The Ship Model Forum

Hello Chris:

Although your post is a few years old, I can build realistic plastic model ships with, of course, modifications. If still interested, do contact me.

Many thanks!

Hello everyone,
I am posting this for a friend of mine,who is in need of someone to build a model for him. He wanted me to build the Charles W. Morgan whaling ship,but the problem is that I have never really built a sailing ship before.
So with that in mind,does anyone know of who can do this project for him? I can build it but I have NO idea how to do the rigging,much less how to make it realistic and not a toy like model. I don't even know the proper terminology to even know what ship builders are talking about.The problem I'm having is that everyone that I talked to wont do plastic ships only the wooden ones.
So if anyone could help me in directing me to someone who can do this,I would be grateful.
Thank you.
Chris
