My grandpa passed away yesterday. It was quite sudden and he was in reasonably good health. I suppose it was just his time. I bring this up here because he was an avid modeler for most of his 90 years. My great grandfather got him started in the 30s, my grandpa got my dad started in the 60s, my dad got me started, and I got my son started. Every time we visited the conversations always turned to what was on the bench, and different techniques. He was always willing to give my son a kit from his stash. Perhaps even more amazingly, my grandfather was able to build all the models he had in his stash. I already miss him so much.
My condolences mate.
