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?
Buy a current Model Railroader, a number of people advertise the services you want.

Also, I believe there is a model railroad discussion group.
What is this group???
On 2/14/2010 10:34 AM Wim van Bemmel spake thus:
Chopped liver?
He must be talking about some unspecified web-based forum or other.
General model builders...but we tend to be mostly aircraft and armor builders here. There are other groups that are more subject-oriented.

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).

Sound advice!
You have experience with this??
