick service as usual. 
People at work are beginning to notice alarmingly heavy, small brown envelopes being delivered with some regularity.

That's unfair actually.  My (considerably) better other half is very supportive of my little man malady.  Keeps me busy. 
I get stuff delivered to work because I seemed to be spending every Saturday morning at the Postal Sorting Office, collecting parcels that were delivered while we were both at work.  I also enjoy seeing the looks on the faces of people I work with when a hundred or so 10mm metal toy soldiers hit my desk.
It's the little things

Yum! That's the kind of sophisticated humour I've come to expect here...
And anyway, I reckon we've all ingested enough metal filings and paint fumes over the years to ensure our constitutions are robust enough.

Hiding in plain sight is the best method.  My box of unpainted 1:72 Napoleonic British doubled quietly yesterday.

Especially as most significant others do not know a Sherman Tank  from a Saxon. May thier ignorance long continue ;)

While there is a Saxon APC, I was refering to a person of  the Gemanic Tribal group who iinvaded England in some 1500 years ago.

However you could tell my better half any tank was a Saxon, a Celt or even an ancient assyrian war machine and she would not query you.

On the Saxon theme, it was the Conquest I had in mind - foundation stone of the British class system - batardes -  :(
