Bungle's stash cull and Models for Heroes
« on: December 31, 2020, 09:49:07 am »
Andy (Bungle)'s stash cull got me thinking: this might be a good opportunity to make a donation to Models for Heroes. I reached out to Andy with a proposal that I send him some money and he sends the kits to MFH.

The What-if SIG ran Operation Magpie, which provided the inspiration for MFH. With the lack of model shows this year, opportunities for a direct donation were fewer. While a financial donation to the charity is always possible, I like being able to donate model kits.

So, anyone want to join in?

I'll start digging out kits this weekend. They will be sealed kits where ever possible plus quite a few off their 'wishlist'.

I'm well up for that.  :thumbsup:

There's NO way I'll build fast enough to make all the kits in The Loft before my time is up. Even Dizzy couldn't manage that  ;D and they'd be going to places people will appreciate them I'm sure.

Harro (Hobbes) donated £50 to Model 4 Heroes trusting me to match the donation (I did) and put together a package.

Here is what will be making up the package....













All these models are sealed and I hope you agree make up a varied selection.

If anyone buys anything from my End of Year Stash Cull I will donate kits of equal value to Models for Heroes. If anyone wishes just to donate please do so by paypal to fraser299@hotmail.com and say what kits off the list you want me to add to the package or leave it to my best judgement. I realise this is all open to you putting your trust in me, all I can say is I won't let you down.

I have donated the following based on the Sale receipts from Smackers, Murfv and Freightdog862)



I have filled the box with a few others and am waiting on ParcelForce to collect the 12 kg of models for Models4Heroes in the What-If forums name.
