fatarms 7,795 Posted October 26, 2023 For you old schoolers, I just read the sad news over on homage-forum. A longtime modder and case modifier is how I remember him, never had any personal interaction with him but his is one of the names I definitely learned in my first couple years on the forums. Hopefully some still remember him and can chime in with some words or pictures of his work as a tribute to his mark he left on our hobby. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Devil 2,974 Posted October 26, 2023 That's sad to hear, I never knew him but it's always sad when someone on here passes... I hope someone can post some of his work to credit him too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Junior88 388 Posted October 26, 2023 I didn't know him either, but a friend of mine is a moderator over there. I was asked to post this as well, so thank you @fatarms for posting before I got home. https://www.homage-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8822 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 996 Posted October 26, 2023 I've only just learned this myself, very sad. I've dealt with him a fair bit, I have a collection of those little tin cans he used to pack shit in. Condolences to all who knew and worked with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every time I had money he had no stock available and tho he offered I refused to "pull rank" and push in to the wait list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redfire1066 11,163 Posted November 24, 2023 Browsing away I have read some topics with the Neckyzips name metioned .. . I never had any communications with the RWG member myself . . . . . . .. testimony though to the RWG community that this man who was regarded as a lovely & talented member is still being talked about with love & kindness on the forum after he has passed . . .. What a wonderful community RWG is . . .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
