ChrisFawcett18 Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Hi, I thought this was the best place to tell you. Unfortunately my dad, Brian Fawcett, passed away over the weekend. He spent a lot of time on here, talking with you all and sharing ideas. Some of you may even have bought his resin kits previously. Please know, modelling really was his world, along with radio controlled air craft and moaning about the state of politics in the world! I’ll try and make my way through his contacts list, but if you know of anyone who dealt with him regularly, please do pass this message on. This post has also gone onto one of his existing threads, but thought it wise to post something new. Thank you for being such a great community for him over the years, we will miss him dearly every day. Cheers, C Jan_G, rafju, chukw and 38 others 6 35

mozart Posted June 23 Posted June 23 That’s such sad news Chris, I knew from being in contact with Brian last year that he wasn’t in the best of health. He’ll be missed; his Hurricane upgrades are essential items for the older kits and I’m pleased to be building the MDC Typhoon right now which was mastered by him. My condolences to you and your family. Max CharmyDown and Rick Griewski 2
LSP_Ray Posted June 23 Posted June 23 My condolences, Chris. I have bought several items from your father. His attention to detail and casting quality was exceptional. A loss to the modeling world.
Bob MDC Posted June 23 Posted June 23 A great loss Brian helped me start MDC nearly 30 years ago he mastered the Swordfish then Typhoon plus lots of other stuff and some interesting projects for other companies. He was an exceptional pattern maker not only for the replication of the parts but was always made the parts easy to reproduce not a common skill. Bob Biggles87, Iain, paul fisher and 2 others 5
