Hello everyone. Last year I successfully completed the construction of the Le Gros Ventre model according to Gerard Delacroix's monograph (published on modelshipworld.com) and I chose L'Amarante as my next model (also according to GD's monograph). I started the POF construction at the end of...

I started this work in 2008 and was left abandoned for a few years. In 2022, with great hesitation, I took out this box in which I had stored the manufactured parts. Here is the progress of my work today, which is far from finished.

Доброго времени суток. Наконец то пришел мой корпус от Дмитрия Шевелева. Ждать пришлось долго, но отчасти виноват я сам. Изначально предполагал только корпус с разметкой обшивки, в итоге, вышло что вышло). В квартире подобного я бы строить не рискнул. Очень мусорный процесс, да и инструмента не...

Hello My dear friends Today I am happy to announce that I'm opening my new construction project : POF L'Amarante Corvette de 12 canons 1744 1:36 (Ancre Monograph by Gérard Delacroix) with this beautiful I will enter an important and challenging phase, building a full scratch model. First, I...

Hello everyone, I have posted finished projects before, but have never completed a build log. This will be my first. Plans from Ancre. So far I have worked on the bulkheads and frame. Used Poplar for internal structure. Deck is going to be in Maple. Unsure what I will use for the hull...

Bonjour grand début pour moi , l’aventure commence doucement

Hola a tod@s. Espero que os guste mi primer intento de arsenal. Las siguientes fotos serán cuando lije. Como todo, las cosas no las intentas porque son difíciles: son difíciles porque no las intentas. ( CLAUDIO ANNEO S.) Hi everyone. I hope you like my first attempt at arsenal. The next photos...

Finally getting started on the Le Rochefort. I've cut the keel, stem and stern. My primary wood is cherry.

I'm opening this topic dedicated to the Frégate de 24 l'Egyptienne, designed by François Caro and built in Toulon in 1799. The documentation (based on the English and French archives) was established by Gerard Delacroix in a monograph published by Ancre in 2019. This exceptional...

Hey Let me introduce myself, I'm Splinter and I started modeling 2 years‘s ago. I silently follow various artists regarding this form of model building. I am someone who keeps reports concise because knowledge is very limited, besides I am not a professional photographer In the meantime I had...

Hello! We have been talking privately with Zoly since the summer. In the end, taking his advice (as I am a beginner in this category) I decided to build a simple boat. This was Le Rochefort. I first ordered Ardian's book, then a monograph, along with the plans. You can imagine that I was happy...

hello, You can count me in, I will be part of it but since I like small scale, (finished model take less space) so mine will be at 1/45, finished hull will only be 40.5 cm, plan have been ordered.

Waiting for book ,and plans, reading "Planking Techniques for model ship builders" by Donald Dressel, wondering if there is a local wood supplier in Ontario.

This will be my first scratch build since elementary school.. hopefully some needed skills are still obtained... I have ordered "An Introduction to planked on frame scale model ship" book and Le Rochefort 1787 plan set from Ancre. The shipment will be made on Dec 12, 2022 with ETA between 15 to...

Thanks to all those who are participating as well as well as those facilitating or just lurking. Most folks won’t go with 1/24th scale, but I need the larger size to work around some personal limirations. As usual the first challenge is determining the quantity and type of wood to order. I’m...

Ordered “The Package” (monographie and Sorolla’s book) from A.N.C.R.E today. The clock is ticking… wonder if I’ll get them in time for Santa to put under the tree…

I am the worst model builder going, so I don’t know if I will build. I will watch and learn! I have ordered the book from ANCRE. Can’t wait to see it. Tim Murphy

More to come
