Jeff Henson Posted March 15, 2018 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2018 My father is 87 years old and in declining health. He began building the USS Constitution Wood Model Kit several years ago and by my estimation is 90% complete (looks like just the rigging needs to be finished--see attached photo). He is unable to complete the model and I was hoping to find someone, preferably in the state of Florida, who would be interested in finishing the model for my Dad (and we are quite willing to pay reasonable compensation as well as handling shipping as well). It would mean the world to my Dad to see his work completed. Please let me know if you know of anyone who would be willing to do this. Best regards, Jeff Henson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccoyle Posted March 19, 2018 Share #3 Posted March 19, 2018 Normally we don't allow topic bumping, but I think this topic merits an exception. I edited the title to hopefully entice a few more nibbles for you. mtaylor 1 Quote Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Thistle17 Posted March 19, 2018 Share #5 Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Jeff here is a suggestion that may help. Look on the The Nautical Research Guild web site under this sub text general listing. Hope this leads to a solution. Good luck. https://www.thenrg.org/links-and-sources-for-the-ship-modeler.php and right on this site under "someone looking to start a club in Palm beach". It is close to the bottom under Organization and Club News (parapharsed). I would have given you the direct link but it hung up my system for some reason.
