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.

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.

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.

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.
