Some of the work of longtime Dalek and Doctor Who fan Julian Vince has been saved from destruction, but much of it will now either go to public auction or be destroyed.
Fans of Julian’s Doctor Who-related creations rallied to support him to try and save his work, but ultimately the sheer cost of a full rescue and other complexities, not least the sheer amount of personal items mixed with cult memorabilia, defeated eleventh hour support for his cause, the appeal previously reported on downthetubes.
Julian Vince has given his own account of his circumstances on Facebook.
Sites such as ibidonstorage.co.uk are likely to feature any upcoming storage sale.
