discussion Update on Ron

[papa 695]

RIP Ron, one of the best blokes I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, and call a friend, his brush painting was second to none. He and his experience, whit, diorama building and aircraft chucking will be very missed.

Such sad news. RIP old boy.

 

[Jim R]

Such very, very sad news. My thoughts are with his family and friends. He was such a great modeller who produced wonderful dios but never took himself too seriously. His skills and sense of humour will be greatly missed.

Love the idea of a build in his memory.

This is the one that Ron did that has really stayed with me….superb modelling and a truly moving story. https://www.scalemodelling.co.uk/th...ngine-dapol-oo-ho-class-9f-2-10-0-loco.26874/

 

[Jim R]

Yes Tim. I remember that as well. A wonderful, almost believable, story and a superb model beautifully photographed.

I had many a laugh about wood butchering with Ron. Will miss the dios and that bunch of native builders he used. I knew of his battle with cancer, but like Yak face said nothing.
RIP old mate
Condolences to Justine and the family.
