Friends,

I haven neglected my website because i am no longer actively building any models (just browsing other sites and admiring the work of others), and i don't think that i will restart building anytime soon. because of this my site is seeing several breakdowns and i decided to take it of the net.

I will remove the site effectivly from april, 1 2006, so if there is anything anybody wants from the site, this is the moment

Thanks for all the reply's on the site and i am glad that my site could inspire people.

Happy modeling to all

your Tips page on your site is really good. can you place them somewhere else? It would be sad if they are gone.

And it is a good learning process for me

That's most unfortunate, Ronny...
You had a really great site, but I can understand the need for shutdowns...I myself had to close my site a few months back, just not enough time in the day to do it all, mate! Anyway's, thanks for all of your past efforts with your site, and my best goes out to you!

Ronny it is sad to hear that somebody is giving up our art form as well as your most helpful site. Maybe Jim will allow some of your superb reference materials to be given a section here. I hope that you find the time to rest and maybe rejoin us in our hobby in the not too distant future.

Hey Roadkill,

Hate to see your website going away, I liked the tips and hints on it. Heck you helped me out at times over at Digital Dioramas.

Why arent you building anymore ?? Lost the interest ?? Hope to see you come back in the bldg community again.

tnx for the reply's.

about the content, most of the reference pictures are al ready placed here in the gallery

tips : most or links to other sites, i never claimed to own the tips just passing them allong so how to put them here or one a other site is simply copying the link

I never realised the so many people liked the site and used it as a reference, wow, tnx

No I did lot losed the love for the hobby, that is why i almost every day visit this site (and a few others) but simply life has gotten in the way.

I made a choice in my career about 2 years ago and as a result i am climbing up the ladder with great result.

This also means that I am putting in 60-70 hours in to my job (gladly) and the spare time that remains is for my kids

So, no i still love the hobby and still admire others theire work but it is a choise
