Wooden Ships and Electronic Auctions

I had enough childhood influences that made transitioning to wargaming plausible.  Tons of books on war, and war movies on Saturday afternoon.  My grandfather's train set was my pinnacle, although I did plenty of role-playing with the HO-layout in my own basement.  Plenty of green army men and Britains. 

There was also my Uncle Geoff, who was a master modeler of all sorts of kits.  I only saw flashes of his hobby room when I was a kid, but when he came up to visit years ago, right when I was doing my Tanga Campaign in the garage.   He had a lot questions, and we shared a lot of notes, drinking excellent beer.  

He passed away a few years after.  My aunt relocated to Pittsburgh to be closer to her kids, but she still brought him with her.  No, not a classy urn, just the hundreds of model kits from the hobby room.  Many of the smaller kits got donated, but she reached out to me a few weeks ago to help her get rid of the rest, a few kits at a time.   

The first wave I've received are your classic Snap-Tite car kits from the 80s....

 So many ships.   Just started doing research, but these ladies are fetching $100-150 apiece when I find them. 

Anyone interested is more than willing to make an offer, hit me up.  Otherwise, I'll be on eBay under viscounteric, casual buyer/seller since at least 1999.
