Hello!
We have been talking privately with Zoly since the summer. In the end, taking his advice (as I am a beginner in this category) I decided to build a simple boat. This was Le Rochefort. I first ordered Ardian's book, then a monograph, along with the plans. You can imagine that I was happy that this group build started here on the forum, and at the same time I am watching the channel Modelismo Naval para Todos on you tube. Unfortunately, I am at a disadvantage compared to the average modeler in several respects.
For example, I don't speak English or German, so I use google translate. Sorry if sometimes it doesn't translate what I want to write.
Second: I live in Hungary, which makes it very difficult to purchase modeling materials...... Not to mention the horrible postage.... (e.g. postage from Germany is €38, USA is $90) - For me, that's a lot.
Therefore, as a compromise, I started to build the boat from pine. As we know, this is not really suitable for making certain elements of the ship. Some pictures of the construction, since then I have made a little more progress.
