Hi all

it is with some sadness that i must inform you all that at the end of March 2004, my web site Doc Dios will cease to exist. I have decided that i will not be renewing the rental on the web site as i have not really updated for over a year.

I would like to take this moment to thanks all the people who have donated work and articles for the site over the years. Your work has been a big inspiration for me and im sure a lot of other modellers.

On the upside i am rewriting a lot of the articles and hopefully these will be published on Digital Dioramas and other sites.

I will still be modelling and hope to concentrate on publishing my work on Digital Dioramas and other sites.

Again many thanks to you all


regards

Keith,

sorry to hear this. I would like to thank YOU for providing us with an excellent website with great reference over the last couple of years. Don't forget us when you write new articles, or re-write the old ones. Just mail them to our staff, and we'll find some room to publish them.

Thanks ! And please keep us posted on your modeling.

Bummer, Keith -- I really enjoyed your site when it was active. Hope you manage to transfer at least some of its how-to content to other websites.

Thanks for the site and good luck in your future endeavors!.

Howdy keith,

Man, not what I wanted to read after sitting down and waking up Armorama! Very sorry to hear you are closing your 'virtual' doors. I can only assume you have your reasons, and can only try to understand them. You will be missed by more than you know.......

The very best Sir!

And as has been already said, don't be a stranger here.

Tread.

I hope the best for you Keith and your future endeavors. Your site will be missed.
We'll keep our fingers crossed that the articles survive elsewhere.

Im very very sorry to hear this. One of the first sites I found when I got into the hobby 3 years ago and was a huge inspiration ... and still is! I donīt know how many times I have suggested people take a look there for help in dio building ...... even refered somebody there tonight about the filter/rivet method.
Some of those articles are priceless and hopefully digital dioramas pick them up. Maybe Jim might be interested?????
Good luck for the future, Keith. Hope to see more articles like this soon. All the best. Frank.

Oy that is indeed some sad news.

My modelingyears more or less started with the Discovery of your site (before Armorama) And here I learned a lot of good techniques. It would be a shame if that would all be gone. I`m looking forward to your future Work and I`m sure that a lot of Articles will find their way on the World Wide Web. It is been said before and I will do it again. Don`t be a stranger here. We would love to see you here
