Congrats and well deserved. This is one of the best sites I have belonged to and the best WWI site I have joined. Friendly, informative, and supportive.

Many congratulations Des, for this unbelievable number of hits. I agree totally with Ernie, that it is thanks to your hard work and vision you achieved this. I wonder how many people got interested in WW1 aircrafts thanks to you. I am sure that your build logs inspired many people to run to the modeling shops. This is a great performance Des. You will double the number in no time!

Kind regards
Patrick

I've participated to some degree or other on various internet forums covering a fairly wide range of subjects including other modelling related ones. The notable points of this website & forum for me are:

Very useful & inspiring information & build logs on the Internet page.

The format of the forum is clear & simple - on some forums it's difficult to find the threads & postings sandwiched between adverts & frankly rubbish.

The content on the forum - thanks to Des & the members - is packed with valuable builds, tips, photos & above all inspiration.

The icing on the cake though is the lack of sniping & unfriendly behaviour which is a plague afflicting so many forums. 'Handbags at dawn' due to a disagreement over some tiny detail gets very boring & is a reason to avoid some forums (even one or two other WW1 related)  ;)

The above is due to the way Des runs his ship, the effort he's put in & of course to the members - my thanks to all concerned.

Regards
Russell

    Congratulations Des!  You have a great site. I don't post many times, but I'm on here every day and get a LOT of inspiration and help. If I had a way of photographing my work I would probably post regularly. A great amount of expertise and willingness to share among the forum members here also. Your site first peaked my interest in WWI subjects, as was stated likewise earlier. 1,000,000 will probably appear faster than the 500,000!!  Keep up the GREAT work!

Congratulations, Des. Thanks for creating and maintaining a site that is so nice to visit. A big thank you, also to all the members who make it such a useful place to come to. Friendly advice, constructive criticism, no back biting and pointless bickering, this site has all of the good things we want and none of the bad.

Congratulations Des! Your site is unlike so many others that have come and gone. You have brought so many talented and very giving individuals together in one location that no other site can do. So pat yourself on the back. It's well deserved.
