USA Model Buildup

Anyone know of any good model builders/painters in the US? I have an unassembled Horizon Brachiosaurus that needs finishing. I'd ship it off to Martin but shipping the finished model back would be infeasible.

I would try our very own Amanasaur Rex, I believe he is in the USA. Check out his Horizon JP builds here http://dinotoyblog.com/forum/index.php?topic=1831.0
If you want it to look like the movie his look pretty much spot on and from what I have seen he is fast too. Send him a PM I haven't seen him on here since September.

Thanks for the link. I have emailed him and will have to see if I get a response or not.

If you don't have any luck with Amanasaur rex, you might want to consider Steve DeMarco. He is in the US and his work is stunning. One of my fave model painters.

There's Shane Foulkes too.

Demarco does gorgeous work, not even a doubt but wow his prices are a bit yikes to me....I wish I could afford his work.

If that's true then I don't think that's an option for me as I already spent a lot on the kit itself.  :-\

Anyone know how Shane's rates generally are?
