For a french frigate I suggest "La Vénus" (1782), a well documented ship.

Hello this is a very interesting Kit and I would like to have your opinion as till yesterday I have got her in my basket for purchase -
due to the fact I do own the nice AotS book and
do love the two colourfull paintings
by Joseph Marshall of ROYAL OAK - giving a beautifull contemporary Impression of the Point of View of an Artist to an colourfull admirality model...
So I am still in tremptation and you could be my "Advocatus Diaboli" ;-)
So what are your impressions and ideas after this time?

Beautiful job? Rigging my first paper/card model now, Shipyard's 1/72 HMS Alert. I do think I will follow your lead on the second paper/card model! The planking is awesome.
