I will miss his humor and his models, I appreciated Fiddler's Green to no end, the first commercial paper model site I ever found, and the first set of paper buildings I ever folded together were his. I used them for green plastic armymen battles! RIP

Long before I started building paper models, the picture postcards with models from something called "Fiddlers Green" fascinated me. Without a doubt, the idea of being able to make good-looking models from a picture postcard was immensely appealing. Having bought one and studied it (not sure I ever built it) I was definitely hooked - even to the point of purchasing those sweets recommended for making wheels.
In hindsight, I can truly say that the Fiddlers Green concept was one of the main influences that made me cross over from big balsa models to small paper models. I have never regretted that. I never really registered the name Chip Fyn until arriving here, where I came to understand his impact on the paper modeling community. Thank you, Chip, for touching me as well. Leif |

I just woke up to the news that Chip passed away.
My heart is heavy with sorrow. I've built his models and I've talked briefly with him in the internet. I always felt that he was a good and generous human being. An artist that always paid more attention to people and models than to profit. To his family and friends, my condolences. Thanks Chip.

I am really sad to hear this.
I will miss Chips humour and his presence in the paper modeling arena. While we all have to go, this does not lessen the loss. RIP. |

Does anybody know what his plans for the future of Fiddlersgreen were? I know for a while he was worried it would die with him.

Rest in Peace Chip, you'll always be one of my favorite model designers.
