well, i highly respect you stepping up to the task.
Should have guessed . . . many multiple sets . . .
WWII as well . . .
It appears he supported a lot of venders. . .
Heh heh - he was obviously one not to disappoint Clipper!
You might want to just make one inventory of everything, then see if any dealers want to buy the lot for resell in their stores.
A veritable cornucopia of 'all things plane' seems to have been upended at your feet, Dave!This is truly a magnificent collection that Hunter had amassed. Sobering, too, for those of us getting up in years who have been stockpiling those things we are interested in. Sending positive vibes your way as you wrestle with this collection and bring it to heel.
All the best,
Matt
Oooooh!
Some very interesting decal sheets, there..................
The task just keeps getting bigger - I hope the Elves are giving Dave a hand!

Had totally forgotten these:
Are those Ares or Nexus products, or self made? They look pretty interesting.Had totally forgotten these:
Those look great. Are these home made? I hope the files section has them.Had totally forgotten these:
Every photo you put up I see something I like!
Aerodrome products it seems . . .
Thanks Clipper!
Just brought home the last 18 boxes/tubs of plastic models from the Hunter's hanger along with a few boxes of books and board games. That should be it. . . . now for some serious sorting . . . .
Dealers would probably not want to invest that much for this enormous collection that is worth thousands. I would suggest maybe a raffle at $100 per ticket with the winner paying the Fedex shipping costs.
Sqawk!! Cave of Wonders - Cave of Wonders! Sqawk!! This continues to be an amazing experience, David - I look forward to what you decide to do with it all. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.
All the best,
Matt
Good luck with this task, Dave.
Thinking now about my collection of miniatures, board games & books...
Voilŕ le soleil d'Austerlitz!
A treasure among the odds and ends!
An amazing collection for sure. Very interested in what you decide on. This is a wake up call for all of us with similar collections our better half, or family will have no idea what to do with.
Additions to the library . . . a few duplicates . . .
Indeed, it is a challenge. It does help to have interested kids and grands though postage overseas is steep . . .An amazing collection for sure. Very interested in what you decide on. This is a wake up call for all of us with similar collections our better half, or family will have no idea what to do with.

love this game.
MONSTER collection!
Trying to NOT think about my own, in similar circumstances.
Best of luck sorting it all, Clipper!

I understand the desire to avoid Ebay but if we want this to grow and not become a dwindling group then we need to find ways to encourage people to play.
Some items may be best on here but some should be sold on Ebay but with a clear link to this site to increase traffic and number of players.
That would be a good memorial
Good point about the link to the Drome Mark.
I am now thinking of cataloguing my collection and writing a codicil to my will entailing bits of the bulk of it to various friends etc.

Clipper - respect where it is due for what you are doing.
Incredible David, you honour Terry's memory with such a selfless task.

Hunter had a huge interest in jets too, especially VN era . . .
Boxes and boxes of FToys etc 1/144" scale jets! Gots me thinking . . .
Then there are these . . .
This just keeps going . . . . . .

Quite the American balloon buster!
Another box just dropped off. Vintage book of model building by Aurora dated 1961, well used! Sets of expansions for Queen of the Sky. . .
More minis, never opened . . .
He must have really liked the HP0400! 8 of them? : )
Juan would need a massive table to put 8 HPs on at the same time
In one of the pictures it showed 5 Zeppelin Staakens, if you wanted to do all of those plus fighters, and then the Handley Pages with fighters, think of how much more room you would need!Juan would need a massive table to put 8 HPs on at the same time
Way back in the VERY early days there were threads where the gamers used 1/48" scale plastic models on posts in a field outdoors to play a mega game, others used gyms for indoor battles, yard sticks and huge movement cards to boot, like I said that was years ago . . .
huh. i didnt even know there were expansions for b-17 queen of the skies.
