Hi All

The Basement Webzine would like your help

Adrian and I were taking tonight about Roy, as I guess a lot of us are at this time, and what we could do to celebrate his life and the contribution he made to the hobby and it seems from the messages left here and on other forums he made a great impression on us modelers too.

So what we would like to do rather than Adrian and I typing up something that seems appropriate, we think that it should be all of us who knew him that should tell people about him, to that end we would like all the people who would want to to send us their memories of this man who we will all miss tremendously, it can be in whatever form you want from jokes he told to the first time you met him anything what you think shows what he meant to you and to the hobby, we would also like photos of him and his work if you have them.

We can then create a lasting tribute to this dearly missed guy.

You can either type them in here or mail them to me on the following email address

[email protected]

We don't want to confine this to just members of The Basement anyone who knew him we would like to hear from them too, if you could pass this on to them and ask them to get in touch if they would like to contribute.

Thanks in advance


Robin and Adrian

Hi Robin,

I totally agree with and support your intentions to remember Roy and his magnificent contributions to our hobby, and his place as a wonderful husband, father and friend.

I was wondering if the organisers of Euro Militiare/ World Expo might consider naming a perpetual award for figure modelling/sculpting in his honour.

Given Roy's status as a winner of Best Of Show at Euro 08, I think this type of award would be highly regarded and would allow all of us who were Roy's friends and colleagues to remember him and honour him as one of the "greats".

Cheers

Hi Tony, there are plans afoot.... Hardy

I believe there are plans for a number of things, I am sure once the people involved know what's happening they will let us all know.

The main thing we would like to , in as much as The Basement webzine is provide a place on the web dedicated to Roy which is why we are collecting peoples thoughts.
