Gerry Bridge Posted January 8, 2024 #1 Posted January 8, 2024 Hi my father made a model of the Revenge many years ago which now needs some attention. He did make 3 more ships which are in glass cases and in good condition. Does anyone know of a model ship restorer near Bolton or the North West to save me learning a new hobby Helge Hafstad, mtaylor, Baker and 1 other 4
Keith Black Posted January 8, 2024 #2 Posted January 8, 2024 Gerry, welcome to MSW. learning the model ship hobby is not a bad thing unless you absolutely hate the idea of it. As we get older learning new things helps keep our ole gray cells functioning properly. If you have no desire then i hope you're able to find someone to repair your father's model, being able to enjoy a father's passion is a blessing. Glad to have you aboard. mtaylor, scrubbyj427 and Nirvana 3 Current Builds: 1870's Sternwheeler, Lula Wood Hull Screw Frigate USS Tennessee Decorative Carrack Warship Restoration, the Amelia Completed: 1880s Floating Steam Donkey Pile Driver Early Swift 1805 Model Restoration
CPDDET Posted January 9, 2024 #3 Posted January 9, 2024 Welcome Jerry! While I don't possess the skils necessary for your project, perhaps you could post some pictures of the needed work so people on this site can give their input/advice.

gsdpic Posted January 9, 2024 #4 Posted January 9, 2024 Welcome Gerry. You might also want to clarify.....I assume you are referring to Bolton, England, but MSW has members world wide so that might not be obvious to everyone and who knows, maybe my assumption is in correct. Also, search for any local modelling clubs, ship modelling or otherwise, if you have not done so already. Perhaps they will know of someone who can help. mtaylor and Keith Black 2 - Gary Current Build: Bluejacket Friendship Sloop Completed Builds: Blue Jacket America 1/48th Annapolis Wherry Artesania Latina Sopwith Camel Fujimi Dino 246GT Tamiya Lotus 49 Tamiya Lotus 72D Tamiya Lotus 78 Tamiya Porsche 917 (x2) Revell Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2
