Sad to hear.  I only met Mr. Marshman a couple of times at the IPMS Nationals, but he was always a real gentleman.  And of course he was THE guy to go to for P-47 info.

I spoke with some of Hal Sr's family members at his funeral Friday and they wanted to extend their sincere thanks for the outpouring of well wishes and support through all of this.

 

They were touched at the number of people that reached out.

OMG.... I am over in India and have been for months.... I LIKED Hal... WE used to exchange  PM  's and E mail about his modeling et al...  what a super Gentleman he was and always ready to help no matter how young you were.

 

 

I will miss him and MY Condolences to his Family and TRUE friends. 

 

if anyone is a scum bag  and pond life it's the man who write such despicable  things on the Facebook.(not a member but read it above in that posted coment) .

 

who the heck is that horrible nerd.

 

 

I should not say this but when his demise cones I am sure there WILL BE QUITE A FEW to say what a scumbag he was !

 

I shall miss  Hal..

Yes, he is, and his models $uck...almost as bad as any book or article he's ever written. Straight up poser.

BTW...like me, you're a middle aged white guy, just like a large segment of  modelers and guys who attend airshows...so you're part of the problem.

aggravate him by talking about guns . He is so anti guns he goes crazy. LoL. Wasn't he banned from hyperscale?

 

Oh, I know. I never met the guy, never talked with him on-line here or anything...somewhere on FB while discussing 2A is when I got a personal earful from him about how I'm just another "gun loving white guy same as all the @!%^&* that I meet at airshows and model contests!!" Or words to that effect...ended with him being yanked from Spencer Pollards FB page. Miserable old curmudgeon is all he is.

Apologies to Hal's memory by even mentioning his name in this thread. Cheers...

Geez . It is tempting to just say that a couple of times, shake my head the way us Old White Guys do when we encounter such classless behavior and walk out of the line of sight.

 

I know that there are a few people on the web that might actually be relieved when I join the Sky Club for Old Glue Inhalers,,,,,,,,,,but, I sure hope none of them dislike me enough to post an FB post like that.

 

I would never have thought that disagreements over things we used to buy in toy stores would carry over to the point of one modeler celebrating a couple of other's deaths.

 

Try to let that FB post slide off of your backs, guys, and consider the source. On the flipside of guys like that there are the guys that one can disagree with in a public thread, PM them, and have a convo talking about how great it is to be able to disagree and still be polite about it and remain friends. (really just happened a couple of weeks ago between me and another here on ARC)

 

Okay, this old man is going to go drive somewhere, and think about all the modelers I have met that are the polar opposite of TC,,,,,,,,,,at times like this I need to think of them, to keep me going.

It was posted elsewhere recently, but it's pretty apt here.  There's a reason why Tom Cleaver has been banned from every discussion board he's posted on.

I tend to try and not read his reviews. Funny thing is I just googled him and he did a bunch of writing for softcore porn tv  movies. So you know what kind of guy he is lol.

I have never been unfortunate enough to know or meet Mr Cleaver, but apparently I am much better off for that missing element of my life's experiences.  I have know Hal Marshman for quite a number of years and it would be nearly impossible to find a finer gentleman, better modeler or better person for a role model.  May Hal forever rest in peace with the Heavenly Father and may Mr. Cleaver find the professional mental treatment that he so obviously direly needs.
