Hi Guys, just checking in to see how all is going. The place looks great and lots of new stuff going on here. That's cool. Been working hard for the last year gutting and remodelling my house. Was offline for a long while on and off while remodelling went on it the living room and also made a new purchase in the middle of all that. Glad to see all you guys are still into it. Happy Holidays to all!

Welcome back GP! Reading your post reminded me of the first time I found your original website and began this hobby. What a blast it has been ever since. Wish you and yours a very Mery Christmas!

Wow....

Thanks for the well wishes guys. Fantastic to hear from you all. Am I collecting... not to much right now ( mostly WWII & VN DVD collecting :) . I pretty much liquidated my 54mm painted metal collection. Just didn't make sense anymore to have all that money tied up and sitting collecting dust. I still have a bunch of XD and 32X stuff new in package wholed away. It's not going anywhere. Pretty much these days I spend most of my spare time in the woodshop either working on a remodel project or building furniture, etc. another long time hobby of mine. I still am a huge fan of WWII and VN, especially US forces. I have a decent size collection of 28mm war gaming figures that and i want to start war gaming some day and I have alot of figures to paint up when I have more spare time.
The place looks great, was suprised to see it looking the same after all this time! Obviously I made the right choice and handed it off at the right time as it appears to have not skipped a beat! P-51 and Andrew, awesome job guys! That is cool to see. With my work schedule, remodel schedule and the kids, I know I did the right thing. I will try to make it back here more often guys, good to hear from you all,
Best wishes,
GP

Glad to see you post here once again, GP! Thanks for the kind comments to the board and we hope to see you more often. Glad you think it really hasn't changed all that much - P51 did a good job with the crossover and you legacy, among other aspects, can still be seen in the "gpxd" portion of this site's web address! The world of Small Scale Military collecting is really taking off at the moment, so we hope to see you post again soon!

Welcome back!!!! Yes, this forum is going very well thanks to P-51 and Aferg. But, it all would'nt have been possible without your initial initiative to start up this message board. You will always be remebered as the "father" of XD forums. Take Care and have a Happy Holdiay Season!
