Leaving the hobby

[Charles King]

Hi all. Yes...you read correctly. It's time for me to say bye bye to this wonderful hobby. Reason? Simple. No time, other interest, work related and lost interest. I would like to thank everyone of you who have supported me in all my builds. Thanks for all answer questioned that have enlighten me during my learning developement. I appreciated every said and advised.

Will I pick it up in the furture...do not know but you all will not be forgotten. Thank you again. Thanks everyone.

 

I will be selling off a few kits I have on hand and all misc. that comes with the hobby. So all those living in Sweden, this will be your chance to pick up everything from kits, paints wash,spare parts, lots of PE, lots of styrene, hobby books, and many many more...all for a good price. So let me know..My email: c.king@telia.com ; mobile nr. 070 345 62 81 (this nr. are for those residing in Sweden)

I'm genuinely unhappy to hear that. I hope that you'll change your mind; in the meantime hang onto your stuff. You may find that you want to use it again (if not now).

Well, Charles, if you put the same amount of skill and effort into your other interests, then you'll be a huge success.

 

Thanks for sharing your masterpieces with us.

Saw your message at the IPMS-Philippines board and my first reaction was "Please don't tell me Charles got offended by my reply about your suggestion for a proposed Cold War/Modern AFVs group build."

 

I've seen people leave the hobby for one reason or the other. I don't find it particularly sad though, and I'm sure I'll end up leaving the hobby years from now at the rate I'm going (work commitments sure kills the hobby).

 

That said, thanks for sharing your most excellent work and good luck with whatever you will be doing.

 

I'll be emailing you re:stuff you're giving away, later.

You're a skilled bloke and I've certainly been impressed by your work, I reckon you'll be back sometime.

[Charles King]

Thank you all. I really appreciate the compassion you all have for the hobby and members in general. Thanks for inspiring me to better myself. I will surely be checking back from time to time to see how everyone is doing. Thanks again...and God bless.

Charles, it is a terrible thing to loose you. I hope that your "other" endevours are just as fruitfull. It has been a blast "working across from you". I hope to get as far into scratchbuilding as you did and to be able to do it as well.

 

Happy trails and see you around some time.

[Charles King]

you Jacques. Kind regards. I still will finish off the Stryker ESV before calling it quits. But thanks for the kind sentiments.

Sad to hear you do great work.

 

I gave up the hobby years ago and now just can't get back into it no matter how hard i try, my skills have deteriorated and I just don't get the joy anymore...

 

I hope you reconsider...
