So, did anyone get anything model boaty or steamy for Xmas?

My OH picked up several dropped hints (and an e-mail) and I got a Mountfleet River Queen kit, which will shortly be the new home for my little SVS plant.

What did you get?

Here's one - but they didn't read my list properly so I'll have to send for a flywheel - and I might as well get the hex bolts at the same time  :D

One very smart lady got me a lovely boxed set of ME thread taps and dies.  I still don't know how she did it!!
