Ed, I want to build a vertical lift bridge like the one that Frank (zstripe) recently built.  I will buy the kit and send it to you to be built. 

Aw, Rich. I wish you had let me know sooner. I just committed to building a full-scale RMS Titanic in a bottle for a friend. When I'm done with that I'll look you up Whistling

What a coincidence! Frank told me that very same thing when I asked him to build it. Super Angry

All kidding aside, Ed, that is a very generous offer from you to the OP. You are a very good guy.

Ha!

The line forms just outside the door... just take a number and have a seat! The doctor will be with you shortly Big Smile

Sure, I have a stack of my own projects, but I'm a "multi-tasker" so I don't mind helping out where I can. Six more weeks of winter, too. It'll keep me occupied.

Hi, Jon

If you don't mind sending the kits to me in Ohio, I'd be glad to assemble and paint them for you and ship them back to you. I've built dozens of structure kits and I'd be glad to help you out.

Send a message to me if this is OK with you.

Jon,

You might get in touch with Stu Gralnik of Salem, Massachusetts. He has a business called Model Building Services that specializes in building kits and custom structures. I don't know what he charges, but I suspect such service comes a considerable cost. He has a website you can check for further details:

Bumping your post

Do you have grandchildren, nieces or nephews?  Anyone you know that is active in the boy scouts?

There are ads for professional layout builders, I expect they might charge more than you think.

Greetings:

 

I am looking for someone with better eyesight and manual dexterity than I to build 8 Walther Cornerstone Background building Kits. I live in Western MA and already have the kits, so just need them built, painted and weathered, or I can do the weathering depending on cost.
