Really interesting choices but with my teacher's hat on you cannot put a Renaissance set in as the best medieval set.{sm4}

Nevertheless, thank you for the opportunity to add my first ever 'rivet counting' contribution after almost 5000 posts!

Hope you had a Merry Christmas and that Santa was kind. Given that you got the Nile Gunboat for your birthday I bet Santa was very, very kind.

Oops.... I did not see that this was about plastics... I had a fun time anyway....
Jack- yes, I know that it is not Medieval{sm4}.... I just didn't really think any of the Medieval stuff out there was exceptional....
Christmas (I am Jewish, but it's just so fun...) was great! I got some JJD Napoleonics, an electric chainsaw, and a giant fur winter hat.... This year my "gunboat" will be an M1 Carbine for my birthday sold to my mother through a friend at a VERY good price..... Dad is not too happy about that...... Also, I have to give credit to George for helping in the gunboat department- George doesn't have a shop, but he is definitely one of the best dealers out there.
