Brilliant! And he always made it look so easy! My favourites are his fantastic scratch builds - what a weird and wonderful collection of string bags. Thanks for pulling these together.

Best

Very nice tribute to Des.  Thanks for putting his work in one place.  Looking at the models in his case behind the photo of Des looks like he built many kits in 1/48 before the 1/32 bug bit him.  I would have liked to have seen them due to his attention to detail.

Good grief! Always knew the man was a great modeler but to see all these together like this really shows what a talent he had. RIP Des.
