Half-Hull Model Workshop, presented by the Model Guild
October 26 & 27
Saturday & Sunday, 9am-5pm
Bay History Building
$80 for members, $95 for non-members. All tools and materials are supplied. Pre-registration is required by Monday, October 22. Call 410-745-2916 to register or contact Model Guild Director Bob Mason at 410-745-3266 or email bobmason@atlanticbb.net for more information.

Participants are invited to create a half-hull model of the Pride of Baltimore II. Band sawed from a block and carved to the rounded shape of the Pride’s hull, the half-hull model is then mounted on a baseboard to form a fine wall display piece. The Model Guild welcomes anyone 12 years of age or older to take these classes, and encourages new members of all skill levels to participate in the guild, use its facilities, and trade model building experience with Museum visitors.
