Very Sad News

[Tim Bowman]

Hello all,

I received some very sad news. A long time fellow Armortek modeler/owner and good friend of mine, Bodo passed away last Friday after a tough fight with Cancer. Although I have not been too active in the 1:6th world the past few years, I did talk frequently with Bodo and thoroughly enjoyed our friendship and his insight on both modeling and life in general. A really good guy.

Many on here know Bodo's incredible talent when it came to detailing and building of each of his models. One of the best in "our common hobby" as he would always say. I know his models have inspired many(me included) to push detailing and accuracy just a bit farther.

Thank you, Bodo, for your friendship and sharing your amazing work with all of us over the years.

Tim

Tim this is terrible news.
I knew my friend Bodo had some health issues but not in my wildest worts case senario it would end like this.
Bodo was not only a huge inspiration for me and other in our hobby with his skills and eye for details he was above all a true gentleman, a friendly foe and a very very good friend.
I will miss him so much.

R.I.P Bodo.
Your friend Kent

Awful news for sure. A master craftsman of the highest order. I will miss his fantastic builds and correspondence as well. I'm at a loss to say anything else. Goodbye friend.
