It's ONLY because my legs are still messed up and I can't leave the house.

Otherwise, I'd probably be working on machinery in India.

I got two kits from the auctions - one of which my wife will build and the other I'll be building with my oldest daughter. Both are 'collectors kits' but not ones that don't pop up regularly on ebay.

Speaking of opening an older kit, personally we never purchase a kit at any price that isn't going to be built at some point but I do have a suggestion for those who buy older kits and open them.

Several times before building an older kit we've sent parts to Moldin' Oldies (now done by Sirius) or decals to Tango Papa, so they could be cloned or reproduced. Do your fellow hobbyist a favor and please consider letting David at Sirius, or Tom at Tango Papa, use the parts and decals from the older kits to add to their inventory, so others can build clones too. The parts you send to Sirius to clone will be returned and most of the time you can just send Tom a scan of the decals.

Give it some thought before you build.

In my case, one was the original edition of Estes' Star Trek Enterprise, which I believe is material that is rather accessible already. (That's for my wife.) The other is the original MPC edition of the Flat Cat boost glider. My daughter had asked for one, and reviews indicated that the MPC edition was a bit better than the current version by Quest, so I thought I'd pick up this MPC version for her. I'll probably be scanning whatever decals, patterns and such are included in it. But otherwise I don't believe it has much that's unique, and they do appear rather regularly for sale.

But I do agree. Any legacy materials should be shared and duplicated/archived if possible. It's a vital resource in many hobbies I've been involved with.

Just wanted to jump in here and say that Verna recently won one of the auction items and she was very pleased with the entire transaction.

Hi everyone,
I just listed 14 kits on ebay It seems to take a little while to show up on ebay so check back if you don't see anything.

I would like to thank everyone for bidding on all these kits. It is really helping out our club and we really appreciate the support.

Thanks to those who post links to my auction.

My Ebay user name is mkadams001

I have posted another batch of kits on ebay. This one is an interesting lot so please stop by and take a look.

Our club really appreciates everyones support. Thank you

Here is the link to the listings: http://shop.ebay.com/mkadams001/m.html"]

I've picked up a couple Centuri kits from this series of auctions and I must say the kits have been in very good to excellent condition, well packaged for shipment which is VERY important for these kits (postal damage is a VERY strong pet peave of mine), and shipped in a very timely manner. Triple A Plus for this eBayer!

I hope the proceeds help the club....just sorry for the circumstances that brought this collection out for sale to begin with. I know it's been some number of years now since your friend's passing, but condolences I guess really are never 'too' late.


Earl
