Andy,
Sorry to hear about this issue, its truely sad to have such issues in such a small community. You would think we would all have enough mutual respect for each other to at least look out for one another's best interest. But i do have an offer if you so choose to take up on it.

I'll be moving into a new home (which means a bigger shop) here in the next 2 weeks. I'll have enough room to bring on an extra build or 2 through the winter. If you would be interested, i'll take on one of your projects to build/complete with no expected compensation (IE, i'll do it for free, you just supply the materials). Once it is complete and you receive the model back, if you so choose to compensate me for the work involved, so be it. If not.. merry X-mas/happy holidays Again, i'm not expecting anything in return, This is just my was of trying to help out a fellow modeler. The only stipulation I have, is that their not be a time frame (don't worry, i'm not going to keep the model for 2+ years w/o any work done) for completion due to the nature of my job, i could be home 25 days a month, or gone for 6 months straight. But a build thread will be done so as to allow you and anyone else to follow along with the process.

If interested, lemme know.
Thomas
