POTM 2022 June Part 2 – Ancient Temple by Mauther (Papermau) built by Kevin WS

Hello Members:

This seems to be an appropriate time to pay tribute to a longtime member Kevin WS. His recent sudden passing was a shock. Kevin had created a number of excellent threads. Many of them were renditions of various birds. However, more than one member mentioned to me their favorite was Kevin’s “Temple of Sacrifice”, from June of 2021. So I chose it as a great representation of Kevin’s work. It is from the Architectural category, and contains a number of very well done photos.

Kevin’s Temple may be seen here:

Ancient Temple Of Sacrifice by Mauther (Papermau)



It required some time to sort through Kevin’s threads.
So I thought I would add two more links for those that want to quickly pull up more of his work.
They show his work with birds. Both of them are kits by Johan Scherft.

Hoopoe - Johan Scherft

Collared Flycatcher - Johan Scherft

Indeed a very appropriate POTM. Kevin has passed on to eternity, and the picture very fittingly captures this. Great choice and Rest in Peace Kevin.

I met Kevin a few years ago when he visited London. We have a very enjoyable day together.

I was very sad to hear the news but my memories of his visit will be remembered for a long time. My condolences to his family

Mike

I was shocked to hear of his passing, Kevin always commented on my work and we had chatted a few times via PM, as a fellow South African I say "Good bye dear friend"
Kevin WS... RIP
