Gracias Jesus, espero que en pronto puedas conocer a L'Unité en vivo.Fantastic work!!! Congratulations!!!
Thanks, BillWow! Very nice work.
Hallo @Luiz B. F. GrassiL'Unité - Designed by Pierre-Alexander Forfait and built in Le Havre ( Normandy ) in 1794.
Originally classified as a Corvette, with a 218 crew complement , it was armed with 32 - 8 pounder french gun, later rearmed with more powerful guns, and classified as Frigate.
It was a highly successful project, recognized for its excellent navigability and speed.
Captured by the English frigate HMS Inconstant ( 1796 ), she was renamed HMS Surprise in the Royal Navy, and sold in 1802.
I started my model, from the L'Unité original plans provided by the National Maritime Museum / Greenwich , some parts of the Artesania Latina kit / H.M.S. Surprise, a lot of research in the Musée National de la Marine ( Paris ) , and Jean Boudriot's book collection.

Gracias Jésus, abzsMuchas felicidades!!!
Absolutely, Dale. The 1/48 scale, for me, is the best to work with. It allows you to shows a large number of details and still results in a final model size that is possible to keep at home, ( If your wife allows it ! ! ! ).Fantastic detailing! You have to appreciate 1:48 scale.
