Very sad news indeed, Loren made me back to ship modeling in the late 80s when I discovered that I no longer needed to make railings with entomologist pins and fishing thread to represent accurate railings. Many French modelers discovered and became fans of his fine range of PE sets when I introduced his range of accessory sets to L'Arsenal's catalog.
Thank you for all that you did for us Loren !
