Re: Obituary...
Sad news indeed. Yes he was a F1M member, username daveyracer , though it had been quite a while since he last posted on F1M.
The last couple of years I had been following his work on YouTube and Instagram. However, of late he had been very limited with his activity on these channels, citing some personal issues.
Agreed, a great and talented modeller, who has inspired me.
RIP David.

Re: Obituary...
Very bad news. His stuff was always top quality. RIP
I have to say the last 15 months I have seen so many good car people go away including car collectors and modelers. Very sad time.

Re: Obituary...
Very sad indeed. Even sadder to see that he died when he lost his battle with pneumonia due to covid-19. (As reported by Chris - admin at DT Model Art - Facebook page)
I have no idea if David was vaccinated or not, but here in Denmark the only ones in a ventilator at the hospitals are NOT vaccinated. And the ones getting sick and end up in hospital more than 90% of them is not vaccinated.
On the 10th of september ALL of the restrictions due to covid will be lifted in Denmark! More than 75% of the population has been vaccinated by now. Phizer and Moderna. So a succes story so far. NOT so much in a lot of other countries I'm afraid.
So get the jabs. For your own sake and for your family.

Re: Obituary...
Sadly I didn't really know him or see his work. He was an occasional customer so I recognized the name, but it sounds like I really missed out on not knowing him or his work.
