Im Mary and have a ship model collection at the Buckler's Hard Shipyard Trust, home to the 18thc shipbuilding village in Hampshire, UK where 55 ships were built for the Royal Navy between 1744 and 1815. We have some wooden ships models in need of a few repairs in our museum collection, just in case there is anyone out there who would like to pop over and help me out. Check out www.bhshipyardtrust.org.uk and www.bucklershard.co.uk
 
Hi Mary, welcome to the SOS group. We know from our membership lists that you have many very skilled ship modelers in the UK. Good luck in your quest to find help. I know how important it is to a maritime museum to have qualified help in maintaining a model ship collection. The club I belong to had made arrangements to clean and repair the model ships in the maritime collection of the Carnegie Museum in Port Huron Michigan. In return for our assistance the museum gave the club a room to hold the monthly meetings in. Perhaps you could check around and see if this type of arrangement would be beneficial to you. Like so many others on this site I am a bit far away to help out.
Jim
