Tribute to a Departed Modeller

[SafetyDad]

Pat, what a great post - thanks!

 

Like many others posting here I too can identify with a maladjusted stash/age/ability/time equation for my acquiring models and books.

 

And my kids too have little interest in my hobby.

 

In the past I helped an eBay seller (who was very sincere and well-intentioned but not a modeller) achieve a good result for a widow disposing of her husband's collection in distressing circumstances - she was nearly fleeced by a local trader who offered her pennies on the £ for the lot. I simply provided some on-line support and guidance to the seller about listing terms and phrases. 

 

No distress caused Pat - perhaps just a necessary reality check!

 

And a great job on the Heinkel- well done!

I have many estate kits in my hoard, and I expect to leave many to whoever takes up the torch after my passing.  We are but custodians, and the ride never ends.

Please do not think you have upset me ,far from it .The story and what you did is heartwarming. Personally i had been thinking about things for a few months now .So i have sorted out what will happen to my collection, and i feel a lot happier now ,and now one less thing to worry about. So again thankyou for such a heartwarming story  ,stay safe and well all the best HOMER .
