Has anyone heard from Hans Von Hammer used to be a regular on this forum.
Nope. Been some time since we’ve heard from him.
No, he has been away for a few months now. I believe he was having some issues with internet connection. I was hoping he was going to be back to run the D-day GB. So I am guessing it must be something major for him to miss that.
I already wondered for some time, when is a thread like this going to pop up. The fact, that he’s missing sure is disturbing. The world wonders, as the-man-whose-name-is-not-to-be-spoken used to write…
Have a nice day

Well I am hoping that he is at least in good health and circumstances, and just too busy to check in here… he is certainly missed by yours truly here.
He is missed here as well.
Was he on any other forums that anyone knows of?
I asked him that very question one time. I think he said something along the lines that this site was already enough to keep him involved enough, he didn’t need more sites to keep active in the hobby.
I miss Hans also, we had sort of a friendly opposite thing in our posts,think Hasegawa vs Monogram, Enamel vs Acrylic, resin vs home made,wow,what did we agree on??,hah,oh,we agreed on enjoying plastic model building
I am sure he will be back whenever he gets his real life stuff all sorted,sometimes we all end up too busy to post even once a month,I remember being thought of as an MIA on MM once, because I hadn’t logged in anywhere for 3 or 4 months,Anne was getting emails asking about my health, I had been busy so long

I hope Hans is ok. Fortunatly I know it sometimes happens that members return after a long hiatus.
I sure miss Hans.[:'(]
He always posted interesting builds, knows hundreds of scratch building tips,
and threw in his “cranky , but love-able old codger” routine just to keep us lurking.[;)]
He had some major surgery to his… ? knees, hip, leg??? Maybe he’s completely healed up & too busy using the rehabbed limbs to sit still & build a model kit???
Maybe he rode off into the sunset with Manny and Bondoman…
Seriously, I hope he is OK too.
I’m sure the Hammer is doing just fine… at least I hope so. As a fellow Hawkeye, I should just look him up sometime.
That might be a good idea Reasoned. How far does he live from you?
He lives about 2 1/2 hrs west last I knew, unless he’s moved.
any floods or other disasters that could have knocked out his living situation? I remember he had that happen a couple of years back.
Not that I know of. I think he wanted to get back to Texas but not sure the timing was right yet.
Yes, he did have a lot going on. Medical issues with him and the baroness, working bail enforcement, working for a guy flipping houses, and occasionaly chiming in on here…
That’s good to know staying busy and that he is alright. Hope to hear some words of wisdom from him soon.
…and don’t forget being a proud papa of two in the US Army [t$t]
