Hi Heather!
First, let me express my deepest sympathy for your loss.
I had many occasions to exchange with your Dad on this forum, and he was a generous person, always willing to share some advices about the fantastic paint finishes he achieved on his truly unique creations. While some could be secretive, he was always happy to answer my most minute inquiries, to good effect for me. I like to think that my modelbuilding skills improved thanks to him.
You can be very proud of your Dad. He's missed on this forum.
Regards,
CT
