Deere-est Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 My Plastruct, Roket glue and Milliput turned up today. EMA provide a superb service. I did forget to include some Plastruct in the order I didn't notice I'd ran out of though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 As Scottish & Southern Energy were turning off my power today I made arrangements to go to Sparkford and the Haynes Motor Museum to meet the curator. Had a good trip (it is so easy to find), visited Stu's collection (housed in one of their offices at the moment) and after a chat and a cup of coffee was let into the museum to see where the collection will be displayed. They have a lot of work to do before it will be exhibited but it is going into Hall 3, where they currently have "Collectors Corner" which it is replacing. The plan is for it to be open after Easter. Best news is that Stirling Moss knows the collection is now owned by the museum and I was told he has "very fond memories of it". Wow - it was 5 years ago he saw the small part we took to Stoneleigh Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Great news Sue. That really is 'in loving memory' if you don't mind me saying. Having such a national icon and outright legend such as Stirling Moss endorse Stu's collection must say something about the collector as much as the collection itself too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having such a national icon and outright legend such as Stirling Moss endorse Stu's collection must say something about the collector as much as the collection itself too Yes, Tris. I think that is true. The Curator, Mike Penn, is amazed at the detailed notes and reference material that went with the collection (all stored UNDERNEATH his desk). Today I took down the card index system that Stu had maintained and also gave him the database that I kept up to date for Stu. His words were "it seems he did not just collect models but was totally immersed in the subject". He is now compiling notes so a commemorative plaque can be made. I have to admit to being a bit tearful this morning when I saw all the models again in a corner of an office. The last time I saw them the cases were wrapped in bubblewrap for transit.
