mini trucker Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Just saw on Instagram that board member Blair Pletcher has passed away. I didn't know him but was an admirer of his beautiful weathering jobs. May he rest is piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Wow we've lost another very talented modeler. I know he hasn't been on the site for a while. My condolences to his family and friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Sorry to hear, I just got home from a fellow modelers service tonight!!!! Gone way to soon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I didn't know who him. Did he use a pseudonym?Bob, he was "bpletcher55" here on the board. He went to the CPMCC (York, PA) and was one of the best when it came to weathering.If you check this thread here, you'll see the last model he posted here as far as I can see.

Dragline Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I just went and checked his stuff. Very cool all of it. Thanks for the heads up Bill. What a shame, and only a year older than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robberbaron Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow, I was just thinking recently that I hadn't seen him post any builds in quite a while. Never met him in person either, just really admired his work - seemed like his rod builds were always very well thought out and executed. His family has my sympathies. Here's one of his builds I especially liked: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
