Model Forum / General / Railroads / February 2010ISO: experienced model maker
I am looking for someone with extensive model building experience to assemble and paint some high-end railroad structures. These building kits are expensive and I do not have the talent to build them and I want to avoid blemishes. I am seeking someone to build these structures for me. Fee is negotiable. Can anyone give me some advice on finding someone to build thes HO scale models for me? . > I am looking for someone with extensive model building experience to > assemble and paint some high-end railroad structures.

This is an appropriate place to post such a request. >>>>> I am looking for someone with extensive model building experience to >>>>> assemble and paint some high-end railroad structures.

This is an appropriate place to post such a request. The OP cross-posted to two 'model' groups: rec.models.railroad and rec.models.scale. I think 'Rufus' is on rec.models.scale and not on rec.models.railroad (and did not notice that 'rec.models.railroad' was included in the list of newsgroups. > >>>>> I am looking for someone with extensive model building experience to > >>>>> assemble and paint some high-end railroad structures.

Have you checked the local hobby shops and model RR clubs in your area? Those are the first places I would start, as you can check the quality of the work produced first hand. After that, it becomes much more difficult to check the quality of the work being produced, and much more easy to wind up with crap (best case) nothing (worst case).

You have experience with this?? In rec.models.railroad LDosser <LD@invalid.invalid> wrote: : You have experience with this?? Direct, personnal experience? No. I will not accept consignment work, and I am too egotistical to pay somebody to do the work I can do. Eventually. :-) However, I look at the "professionally built" models on ebay, and most of what I look at is nowhere near my standards. I am also aware of a very poor modeler who won first place at an IPMS/USA National contest (for plastic models), advertised that he was such a modeler (only entry in air- craft dioramas), and got some fool to send him a very expensive kit to build. It did not end well. Was the guy lying about his accomplishments? No. Was he misrepresenting his abilities? Oh yes.

These building kits [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >. Hello I'm a model builder with over 40 years experience. I have built boats, airplanes, cars, architectural models , but most of my experience is in model railroad sturctures. I have numerous of pictures of my work and can give you many references as to the quality of my work and my character. Much of my building over the last 30 years has been in quality kits such as Fine Scale Miniatures ,Sierra West scale models and Stoney Creek to mention a few , but mostly scratch-building. If you're interested drop me an email and we'll discuss it. Thank a bunch Ken |
