I've built up quite a collection of 1:43 scale models of Riley cars over the years but some are kits (white metal and resin) that aren't yet built. I'd love to make them myself but arthritis and imperfect eyesight means I won't be able to do a decent job.

I'd like to find someone willing to assemble and paint them for me - I'll pay of course - but haven't a clue where to start looking. I'm in Chesterfield, Derbsyhire and would like to be able to see the skill of anyone I entrust them to.

Any suggestions please?

Red Firecracker is very good at this sort of thing. It's certainly worth asking in any case.

I like to build kits myself but prefer the 1:24 scale cars

I'll get in touch with Red Firecracker to begin with - thanks. I want to be able to display all the models (about 90 at the last count) at Riley Motor Club events so need the models to look good.

From the work Red Firecracker's posted on PH , and the excellent decals he's produced for me in the past, I don't see you finding anyone better to build your models if you're after quality.
