Hi all,
It has been a long time since I have posted on this site and a lot water has passed under the bridge. With this being said, I just want to say that I have lost interest in the model building hobby and have not picked up a brush in over 4 years.

I am pitching it in and wish to say that this site has kept my interest going for quite a while. Now though, I have no desire left in me.

Thanks Jim for a great website. Good luck in the future.

Was wondering the other day how you have been and here is the answer. Pitty to hear that mate but I'm sure you will find a good replacement. All the best.

Chris You don' know me but a word of advice from some one that's been there.
Don' get rid of any thing, pack it away.
I lost interest got rid of every thing, kit's ,tool's, compressor and air brush . The interest came back had to rebuild. Good part of it was the hobby advanced in the years I was out so better tool's more gadgets , aftermarket kits and the kit's. and places like Armorama.
Remember pack it away and maybe some day I will see you posting here again.

Amen to that - i went through a "dry spell",then one day i was having a sort out and came across my old stash and bang i got hooked again.
In the end all it cost me was some new tinlets of paint and i was away !

Sorry to hear it mate.

I agree with the guys posting above. Hide the stash and working gear away but don't get rid of it. You never know if the urge might come back and you'll be sorry you got rid of all your gear.

Good luck and I wish you well!
