He’s been fighting cancer for a while now, which hits close to home for me. The modeling community has lost a legend. R.I.P. Old Man.

[@nathanbond8165]

So, I don't build very many model cars so I was only tangentially aware of this master car model builder and while the body is gone his skills, his talent, his knowledge, will live on Forever on KZbin and the internet and he will teach generations of model car builders his master techniques that have yet to be born!! so we lost the man but we didn't lose the knowledge and honestly that's all anyone can really ever hope for in their life!! I just joined his KZbin channel and the very first video that I watched is a video with some techniques on using the new bare metal foil on model cars, well this is very serendipitous because I myself am experimenting with bare metal foil on a model aircraft that I'm working on so you see posthumously he's already taught me something.❤

[@jwrockets]

I watched a few of his videos. Great skills. Never purchased his DVD'S.

[@ronandanne1]

His videos were very engaging. He had a great way of explaining concepts. And he had a good sense of humor too.

[@modeltankguy]

Oh God ill miss his videos n great content 😢 rip

[@darenkitchens7522]

I learned how to perfect the process of professionally refurbishing business phones by studing the works of this great person. After months and months of failure & disappointment, I starting studying his techniques working with plastics, and gradually I became expert myself, thanks 100% to Donn Yost.

[@hoppy5631]

Very sad news indeed. My condolences to his family. We all have lost a great talent.

[@stephenmiller9124]

Very sad news indeed! Thank you for the advisory, Max. I never met Donn Yost, but enjoyed watching his instructive painting videos. The man clearly earned every bit of his legendary status within our scale automotive modeling community. May his soul rest in peace.

☆RIP Don☆ You are a legend and you will be missed by so many. It's already too quiet and boring here, now. Condolences to your family and friends. GodSpeed

[@lancerevell5979]

RIP, Donn. I didn't know of him until just now, but it always hurts to lose a fellow enthusiast in a hobby. I will search for his videos. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends. Our fraternity is getting smaller.

[@danielbritton8588]

The older you get the more this surprise comes around. Even more so with viruses. Also extreme weather. He just as well could have been in Lahina Maui. RIP..

[@traviswright456]

We lost a LEGEND. WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND THE SKILLS YOU TAUGHT US. REST EASY OLD MAN.🙏😔

[@joeschenk8400]
