I don’t think there ever were young master builders,takes years to learn and master the skill to build such masterpieces,and also youn people are busy raising kids an other stuff,this is just my opinion.
 
G'day Uwe
You're doing a great job there mate, I know it's a very difficult assessment to be there among the 'Royalty of Modelers'.:eek::rolleyes: But someone has to do it.....
Wish it was me!;):p​

I had the possibility to meet and make intensive talks either with Didier Berti from ancre as well as with Gerard Delacroix.
In december I will get my copy of the monographie of the 90-gun ship Saint Filippe, and will make asap a book / planset review here in our forum. It is pure scratch built.....
 
I am back in Vienna after 1.800 km travelling with the car - the event was worth every km driving.
I will continue with the models
