The last post I have for the Perth Military Modeling Society is 22 May of this year. I know the fellow managing the site had health issues in the past, does anyone know if the site will come back or is this it for them?
thanks

HI

He posted on FB stating that it was time to go. Most thought he meant from FB, where he was very active. But it appears he has stepped away from his web site as well.

One of my favourites too, I really enjoyed the comparisons he posted.

Hopefully, he will be back. We are "FB friends" and there is a post from someone stating that he just taking a break.

I know Terry has been struggling with mental health issues. PMMS has done wonders for the hobby and I personally couldn't wait to get new kit news, builds, references and honest, intelligent reviews. I really hope he returns to the site. If not, its a huge loss - maybe someone could pick up the banner...

It would be a tough banner to pick up. The amount of time and effort he put into those reviews was amazing. Truly the best armor review site on the web. Hope to see him back soon.

If not, folks need to realize that just about every model website is run by an individual. So at some point, this one, ARC, Hyperscale, etc, etc are all going to go away at some point (as are all of us). Enjoy them while you can and if you see valuable pics / info, save to hard drive ASAP.
