Very proud moment for me

[Des]

A very proud moment for me happened at 9.20pm on 03 October 2014, my website registered 500000 hits, I would never have dreamt that my little website would, in a reasonably short time, have half a million hits. 

Des.

Congratulations on this achievment Des, and while not anticipate, this halfmillion mark is reached so fast because of the great amount and excellent quality of very usefull information, that you compiled in very user-friendly way!
I know it as I used it not once or twice and will be using it again and again in the future.

Best reagrds,
Sasho

Brace yourself Des; the way your "brainchild" is maturing the one million bench mark is closer then you think! Wonderful place to learn and share and you created it, well done and thanks!

I have visited, and abandoned many modeling sites over the years. I once was a forum moderator for one with over 10,000 registered members. Few are able to sustain a large and regular number of active contributors but this one is an exception in my opinion. I was at first an occasional visitor, then discovered that although some of the methods you chronicled here regarding modeling techniques and tools are the same or similar to those I had discovered, many were new, well presented and in the spirit of sharing. Your build logs are entertaining and informative with excellent photography but without patronizing opinion. I continue to enjoy and participate in the forum which is without rancor, meanness and spite. Lovely, that.

I seldom visit the sites and forums I once haunted, preferring this one instead.

I think all this is due to the attitude and spirit you have maintained and I wish you continued success.

Congratulations Des and a huge thank you.

I have had access to information ,specialist techniques and after- market items that I would have struggled to find anywhere else.

The models being constructed here have certainly been a continual source of inspiration and I have " raised my game".

Keep up the great work.

Congratulations, Des. That is so awesome. But then again, this is a first class site and the best modeling site I have ever seen or been on. In fact, its the only site I will go on. I have yet to build a World War I model, a bit scared to tell the truth, but I have learned so much already from your site and all the guys and girls here.

I for one would like to thank you for a wonderful site and I hope 1,000,000 hits won't be far off.

Congratulations Des. I came across this site quite by chance and was a bit intimidated at first by the sheer quality of the builds here, as I thought that mine were a bit amateurish by comparison. The very warm welcome, continued support, very positive and helpful comments, advice, tips etc. all combine to make this the best site on the web. There is so much to learn and this is the place to come for those who wish to - in a friendly, constructive and supportive atmosphere. When you write that you accept any standard of model on this site we know that you mean it.

Looking forward to the next half-million and then more……..

Congratulations, Des!  You've built one of the most beautifully constructed sites on the web, attractive, packed with useful information and easily navigable.  I use it regularly for reference.
Cheers,

I think this is the WW1 aviation modelling website of choice. I know that the advice, good nature of the members and lack of rivet counters has helped me decide to move exclusively to 1/32 WWI modelling.

Congratulations and thanks to all users who caused that this site is so interesting
