[modeleng] Re: What will happen to your equipment?

Alan,

Hmmmm................interesting question.

I currently take the view that, when I'm gone, my models and equipment will 
become the property of my descendents as specified in my will and it will be 
up to them what they do with them. It wont bother me because I wont be 
around.
 However I also take the view that I ain't planning on departing this world 
in the near future. Maybe if the grim reaper makes an appointment for the 
not too distant future I might start  to specify the fate of one or two 
particular treasures but most of them are too damned heavy and cumbersome 
for a "normal" person to cope with.
