Where are all the YOUNG model builders? We don’t see very many of them at US model shows either.

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'. But someone has to do it.....

Wish it was me!​

When you said: 'The left one is Uwek making a selfie'

You could have said...
........'I'm the handsome one!.
Great models, thanks for posting.
Happyconference
Greg

It is not a kit. There is not any kit of Saint PH. It is made from a new ANCRE mongraph, The plans has been developed by the spanish investigator Mr. Tuset and published by french editor ANCRE. One of two models is made by Tuset

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.....

 

[Uwek]

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

The model of a shovel dredger named La machine à curer les ports built by Pierre Rouanne in scale 1:48









The drawings for this model were made by Gerard Delacroix - I got a copy and will make a planset review in some time - very interesting working boat
