I would love to know how long FWBrinkman spent tidying up his workshop before taking that photo !!😉

You have done a good job searching, finding and treasure them. People don’t have an idea how much time and hours the builder has put in
Wel done Modelboat builder friend

Trev,
I have most of them posted to my "Harbour", here.
I feel fortunate to be able to collect and save/store them.


Rick,
I have a heated shed where I keep most of them. (picture of part of the shed storage attached)
I do have my sites set on some areas in our Family Room to rotate boats on display.
Still trying to convince the Director of Domestic Affairs to allow me to do this.

Hi Dave,
You must have quite an extensive collection by now?
You have acquired some very nice vessels 👍👍👍👍
Trev

Wonderful you are able to save these boats DW. In seeing them all what kind of space to you have to store these fine boats.
Rick

hermank,
In the case of the boats I posted yesterday, they all belonged to a long-time member of our club who had an extensive collection..
After he passed, they sat in storage for a few years before being passed on to younger members of his family.
It seems at some point they were divided up between several heirs, none of which had any interest in the hobby.
In the process, some were cared for, transported, and stored more carefully than others were.
I happened to find a couple of them on FB marketplace. This led to finding more of them with another heir.
The boats were not appreciated by the current owners, and they were looking to part with them.
The heir/owners considered them more of a liability than anything.
I offered a fair price, considering condition, and they accepted. I only got about 1/3 of the boats he had.
