"Just sayin, is All"
« on: February 12, 2014, 02:07:06 AM »
    I recently pressed "send" on my 2000th Post here on the Forum, all in less then two years. I just wish to go on the record once more stating that this little "Club" is the highlight of my otherwise pretty well ordinary day and has really added to my experience in the Hobby. Great and inspiring projects to follow, a wealth of expertise, advice, and information, and a finer group of fellow enthusiasts then can be imagined hardly says it all.
   I also believe that my skill levels have benefitted greatly from being here; the tips, techniques, and experience to be found here is both inspirational and valuable, and furthers my enjoyment of the Hobby immeasurably.
   This is all to say Thank You to our Moderators and to Des, and particularly to the Membership; what a great little world we have going here, and were still only at the beginning!
Cheers,
Lance

Lance,
Very well put and I couldn't agree more with your sentiments!

2000 posts? Where do you find the time? :)

It is a very nice place to visit though.

Bravo Lance!

I spent much of my professional life online tutoring on a post-graduate course and this involves me sending and receiving what seems like hundreds of messages a week as we discuss issues. You might have thought that in my spare time I'd want to be anywhere other than in front of a computer screen. Yet I just love this wonderful forum and have made such friendships and learned so much. A year or so ago, I would never have dared to show my models online to experts, but such is the environment here that I feel able to. So, thank you Des and all those who make this a great place to be.

Best wishes
Nigel

Keep the posts coming, Lance.  You have added a lot of knowledge and examples of wonderful
model-making which inspire the rest of us.  Thanks to you, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Well said, Lance! I'm not sure where I'd be on my build(s) without the knowledge, insight, and encouragement exhibited by the fine folk that post here.

Hi Lance,

You are so right. This milestone proves that you are a very active forum member, as well in posting your builds from which we all learned a lot (I certainly did!), as in reacting on other people's work. Always in a very positive and gentle way. I am glad to know you and up to 3000!

Kind regards
Patrick

Just getting to this thread:  I couldn't agree more.  This forum and others like it have been most helpful for me in this hobby of WW1 aircraft.  I wouldn't have ever thought I would be able to build these let alone post them on a forum.  So, it is with thanks to all who share their skills and talents with the rest of us that I write this.  Like Lance, I too look forward to this forum and seeing what is going on with the rest of the enthusiasts.  During the long winters here in the Great Upper Midwest, this is a real sanity boost.

Best wishes to all.

Am in the same position and wholly agree with Mark.

And this says it all for me too. I rarely showed any of my models to anyone and really had to kick myself to post anything here or elsewhere, (and had to be kicked hard by a couple of others too), but I am so pleased that I did. It has changed the way in which I think about my own builds: most of all it has given me tremendous insight into what really good modellers can achieve and how they achieve it.

Thanks to you Des and all who contribute.
