Robert Austin (kitnut617) - RIP

[Voodoo-Guy]

Folks:

I just received a call from Robert's wife Anne.

Robert passed peacefully in his sleep last night.

Robert was diagnosed with ALS last July.

It is a very sad day indeed for the modeling community. He was very generous with his ideas, suggestions and some amazing builds.
He will be sorely missed.

He was a welcome presence online in different forums - I wish we could have met in person. Farewell.

To a place with an inexhaustible supply of projects and supplies, RIP indeed.

That’s a great shame, we’d had some good discussions both on here and whatifmodeller

Clear skies Robert
We had been in contact as recently as a week or two ago re our respective DH.101 models, an excellent and insightful modeller, truly saddened at his passing.
