Hi Guys,
Does anyone on the site make or may know who makes ships' hulls in either wood, resin, or 'glass?
In particular, I'm looking to find out how much it would cost for a hull to be made.
The ship is the USS/USCG GLACIER AGB-4 Icebreaker. I haven't committed to which scale to use yet. Thats going to be based in part on how many items such as armament and propellors,etc., is commercially available AND if a hull can be sourced for it and at what cost.
I do have a set of detailed US Coast Guard blueprints available to use for this purpose. This 'ol girl has an interesting history and was chosen as a historical landmark by the US Historical Society!
As a final note,the Glacier was one of two ships that my brother served on in 1959 to 1961.
I would be greatly indebted to anyone who could help me with this project.
I can be contacted by a personal email: mgill49@yahoo.com or an PM through this site.
Sincerely,
Martin Gilligan
