Greetings to all the members and administrators of this wonderful forum! My name is Gianpiero, I live in a small town in southern Italy and I share with you the passion for the historical reconstruction of warship models, in particular I prefer the period of the '700 and, currently I am working on a French corvette, L 'Amarante, and a frigate, also French, the Venus, the latter in a scale that for me is at the limit of the impossible. I hope, with the help of all of you, to complete these works and improve my knowledge!
Welcome aboard SOS!!! We are glad you found us and hope you will like it here!! Is it possible for you to open the build log for one (or both ) of your wonderful models? What do you think?
Hallo Gianpiero,
sending you a warm welcome here on board of our friendly forum - I am very happy, that you have found us.
I am also a big fan of the La Venus monograph from Jean Boudriot, which is the basis also of your work, I guess......
I have also the planset with the complete framing, so once I plan to build the Venus (or the Egyptienne) in scratch.
For everybody of the members interested here is the link to the Planset Review:

It would be great, if you would show us your very good work in a building log.
As I understand you are working in smaller scales than the "usual" 1:48?

I will soon open two posts related to the construction of both the Amarante and the Venus; I just need some time to sort out the many photos I have.
The scale I used for La Venus is almost a challenge against myself, an attempt to try to see if I was able to overcome my limits: 1:96.
For the Amarante I used a more comfortable 1:30 scale
I started my new project, a little ambitious, on an almost impossible scale: I always admired extremely small models, always convinced that it would have been an impossible job for me. It's a challenge against myself!
I started building this French corvette in April 2013, using Gerard Delacroix's excellent monograph. For its construction I used pear, ebony, Brazilian boxwood and maple wood for the decking. The model is currently still to be finished as I intend to set it up with its complete sailing...
Judging from the fine model you are displaying it does not looks like you need any help
