Help in Illinois
Posted by gtrapson on Sunday, January 9, 2011 11:22 PM

I am looking for people in northern (Chicago southern suberbs) that could halp me become a beter modeller.  Two years ago I  had an on the job injury and am somewhat disabled. I have gone back to modeling (I used to assemble models as a  kid) so as to keep me occupied. I  read alot but would love to have some more hands on direction. I would love to apprentice under someone who would consider taking the time to help me. If anyone knows how I can find help please help me. I have numerous models. I am interested in all genre's also (armor, aircraft, ships, cars). Thank you in advance for any help and happy modeling!
