• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Easily confused.
I just wanted to let you all know that I've decided to hang up my paintbrushes and retire as a skinner. In all honesty, I just can't be bothered anymore.

Cheers,

PomBee.
 
I for one will miss your work I have enjoyed your repaints. I hope it's more of a break rather than a complete departure from skinning.

Thanks,

T.
 
When the muse departs, I guess that's all you can do.
Thanks for your efforts, they are much appreciated by us lesser mortals and, we hope, the muse will return again one day.

If not.....so long, and thanks for all the fish...........
 
Oh man that's sad news. You and SC were the best skinners of the modern generation- Thanks for all your hard work and those wonderful skins!!:salute::bump:

Pombee,

I am sorry to hear this...I hope this is not a permanent situation, but godspeed in the meantime.
 
I know the feeling Paul - sorry to see you go, but at least we can still enjoy your Legacy ..............

Godspeed,

Jim
:salute:
 
Thank you Pombee for all your great skins that dressed "our" airplanes.
:applause::applause::applause:

I hope to hear from you soon. Enjoy your new free time or new activities.

Cheers, Discus
 
Thanks for all the kind words, guys. I hope that I can make a comeback at a later date, but the spark's just not there at the moment. I'll still drop in as and when I get the chance, but the farm takes priority for the foreseeable future.

Cheers,

Paul.:ernae:
 
I think many of us hit a burn out point at some time or another. I took two years off between the Spain campaigns and the 9thFS campaign, and a year off after that one before thinking about doing the 354thFG campaign. So perhaps at some point in the future it will appeal to you again. I'm sure we all hope so, but take care of yourself first. Thanks for all your fine contributions, you will be missed while you are away.

Hello PomBee

Will miss your repaints - you were also one of those who inspired me to start pushing those damn pixels around. :ernae:
Know the feeling about loosing the interest - had a struggle with that a few times myself.

Look after yourself and the farm (I'm currently staying at a relatives farm doing a bit of clearing for him).
Also looking forward to seeing you back sometime !!!!!!!

Regards, Seagull V
 
G'day PomBee, Love your work!
But I know the feeling. I have only done one repaint (B26) since doing a bunch for Lindsay's P40B and lost that in a meltdown. I'll get back to it sometime and I'm guessing you will too. It's a lonely pastime but rewarding,
Cheers
 
Pombee,
sorry for your decision, but however many thanks for all your nice works!!
 
Thanks for all of the kind words. I hope that I'll get the bug again, but we'll have to see what the future brings.

UncleTgt,

Lovely job of the Digby skins for the Bolo.

Cheers,

PomBee.:ernae:
