PlaStix Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) .......everyone who took part or contributed in any way to this Group Build. What an amazing GB! I thoroughly enjoyed taking part and hosting. I think the spread of the voting shows what a fantastic set of Vignettes have been produced and I hope they encourage the participants and others to make more of these types of scenes for their models in future. On a personal note: Thank you to everyone who voted for mine - I am so surprised it won - there are so many brilliant Vignettes in the Gallery. I was obviously delighted but today is also a very sad day for me. Unfortunately my mum passed away this afternoon after being poorly for some time. I am dedicating this win to her as she was always very supportive of my modelling and in fact she purchased the Revell Schlingmann Fire Truck for me a few years back when I was getting back into building kits. I had only shown her this Vignette last week, while she was in hospital. She was delighted when I returned to the hobby because she remembered how I used to love making models as a child. For my mum Betty 10/04/27 - 09/11/16 Kind regards, Stix Edited November 9, 2016 by PlaStix 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted November 14, 2016 Author Share Posted November 14, 2016 Dear all, Thank you so much for all your kind words, thoughts and condolences. I am sorry I haven't replied sooner but there has been a lot to do. I have checked in occasionally on here and reading your replies has helped raise my spirits. This is just another reason why Britmodeller is such a great place to be. There is going to be a lot more to do over the next few months, to sort everything out, but I am determined to get some time making models as soon as I can. I'm actually hoping to get some done in the evenings this week if I can. Thank you all again for your kindness. Kind regards, Stix 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
