Very nice of you Mikhail to remember Wayne in this way. Thank you for sharing. He will be missed.
Although the bulk of my collection is NOT in 1/43 scale, I never-the-less, have a fair amount. Wayne's wealth of knowledge was a blessing for guys like me... the "casual collector" in this scale.

Wayne Moyer will be missed. In this hobby there are many that collect, fewer that build/modify and and even fewer that do all those and write skillfully about the hobby and what they do. Wayne's writing was always a pleasure to read.

Wayne Moyer - my humble tribute.
Mikhail,
I noticed your post and then read #24002 below it. News of Wayne's passing greatly saddens me. He was an inspiration to me when I began to build models again upon retirement in 1999. Am now starting the process of divesting my wonderful "gems" and see his influence in all of my builds. Wayne still shines for me, may he rest in Peace.
I have often over the years suggested to others who are starting to build models to take a look at his tutorials. I cannot think of a better legacy for many of us left behind.
These are some of the best tutorials I know of, from GP Models in the UK, all contain wonderful info even if you never build an F1 car.

Sadly, can no longer find them on the GPM site - just checked.
Sincerely,
