Mic_Nao Posted February 24, 2023 #1 Posted February 24, 2023 I'm opening this topic dedicated to the Frégate de 24 l'Egyptienne, designed by François Caro and built in Toulon in 1799. The documentation (based on the English and French archives) was established by Gerard Delacroix in a monograph published by Ancre in 2019. This exceptional monograph includes a history, then very many 3D sketches that run through the entire ship. Many photos also of two models of the Egyptian exhibited at the Musée de la Marine in Paris, then 39 plates complete the work. I chose to build my model ( poirier, buis,ébène érable ) at 1/48 which will make a model of almost one meter thirty. 24 frigates were called "heavy frigates". I post some photos of the beginning of construction: No Idea, tlevine, mtaylor and 22 others 25 Quote Le meilleur apéritif n'est pas forcément le plus cher, c'est celui qu'on partage !

uss frolick Posted September 3, 2023 #17 Posted September 3, 2023 Was the frigate named after Cleopatra, the most famous of Egyptian women, or the Mediterranean trade wind of the same name? Here's proper music to play while you construct her: "L'Eyptienne", by Debussy – Rameau ... mtaylor, druxey, Mic_Nao and 2 others 5 Quote
