RIP Steve

I spoke to him when I was building my Tiger and he was kind, helpful and generous with the information he supplied. His craftsmanship lives on in the many excellent parts he provided for our tanks. I will miss him.

Regards and respect

I didn't know Steve or his work, but judging by the comments on here he's going to be missed and leaves a big gap in the 1/6 model community. RIP Steve.

This is sad news indeed, only got to meet him once and spoke a few times on the phone. His craftsmanship was second to none and nothing was too much trouble, weather it was making a part or giving advice. He always came across as a very kind and gentle person and will be greatly misses in our community . Denise and l would like to pass on our condolences to all his friends and family.

RIP Steve
