Hi all,

After four years as an associate editor at FSM, working with a talented staff, and getting to hang out with all of you, I'm moving on to another title. I'm not out of the building (yet), and you may see me from time to time, but I'm no longer with FSM in an official capacity. I've moved over to helm Drone 360.

This video pretty much explains everything.

Happy modeling, everyone! And thank you for being such excellent ambassadors for our hobby.

Tim

Oh that's excellent!

Best wishes to you, and of course I'll be pleased to sign up over there.

I found one on the roof of my house the other day.

Sorry to see you leave, you've been a great contributor to the publication and the hobby, but onward and upward as they say. I wish you all the best of success and satisfaction for your future.

Good luck and best wishes, Tim. I have changed jobs many times in my career, sometimes intentionally and other times by "popular request", but it all worked out OK.

I know you will do well in your new endevours.

Crying AWWWWW we'll miss you Tim.

The chemistry you and AAron had in the videos was very entertaining . Hoping all the best in your new venture.

I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

Sure everything will work out great for you and I'll miss the posters in the back of the videos, can't be that many US lovers of British Sci-Fi.

I hope the GB's will continue with Aaron at the helm as I'm sure we're due another one sometime soon!
