I was looking to have a custom "Topping" quality model made for my father, and was wondering as to who y'all might recommend for such a project. Additionally, I was curious as to what I can can expect in regards to pricing, as well as other details such as turnaround time, etc. |

In light of the recent discussion regarding the color variations of the Topping Mercury escape tower nozzles I was curious about your plans for the color scheme for your escape tower replacements. |

Most likely, both. So if you have a broken tower with the two black nozzles or are missing the tower completely you'll get the two black, otherwise you can get the three red/orange set up. |

I was looking to have made a model of the Mark 17 Hydrogen bomb. My father was a Navy EOD during the Korean War, and due to his skill and service record, was selected to become qualified in the disarming of the weapon, something that he is quite proud of to this very day. The only model that I have found so far is one offered by a Philippine wooden model maker, but I've found the quality of these types of models to be somewhat wanting, so therefore I was looking to have a professional one made. |

Found a link to a 3D model (Can't vouch for its accuracy, however). |
