Hi Again Sarah:
I might mention there is a lot of great advice above especially from John in Stanford. I have been restoring old models for the past five year and you can preview just a few on my profile pictures. also make sure you save a few for you and your family. I have a new six month old grandson and my plan is not only to teach him about model building but also the importance of preserving of saving a piece of history. thank you Sarah. Pat

Sarah,
I know what you are going through. I had a relative pass away who was a bit of a hoarder when it can to plastic models. I bought a glass display case and put maybe 25-30 on display in my house. Problem is I had to rent a storage unit to store the thousands that he had collected over the years. They are all very nice models just sitting boxed up. I have given away many over the years. Some to children, some to veterans. I know what you mean about not being able to throw them in a dumpster. Good luck with finding new homes for the ships. I have enjoyed giving the models away to people that have really enjoyed them. It may just take a little time.

Hi Sarah:
So sorry to hear about your dad. I'm 67 now and have building models for over 40 years. If you visit my post you will see my brief story about my poor eye sight and a little shake in my hands. I walked away from building until one day I was at an estate sale where several models were available. My first thought was the time and pleasure some had building these models. Some were in bad shape but I could not lease them behind. I purchased all of the and each model I restored and brought them back to life. The long and short of this I was saving a piece of history. What ever you do make sure they fall into the hands of people that will appreciate this very important and value piece of history. Your father would be very proud knowing someone else could love these models as much as he did. I live just across the boarder at Houlton Maine and do have many family members in West Port and Wilton. Thank you Sarah and if you don't mind I will follow along with you. Pat at Skiff Lake

Hi mate! All of the suggestions are great. Connecticut is a big sailing community. I am sure you can find a home for them. Please don't throw them away. Sorry about your dad.

Sarah,
I am so sorry to hear of your dads passing. His passion for his hobby must have brought much joy to the entire family.
I live nearby in lower Fairfield County and would love to have the opportunity to obtain one of his models. I belong to
the Connecticut Marine Modelers Society that gathers each month at the University of New Haven. In our 50 years of
existence we have experienced several of our members "pass over the bar", so to speak, leaving their families with the
same decision. Perhaps we can offer some help as many of our 40 members live in this part of Connecticut. Not sure
how you can contact me privately but am sure one of the administrators will help.
