Boeing 707

Can you guys remember these items that i started to make for the Boeing 707 {see attachments} Whilst still in a builders block with the Boeing B-52, i decided to carry on and try and finish the B-707. I have been trying to get hold of the original designer of this model {Bob B.} to try and get his permission to do a re-paint of his model - does anyone know of his where-abouts or have some contact details i could use to get in touch with him ? I would be most grateful if someone could help. The Original model can be found here:
The Lower Hudson Valley Paper Model E-Gift Shop I got in contact with John, and he couldn't get hold of Bob B. Thanks in advance guys.

I've also found the model here:

Along with an uncolored version, and a KC-135R

No contact info, however...

Thanks for the input guys. Seems like Bob B is hard to get hold of. I will keep trying. But the re-paint i have in mind {see attachments} This livery is one of my all time favourites. I would like to offer re-paints for various liveries, but i am unable to cope with such a venture - i would only ever do this one version for personal pleasure, but if i can obtain the original designers permission, i would of course make my version available to one and all. There are a few design changes needed {engines etc} but this aircraft and this livery is well worth the effort to me, and hopefully enjoyable to you who would like to build her.

Hey, I came to Canada on one of those!! (BOAC 707)

Pete, only thing you can do is, finish the repaint for yourself.

If you ever do reach the designer, you can ask for permission to share.

All of the connections to Bob Bendorf (that I can find) show postings from '05 and '06.
Seems like he has dropped off the Internet radar.
Lets hope not for unhappy reasons.
