I am sad to announce that Scott Lodder stepped down as a staff member today. Scott has done great work for us since joining the site a few months after Armorama went online in late 2001. He has been a staffer on Armorama since 2003! He also was the managing editor for ModelGeek since it's inception and helped out on other sites as well. Scott will be very much missed by all of us on staff and I personally want to wish him all the best in future. Thanks Scott for a great 7 years on staff!

We are also losing Rui Matos, the prior managing editor of Model Shipwrights and also a staff member from the early days of our ship section. We would like to thank Rui for his many years of dedication to the community as well.

We are also updating our staff roles and a few people who haven't had time to be active staffers have opted to step down (or have been removed if we haven't been able to reach them lately). During this period of a change of the guard, so to speak, we would remind everyone that we still need volunteers to help with the day-to-day running of our sites. If you are interested in helping out with anything please let us know.

Best wishes,
Jim

Thanks to Rui and Scott. BZ

Cheers Scott a good many years of hard work.

Hats of to both, thanks to Rui and Scott for all the support I -and a lot of other modellers- ever got from them, I will be happy to find them back as regular modellers amongst those forums

The pair of you will be missed for your hard work and dedication to the site.

I wish you good modelling in the future. Rui - hope to catch up at Telford this Year!!

Andy

Thank you all. And most of all thank you Jim and the other staff members. It has been a very gratifying and satisfying to have been a part of this as a staff member.

I may be stepping down, but not away. I'll still hang out on the 'front end' and be a contributing member.
I've got a stash to build!

Jim - Thank you.
Staff (past and present) - Thank you too.

Hi Scott and Rui

Thank you both for the enormous contribution you've made to Kitmaker over the years!

I really hope taking a break from working behind the scenes will give you the chance to get in some quality time at the workbench and that we can look forward to seeing many more of your great builds.

Al the best to you both for the future

Rowan

Thank you guys for the huge load of effort you have put into the site the past years. Great contributions and love to see you back among the building crowd

Thanks to you guys for all the positive comments you've laid on newbys and vets alike. Now we can enjoy seeing some of your own Plastic Pride!
Cheers!
Rick

Thank you Scott and Rui for your part in making the site an enjoyable experiance.

Bob

Cheers/Jan

Thanks and good luck to you both. There is always a seat in the mess for you.

I'm a little late to the party, but I'd like to thank you both for your hard work. I can only imagine that being a staff member is a very satisfying but time-consuming endeavor.

So thanks again to you both for your time and effort, and kudos to the rest of the staff who work hard to keep things running.

Thanks both and particularly thanks Scott for all the helpful feedback and support during my time on the network!
