Happy Birthday Bessiere!

Happy Birthday David!

You have been a warm dedicated member here for some time now and I always enjoy seeing pictures of your painted figures. This enriches Bennos very much. I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees it that way.

Today on your birthday is a good moment to write this. And of course I congratulate you very much.

I wish you good luck and health; continue to enjoy the hobby and much inspiration for new projects large and small.

Have a great day with the people who are dear to you, as far as that is possible. And of course, let yourself be richly gifted!

Congratulations
Jan

What a lovely message in the OP.

I can't add to that but I'll endorse it - have a great birthday.

Dear David,
my best wishes for your birthday.
At our age, health is most important.
Therefore I wish you all the best and many more
years in the circle of your loved ones, and that we still much
hear and see from you.
My greetings to the man on the other side of the world.
Konrad

Wow, thank you so much gentlemen. I hit 64 today and I can honestly say that Bennos is a real lifeline for me. No one where I live (that I know) shares my passion for modelling and to have a group of friends online willing to share their work and knowledge and friendship is priceless. I do welcome criticism since I'm often blind to my own mistakes and have always benefited from the advice offered, so thank you. You are most singularly talented group and a tribute to our shared hobby. Thank you deeply for all your well wishes. You have really made my day special.
Cheers,
David

And also from me a happy birthday David!

Special note of thanks to our founder Benno.
It's been 15 years since I became disabled and found myself having increasing difficulty with each passing year. To have rediscovered a hobby that keeps me busy and pursuing goals is essential and Benno's has kept me inspired, learning more with every project and having a sense of community beyond the confines of my home. I wish to offer my sincerest gratitude for the platform and community that you created.
Cheers,
David

Good evening, happy birthday David and keep your spirits up.
When my head hit rock bottom 4 years ago I took up miniature painting again, having stopped 20 years earlier. It's helped me in every way and now that the slump is behind me I'm still painting when I can. Another happy birthday and good luck to you. Looking forward to seeing you on the forum. Best regards Raphaël.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes, you truly helped make it a good one. It was an excellent day taking a nice long walk with the wife and pups down at the river, something I rarely feel up to.
Cheers,
David

A day late, but happy birthday from me as well, David. 64 is a very good age - I’m (mostly) enjoying it! And yes, this forum has been a wonderful community for sharing our passions!

Best wishes,
Bill
