psk125 Posted May 1, 2020 #1 Posted May 1, 2020 Have long been intrigued with ship models - to the point of spending an entire day at the Musée de la Marine in Paris, as well as long sessions at Washington’s Smithsonian, Mystic Seaport, and the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Have started many models and toy boats and have managed to complete one home-made ship in a bottle so far. Am currently working on a model of the Baltimore Brig Numa and hope the experts here will be able to provide help and guidance. Ryland Craze, mtaylor, ccoyle and 3 others 6

mtaylor Posted May 1, 2020 #4 Posted May 1, 2020 Welcome to MSW, psk125. I'd rather address you by name than login name. I hope you'll start a build log for the Numa. I don't think we've seen a log for her yet.

Jim Lad Posted May 1, 2020 #5 Posted May 1, 2020 Hello, and a warm welcome to the forum from 'Down Under. If you like models in museums, I would highly recommend your Naval Academy Museum at Annapolis, which is not too far from you. John JeffT, mtaylor and Ryland Craze 3

Welcome to MSW. As Mark said, start a build log so we can all enjoy your build - and help answer questions, solve problems etc. You're among friends.
