This forum will be closing from the 12th April

I'm sad to say that this forum will cease to be online after the 12th April.

Its had a good run over the years but activity is now very low and I can't justify the cost to keep it running and I don't really have the time to oversee it and promote it.

The main site will stay up and running for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to every contributor for creating a friendly, helpful community, you'll probably never know how many people you have helped and entertained with your posts over the years but it appears building kit cars and talking about them is not on the top of everyone's to do list nowadays.

Its a shame, but now is the time to close it down.

Peace and love everyone :hippie:

JG – Very sorry to hear that John. :(

However, I fully understand the decision and know I’ve been too busy to post much myself recently.
(But will belatedly update my own thread in the next few days.)

Without a doubt, there is no way I would every have finished my own build without this forum.

I bit off more than I could chew when I started, but had help and support all the way. :cool:

Finally, if it would help, I’d gladly donate £100 to help keep the lights on for a bit longer.
(Which is something another forum I use did when it faced a similar problem.)

Thanks for the past and good luck for the future.

Cheers, Paul. :)
