milo Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I am currently re-arranging my models and getting some new shelves in and thought its about time I listed all my models down for insurance purposes. I am hoping to do this on excel and was wondering what headings do you guys use? I currently have: Cat No. Description Boxed Y/N Condition When it comes to the pricing on you models, do you go on what you paid for it or current market value? thanks simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbo Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 There was a fantastic topic on here about this some time ago and if I remember rightly the person had used Microsoft Publisher, he had taken photos of both his models and of the real tractor and built up a data sheet for both, you have got me thinking now and I am probably going to spend all night on here looking at old topics and trying to find it \ \ \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 This topic made me think I should be photographing my models as well. I started the task last night but didn't get too far... I can see it being a long slow process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
