There’s nothing like the
thrill of a kit: open the box
and shining new parts
gleam up at you, making
projects possible that take
forever to build from
scratch. Sometimes a kit
lets you try something you
know nothing about; some-
times it speeds up a familiar
process. Every kid (no mat-
ter how old) wants a kit for
the holidays, something to
fiddle with before work or
school kicks in again. Santa’s
elves have been very, very
busy this year, and they’ve
given us a sneak peek of
their best offerings.
