A BIG hello to everyone here !

Long time ago since I was here I`m afraid.

I see a bunch of new names and I am happy to see some of the old ones as well.

Some things in my real life changed, so I didn`t find much time for doing props - guess this happens to most of you too from time to time.

Years ago I had more time to check out the boards, research for parts etc. - my store business was not that hard and time was left to go online.

The store business was going slower and I had to find a way to compensate this (I never learned anything else and still work in the same store since a quarter century) - well, I found a very good way and so I`m selling most of my stuff online now. Unfortunatly not much online time for myself.

During this time I think I left some very good friends here from the UK and US and I`m feeling really bad about this.

The online biz was growing step by step and I had some more helping hands and a bit more time myself. This time I spent at the house my wife and me bought 3 years ago, ya know a house is a never ending story specially when you buy a used house.

Finally the lack of online time drove me to build some custom designed blaster for the BBC contest from 2004 to 2007 where I got 3 first and 1 second places.

I`m still looking on a ton of unfinished props at my list and whyever I`m allready starting new projects

The list is quiet long but most things are made out of real parts and need a lot of time and patience to collect them anyway.

My daughter is now 8 years old and she loves Star Wars - I promised here to build R2 before she left the school LOL

Anyway I will do what ever I want to do without the time in my neck - I really need some more time for myself now.

So HERE I AM - PROST

Stephan

I'm sure we can all understand. Stuff happens and your priority should always be your family and well-being.

I'm glad you are back for however much time that may be.

Absolutely!



No need to feel bad my friend. We always knew you were busy, and that real life takes over a lot more than we sometimes want it to.

The best thing about this board is that as much as people come and go it remains a place where we can all come to when we can. It's good to see you back; hope you can stay around more now.

Hi Stephan,

Great to hear you will be around more often.

You are one of the foundations of this place, and by returning it has just got a bit stronger.





You know as soon as she's old enough, you have to break out the Aliens DVD!!!!

Glad to hear things aren't so hectic now.

Take care,

Andy.

Welcome back, Stephan.

How many times did I tell you that you were always welcome to come back Stephan?

Well, it was actually more like "You must come back when you have time... how about now!"

Glad to see you back here!

Russ

Thanks for the welcome guys

I think I have to read a bunch of threads which I have missed over the years LOL

Don`t want to start some about "cold" things.
