    This project as well as the following ship (I think about a French frigate or maybe an east indiaman) are the first step to constructing my own cardstock kits for commercial sale. Will they be bought ???? Well then, my frigate is waiting, you will read more soon. Greetings, Askold

    A New Frigate From The 1760´s Is Born

    Hello, recently I started a new project: A frigate from Chapman´s Architectura Navalis, built by plan and scaled 1/250. All made by my own. Maybe you´d like to post some critics or ideas, I´d be thankful... To me, this ship is a prototype model to get involved in the material etc, to then...
