    The Alan G Memorial. Chat thread.

    Welcome to this Very special GB.
    We honour the memory Of Alan G. Tragically taken from his Wife and Family, his friends and colleagues and us all here on the forum.
    A man that is and will be missed by us all.
    As per the heading, the start date is set for the start of January ending the end of April.
    Any scale, type, of German Luftwaffe Fw190

    Please refrain from posting what you are going to build in this thread, keep it as a surprise.
    You may open your own build thread and post in there.
    I will say it is an option if you want to post the sprue photos or not.
    Please observe the start date. No building before January 1st.
    Lets us keep the chat to a respectable tone and in this thread.

    A very special GB indeed. I am honored to be able to take part.
    A few years ago we had a GB for another member who had passed, Simon T. I know that Simon's family, although not part of the modelling community, were very touched by the tribute GB and enjoyed seeing the builds. It would perhaps be a nice touch if Alan's family could be kept up to date with what his friends here are doing.

      I too will take part. I have a suitable subject in the stash but won’t reveal it until the allotted time….
      i echo Jim’s thoughts and also think it would be fitting if Alan’s loved ones were kept aware of this tribute build.

              I will look for a suitable candidate, and join in as well.
              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                Wonderful way to pay my personal respect to a man I never met, but was my good friend

                I am in of course

                I have messaged Rachel to see how she is, not sure when the time was right

                              A nice idea but I shall watch as planes are not my thing and the scale is well out for me.
