In 1972, I completed and sold a miniature of the barquentine Osburgha that I sold for £16. It turned up on Ebay 10 days ago with a starting price of £180, and sold at 2000 today for £255. They are now turning up all the time, although I am no longer building them, but it was good to know that this one has survived 52 years. Scroll down to the bottom to see the listing.

The Osburgha is now on its way to Panama. Collectors are still asking for models, despite the announcement some time ago that I am finished with them owing to dust and glue fume allergies.
