Dear Richard - no full name - no call - no location - probably not a
real E-mail address:
Let me see if I understand: You have the strange idea that someone
who has the experience and skill to craft for you an expensive design
(for free) is looking for something to do. Strange indeed.

I bought some "models" from Mr Cebik.
This is what he says in his notes:
" Although many of the designs may be directly built from the models in this
collection, the models themselves are for study purposes. Perfecting the
design to a level that permits construction of an antenna that is both
electrically and mechanically sound is your responsibility.

This is my problem and what I was asking for. I can mess around with the
models quite freely, but perfecting the design to a level that is both
electrically and mechanically sound is right now beyond me. What you are
saying is that this task is such a huge one and requires great skill. Not
easy then for your regular Joe ham to do much with the models in a practical
way. He/she has to become something of an antenna buff for that to
transpire. And because the task is so demanding, no antenna buff would ever
consider producing an actual contstruction design for anyone, apart from
him/herself maybe. And then he/she might condescend to allow others to
copy his/her design.
