Although i never had the chance to meet you personally, i really wish you the best and hope that someday you will come back to armorama. I being a beginner could really use the help of an experienced person such as yourself. I wish you and your family the best.

Jan,
sorry to hear that sunset called my friend. I hope to see you back over here some day. Perhaps I can persuade you to come to Mol for the Annual KMK event later this year...who knows.
We had fun buddy.... I'm sorry it turns out this way... I would like to thank you for everything you did for this wonderful site. Your words on Jim are so true, but let us not forget about General Failure either.... you pushed, pulled and motivated people to get things done ..... and ....you made it work too. On behalf of all of us I would like to say a big THANK YOU !! for your input and for being a wonderful guy !
Partir est mourir un peu
Godspeed Jan.... we'll meet again, I'm sure !

Jan,
I have enjoyed reading your posts, all the time as being a mere lurker, you're informative post, and gentlemanly ways, convinced me to become not only a member, but also to join the A-guard.
You will be missed,

Wait.... we require sleep??

Jan, my friend, you have been one of the bright rays of sunlight since starting this project (Armorama). I hope the momentary cloud that has come between us is brief and fleeting. If not I will remember your contributions to the site fondly and wish you well in your future achievements.
This is not a goodbye.
Your friend,

Your ideas and guidance will be missed. Armorama and particularly the first diorama campaingn got me building again. Even if you are not actively building or even posting, drop by every now and then just to keep the urges satiated. I wish you success in all your endeavours.

Who the hell is General Failure, and why was he reading my hard disk ?
Where's my funky Iraqi general rank that was here on my profile a few years ago? Did they strip my rank, after all I've done for this forum ? Robbery!!

I'm new here and just wanted to extend a heartfelt "thank you" for all your foundational contributions. I've inherited a great site. It's been especially refreshing after a several year layoff from modeling. God bless, Tom
