Kostucha Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Good morning folks, In looking at this GB, I must say, the work here is nothing short of incredible. The scale representations of one of the most iconic aircraft to ever fly certainly do this flying legend justice. Once this GB comes to a close, and the raffle prizes I have are sent out, I will be packing up the work bench and moving on. Due to personal reasons, and the challenges that I'll be facing for the next while, there is just no place, time, or opportunity to build anymore. Such is life. In that though, I wanted to pass on my sincerest thanks to you all. It has been a blast. As much as I enjoyed building up LMM, I enjoyed watching all of your builds much, much more. This forum certainly has a countless number of fine, fine folks who are as much model builders as you are gentlemen. Combined together, the wealth of knowledge, skill, and advice is an incredible tool to anyone looking to build anything. Thank you for the good times, and I wish you all the best. Good luck in the new year, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Seen some fine people leave these boards recently. I feel for you and hope that things can come back around and you will join us once again. You did a hell of a job with the GB and your work on LMM is nothing short of fantastic. I aspire to be 50% of what you are with that model. Don't leave us without finishing her up! Always keep in touch as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vvwse4 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 And only now I read this...I am very sorry to read this Mark and I can only hope and wish you all the best of luck you can get. Hopefully you get back to the bench when things settle down. Thank you for allowing me to make, and even finish the Shamrock Special. Wishing you nothing but good, Rick.

Eastern Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi Mark, Though it's pity to hear you are out of the business. You are one of the most talented fellow modelers and I hope you will find time one day to put your skillful hands on some other build. Well, whereever you go, whatever you are to face, I wish you good hope and may good luck always be with you. Happy New Year and happy new life! Cheers!

Stefan buysse Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hello, Mark. Like the previous posters, I'm sorry to see you go away from the hobby for a while. I hope you get through those real-life situations very smoothly and come back eventually. Best wishes, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Prop Duster Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Thank you, Mark for your inspiration and ability's showing us a window into your modeling talent. I have been inspired to stretch my small efforts, by techniques offered by you on your many projects. Like the others, I realize the outside world makes its demands, and those must be met. So I'll say, not a goodbye but a "see you later". My best wishes for you as you move on. They may forget what you said, but they will never forget how good you made them feel.

Ian Cooper Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 All the very best to you Mark. Good luck with whatever comes before you in the future. I hope to see you back here one day as you truly are an inspirational modeller. Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-17 guy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) Take care of yourself Mark. Hope things get turned around for you. One thing I gotta ask, after tommorrow, what happens to all the threads here? Lots of good refference material in here, I'd hate to lose it all. Plus, how would I get my wip thread moved into the props section or in-progress? Edited December 30, 2011 by B-17 guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus, how would I get my wip thread moved into the props section or in-progress? The GB will be moved to the completed GBs section so that shouldn't erase any threads or info. As per moving it you could always ask SBarc or just keep going in the one you have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Rat Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Don't think we've ever communicated about anything Mark, but when a man with well over 15,000 posts calls it a day that deserves a big . Good luck in the future, and you know where we are if you get lonesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry I didn't get my second entry done in time. But I found it hard getting the Revell kit in my local Model store. But today I finally got one albeit late for this GB.
