Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Dear friends here in Lombardy it is a tragic moment... But we hope to get out of it ... almost everyone is in their own house, I have to go to work because we produce detergents, a primary asset then. I wish everyone to come out unscathed and do nice painting jobs or battles with our little plastic friends... but also to have a good time with your family. Un grande abbraccio dall'Italia. Marco.

Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Hi Marco,

I hope you are staying safe people like yourself and all our front line services are doing a great job. Our elected leaders seem to be treating this like a wartime setting which I think is totally correct. We must all do our bit by following the guidelines. Our Doctors, Nurses and people like you are now in the lead and we are all very grateful.

I have been to Rome many years ago and you have a beautiful country with lovely people. I am sure your country will get through this as your culture of family is still very important and that is wonderful in today's society.

Stay safe

Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Hi all, many thanks for the thoughts and sending them back to you all.

It's difficult isn't it, when you look down the list of reasons why it might be bad for you, and you realise that they might have written it by looking at your own medical records? :face_with_thermometer:

Still this is what we modellers and painters have been traing for for years. shut the world out, clean water in the pot and dive into the stash.

WE CAN DO THIS GUYS!

Actually I think the biggest danger to life in our house is me and my wife being locked in together for a couple of weeks.

Stay safe peeps and don't forget to keep hydrated, drink lots of fluids but remember - NOT THE WATER YOU WASH YOUR BRUSHES IN!!!

Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Hello all,

the nurses and doctors are now the real soldiers. Fighting a fight that they cant win in many cases. Stay healthy....and use the time...

All this from an little bat-virus... :skull:

Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Dear hobby companions, I live in Brazil. We are quarantined from today, which I think is too late. The authorities were not believing in the seriousness of the disease. The middle class, to which I belong, has material conditions to remain in social isolation. However, I am very concerned about the 100 million poor, who receive an average of $ 200 to $ 300 a month. They will continue to use public transport, which is always full, as they will have to continue working to survive. There will be a tragedy here in the country, as the public service is very precarious. I feel guilty, because I will be safe in my house, enjoying with my dear miniatures, painting and assembling kits, playing wargames on table trays, but my countrymen will not be so lucky. A hug of solidarity to all, because I know that this pandemic is universal, with thousands of deaths.

Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Thoughtful post Paulo and very sobering, I was going to say something flippant about toy soldiers but I don't have the heart for it now. I hope that one of the things that comes out of this is that we genuinely learn that "no man is an island" "ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee". We are one species and we need to love and care for one another whatever our race colour, nationality or creed because competition and conflict is a game with no winners.

Re: Stay Safe everyone.

Very well said Mr. Korn.

dear marco, you are one of those many heroes that keep doing their work in these difficult times. i'm just a lawyer from reggio emilia, i can mostly do my work safely from home, tribunals are closed, save for some extraordinary and urgent matters, every hearing is postponed.
for the most it's perfect time for painting, rearrange and reorganize collections.
all my respect and appreciation goes to you and your factory colleagues.
stay safe in your workplace, we need you!
