One of the biggest influencers of the hobby, in my opinion. Look at almost any ancient figures of the 1980's to 1990s and you will see Ians influence. RIP |

Very true, Nic, especially with older figures. They came right off the illustrations in his books. |

He was a stellar figure in our hobby. I own and treasure many of his books still. He was a friend to many who never got to meet him in person. God bless him and his friends and family in this hard time. |
