ccoyle Posted August 30, 2023 Share #3 Posted August 30, 2023 Have moved topic to appropriate area. Carol, people looking for restoration help will attract more interest in their project if they post a number of photos of the model in its present condition. Also, I must warn you of two things. First, not too many folks will be interested if the model is a typical curio item such as is typically sold in nautical gift shops. Second, people who specialize in restoration work may occasionally do it out of the goodness of their hearts, but normally they expect to be compensated for their work, and it is not inexpensive. This topic sheds more light on the subject. Kind regards, Chris scrubbyj427, mtaylor, Keith Black and 1 other 4 Chris Coyle Greer, South Carolina When you have to shoot, shoot.

Carold Posted August 30, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted August 30, 2023 I’m looking for a modeler to repair a kit model of the Charles W Morgan, a whaler located at Mystic Seaport. The model belonged to my late husband and has sentimental value. The repairs are fairly minor but beyond my skill level. I expect to pay you and the amount is negotiable. The boat is in Seattle and is probably too fragile for shipping. If you’re interested and you’re in the Seattle area, please contact me! ~Carol mtdoramike, Ryland Craze, LEGION 12 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtdoramike Posted August 31, 2023 Share #5 Posted August 31, 2023 I'm sorry to hear of your loss and quite understand the sentimental feeling regarding the model since I'm sure your husband loved the model. It's a shame we are not closer, I may possibly have considered the opportunity to make the Morgan whole again and bring you a little closer to your loved one. I have restored models in a lot worse shape than this, but this one would be a fairly easy fix. Hopefully someone will step up and take on the challenge.

Jim Rogers Posted September 21, 2023 Share #6 Posted September 21, 2023 Carol have you found someone to restore your Morgan? I live in Bremerton and if you can get the model to me I’ll give it a go. You would need to pay for material, I usé primarily Syren Ship Company products. I am NOT a professional and will charge nothing for restoration. Here are a couple of photos of my last build.
