Closed, shut for good.

Post by digger303 »

I have to inform you all with deep regret that the Perth Military Modelling ( PMS ) site has been closed.
For those who don't know it was run and owned by Terry Ashley and his credit card.

The rent was due on the site and Terry felt it's time was done ( don't really agree with that ), but maybe with the social media platforms being so widely used and Terry isn't young any more he's right.

Such a shame to lose all that info, because many of those kits are still waiting to be built in many stashes including mine.

He contributed a lot to many and helped improve the manufacturers attitude to getting details right at least to some degree more so than some of the modelling magazines I used to buy.

Thanks Terry you helped us all a lot.

Such a shame when age and rising costs seal the fate of someone who has given so much.

Sadly its the way of the world although there are some exceptions the prove the rule. A store has opened up less than 10 miles from where I live and they are doing well. There's even talk of opening another store. Its a proper model shop too with a great range of kits and supplies.
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:
