Hello everyone
My name is Martin. I am 67 years old and I come from Croatia, a small town on the border with Hungary. So the Pannonian sailor
I have been building models since childhood.
Behind me is a large number of built models, especially of more authentic Adriatic ships. Bracera, Trabakul, School boats Vila Velebita and Jadran. The Austro-Hungarian Navy is my obsession, these horses were created according to Prasky's designs Viribus Unitis,
participated in the restoration and preparation of the blueprints of the famous Adriatic Komi falkuša. I also built that ship based on that blueprint. I am currently looking for photos and parts of the blueprints of the famous ship Admiral Tegetthoff, which was used for the expedition to the northern half of Austria-Hungary.It was a three-masted schooner of 220 tons, 38.34 m long, with a 100 hp (75 kW) steam engine.
I read that several models of this ship were made with more or less success because the original documentation in the war museum in Vienna is unavailable. If anyone has anything, I'm interested. Regards
 
Welcome to SoS, Martin! I hope we’ll get to see some photos of your work. Your collection sounds very interesting.
