T. MURRAY CLEARWATER

This is a photo of T. Murray Clearwater (1936-1987). He was a founding member of the IPMS Winnipeg chapter (International Plastic Modellers Society) in 1968 . In the photo he can be seen restoring a TCA Constellation for a summer aviation show at the Western Canada Aviation Museum (WCAM) in about 1986. He was also a founding member of WCAM in 1973, now called the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada. He started model building as a small boy; working on balsa flying models and cutting up the tablecloth in his mother's kitchen. He moved on to drafting plans for steam locomotives, and worked more than 30 years for CNR as a carman and safety inspector. He built mainly plastic and resin models of bush planes and other Canadian civil aircraft. 

I thank him for what I know about building plastic models.
