Hello! My name is Luis Bernardo and I live in the Azores islands. I’m a former portuguese navy officer (LCDR) and presently an architect. I‘m doing a research on the 32 gun french Nymphe Class frigates, designed by Pierre-Augustin Lamothe. I came about this forum while googling the book “THE HISTORY OF THE FRENCH FRIGATE 1650-1850“ by Jean Boudriot & Hubert Berti. I was wondering if anyone who has it could advise me on how this particular ship class is detailed in the book, in terms of plans and decoration, before I buy it?
I’m also very tempted on acquiring a model or even trying to build one. However, I understand that a frigate should be very challenging for a beginner. My only experience was a french goélette kit “La Toulonnaise”, and that toke me ages to complete. Any advice on that would be grate too! Thanks!

Hello! Yes, I’ve read this amazing review. It seems like the perfect book and I’m very tempted to buy it. I was just curious if the plans of that specific class where featured on the book. Thank you!!
