Hello Kuba,

I read your log this morning. I really know what you mean, if you Write about the inaccuracies of handmade drawings. That was for me mans years ago the starting point, to learn how I can create such a drawing.
I will follow your Journey wirth great interest.

Thank you for your kind words, Christian.
I don't typically consider this project a perfect copy of a wonderful model from a monograph, but i can completely switch modeling between kits, more difficult admiralty models, to monographie, simply by learning it, as you mentioned. ANCRE offers a lot of possibilities, i recommend everyone give it a try. It's not much more difficult than kits sets, but much more enjoyable.
Perhaps here will be an update soon, La Belle requires no effort, but time.

Regards, Kuba.
 
I am enjoying this build and the intelligent discussion it has brought to the community. Thank you Kuba and to everyone involved in this discussion.
