Civil war vessels

[Joe E Brown]

Here's a quick page I threw together for you guys. If you're
interested in the name or information about a particular vessel,
contact Lamar Roberts at the museum. It would probably help to send a
pic of the boat since he has over 50 models on display. I don't have
any info on them and he really knows his stuff. His email is on the
page.

Hi Joe,
Some great shots of some magnificent museum models on your web page. For
those of us who will probably never get the opportunity to visit the museum,
can you give any information about the "models for sale" like scale,
quality, price? If they are model priced rather than collectable priced I
may be interested in enquiring to the museum about mail order, just thought
an opinion may help with the decision.

Out of curiosity, did anyone here actually buy the Pevensey and Adelaide
models after I gave the address details a while back? The ones I am working
on are about 85% and 70% completed but have had to be shelved for the time
being. At the ripe old age of 53 I (rather stupidly, me now thinks)decided
to make a career change to a totally different industry, this tired old
brain needs all the time I can give it to acquire and absorb all the
information needed for the new position. Boy oh boy, the things we will do
just to get free Cable TV.

Graham,
I believe the kits ranged from $30 to $60 U.S. currency. The kits are
of solid wood and moderate detailing. Overall they are nice looking
display models a little longer than an average man's foot. Try
contacting Lamar Roberts at grayblue@bellsouth.net

Their website is http://personal.lig.bellsouth.net/lig/g/r/grayblue/

If you have trouble with reaching him with email let me know and I'll
contact him by phone.
Best regards,
Joe
