Sorry to hear that Pete. I for one struggle to keep up with so much happening on the forum, so apologies for missing anything you've put up.

Pete, although it's great to receive 'Likes', they are not the be all and end all of our model making.

Builds go through the forum at such a daft rate we all miss some of them.

I build models primarily for my own enjoyment, but the comments and 'likes' my stuff sometimes gets give me, and I'm sure all other members who submit their own stuff, a great buzz.

But I certainly wouldn't throw in the towel and leave if such things dried up.

It's your choice to leave, so all the best for the future.

Hi it's not really about comments and likes and I know people can't keep up with all the builds that are posted I can't but when you post something you don't know if anyone has seen it unless they comment or like it that's all.
As Tim once said toon have a very small niche audience as do other builds on here.
I do get a lot of fun and satisfaction from my builds, and in the world of toons I am now getting some great feedback and recognition, the World War Toons computer game is going to use one of my tanks that I built in their computer game next year and one of the Marvel comics cartoonists Robert Baxter has just done a cartoon drawing of one of my tanks and is sending it to me as a present all the way from California so I'm very happy with what's going on at the moment.

Rather than leaving why not celebrate that success with us Pete?
On another tack, your scratchbuilding skills are excellent, so why not show us the thinking behind it and how you scratch things in a detailed SBS? Those sort of skills are universal in application, so everybody would then benefit from your talent.

Hi Pete

...... so I'm very happy with what's going on at the moment.
Pete.

That's the best we can all hope for. All the best for the future and stay safe.

Bugger all wrong with a toon, especially when made by your goodself! Always enjoy your work and please carry on!!

Its a great break from the usual tanks, planes etc!!

Whats wrong with a toon on ANY forum, still a fine model to me Pete

Just my opinion but very sure many others as well !!

Just had a quick look Pete. Do you know you are listed in the top twenty members on the reaction score table? That wouldn’t happen if your contribution wasn’t appreciated.

Pete just listen to the guys we all think well of your toons as they make me laugh how sqished up they are but thats why they are called toons isnt it an i looked at em may not have said much but looked all the same an not many look at my tiger build but those that do i thank them as im on other sites an i dont get answers for months so this foreum is the best goin as these guys talk daily which is how it should be not once a month or so but its up to you but i will be sad to see you go

Pete,
I'm glad to read of your recognition elsewhere - rightly deserved! But you'll be missed here amongst a group of friends, who like seeing what you do. I've been very quiet recently. I just didn't feel like doing the social media stuff, but I think I've got through it now. You know that you are always welcome here and that you have friends who will miss your company. Have a break and concentrate on where your core interest is being celebrate but please come back to say hello now and again and show us what you're up to - we are interested! And you will be missed.
Take care and we will hopefully see you again soon.
Andy

Pete, Your builds are fun, something we all need a bit more of at the moment. I don't have time to keep up with everything on here, but I will miss your builds & input on this site.

[Fernando N]

Sorry to hear you're leaving Pete, always loved your Toons.
Hope you reconsider about leaving, take care

[Peter Gillson]

Hi Pete

As you know, I am not into Toons and doubt if I woud ever build one, but that does not mean that I do not enjoy seeing your work and appreciating the level of skill you have. Its another aspect of our hobby which I for one like to see.

it would be agreat shame for you to go, so I hope you reconsider.

Hi it's been about a month since I've been on here, I'm calling it time on here, toons type models aren't really for forums, my last two didn't go down very well so have decided to call it a day, I know you shouldn't presume that you get comments/ likes etc but only one like on final build photos.
I would like to thank everyone who has followed my builds and helped me along the way and especially with parts.
Thank you all very much for your support while I've been on here.
Pete.

Hi Pete.
Keep in touch fella,E.mail me if you like to chat.
Cheers.
Rich.
