Some of you knew my father who passed away last year. He left a vast collection of models from his own hand made ship models, that will eventually go to a museum, to buses trams aircraft and made up ship kits.

Please do not advertise your Ebay items.
You may advertise them yourself in the Sales section if they are not on that site.

btw.
Having been to the late calderwood snr house only once to deliver an item for the thread poster I was impressed by the workmanship of the scratch built ship models on display in the cabinet as they were of merchant ships and clyde steamers. Although they were what I would describe as full hulled waterline scale they were highly detailed and of a quality finish. I would imagine these would be headed for a museum, I am though unaware if Davids father built any working models.

It might be nice to post a new thread just celebrating your Father's skill.
Maybe a few photos of his favourite models - boats or otherwise - just before they are split up.
