I am deeply saddened at this news. Steve and I had corresponded a good deal this past summer, as he was enthusiastically embracing paper modeling and we shared a good deal of information since I was new to that genre also. Steve's build logs were very helpful in the learning process. I am glad at least that he was able to build Matt77's Aviatik Berg D.I paper repaint that he so liked, and post it here. He was also very excited about my directing him to a 1/33 I'lya Muromets paper kit, which he was looking forward to building, as he loved that aircraft.
Steve's enthusiastic participation on the forum, great sense of humor and passion for modeling will be missed here.
Best,
Bob
