Asking for help

[thomasw100]

So my two large painted diplodocoids (Barosaurus and Maraapunisaurus) from Lana have arrived two days ago. They look just beautiful. Maraapunisaurus is fine, but unfortunately Barosaurus suffered a transport damage. The tail piece broke off right where it connects to the remainder on the model, actually the connector between both parts has been broken through.

Now I am asking for help from the community. Does anyone know a professional that would be able to repair the model and would live not too far away from Aachen in Germany, possibly in the Netherlands or Belgium? I really do not want to ship this giant back and forth and would like to be able to deliver and pick it up in person. I would very much appreciate suggestions and, if possible, also the contact information of people who could do the repair (please PM for the latter).

I have posted this message in another thread, but as the only suggestion so far was to fix it myself, I take the liberty to repost this in a separate thread now. I note that if I had the ability to fix it myself, I would not reach out to the forum on this matter.

While there are a fair few Dutch and German forum members, they are in various regions and I don't know many who are active in repairs/remodeling or the like. I'm sure plenty of people would be happy to help if they could, but I'm not sure anyone here has the skills or knowledge you're looking for. I wonder if you called a local hobby/train/model shop, if they might be able to recommend someone who doesn't necessarily specialize in dinosaurs but who has a good eye for color, a steady hand, and the right kind of patience.

If nothing comes of my suggestion, Halichoeres' idea is sensible.

How about these? It seems like they can fix it:
