It's a difficult thing for a museum. They don't really want to turn gifts away, but if it doesn't fit their mission, it's likely it will languish before being discarded by the ones that make them decissions then left up to some sap like myownself to discard.
All one can do is advise them of what you got, some photos of them and hope for the best.
Sad to say, but there it is.

When I go I don't give a sh!t what happens to my models. All that matters is that I found satisfaction with them in life.
That might be the best way to look at it...

I guess in the end, Old 6 above is right.
They give us satisfaction in the building of them,
and is all that counts.

Do you remember building them? - Probably not.
Do you remember blowing them up? - You bet.
So which brings you the most satisfaction?

I remember I had an E-boat, Revell, I think it was. Put it in a pond in the creek and then climbed up an 80ft or so bank. I then took out my pellet gun with the intention of putting a hole in the water line and watching it sink bow first before slipping gratefully under water. Well, being 10 or so, and not understanding ballistics, my first shot proceeded to take off the entire upper deck and the hull rolled over on its side and bobbed up and down. Very undramatical.

When I was a kid, my friend actually built a model with his devious plans for its destruction already in mind. A plastic pill jar was filled with lighter fluid, glued shut, and installed in the fuselage during assembly. A hole drilled in the wingtip received a stout string. On the day of its demise, the model was taken to an open field, set ablaze and swung around on the string until it exploded.
If only we had Youtube back then.....

Built a French sail ship once and used it for aquarium decoration, after i detoxified it first of course. It became the home of several fish over the years. The little fish used it as a hideout from the larger ones from time to time.

When I in High school, my little sister decided one afternoon to make my models fly.
Thats why we love em. My sister smashed all the masts on my HMS Victory model the day after I finished the rigging. "Can you fix it, it doesn't look that bad" she said. It was a passable if un researched model of Victory after trafalgar not before it.
