crabbersnipe Posted October 3, 2016 Share #301 Posted October 3, 2016 Hi Albert Only superlatives can do this model justice, and what a beauty she is - truly outstanding piece of work which I can only dream of aspiring myself one day. Question on the drawings, could you tell me whose hand these are by ? I seem to detect a signature saying 'Tosti' in some of the photographs, where are these plan obtainable ? Thanks & mille grazie Eric Canute, mtaylor and albert 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share #302 Posted October 3, 2016 Thanks Eric, the wonderful books that contain the designs to build the Naiad model are the very talented Ed Tosti and you can buy them from www.seawatchbooks.com.

crabbersnipe Posted October 4, 2016 Share #305 Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks for this, will have a look - the drawings are tempting and am having fun looking at the various builds here on the forum - still a lot to learn but it is beginning to itch to have a go at one of these myself one day.....

wyz Posted October 9, 2016 Share #310 Posted October 9, 2016 What superlative would you like me to use today? I think I've gone through the whole list ..... several times. Really nice is a gross understatement. Albert, you don't list much info on your profile. I realize that is your option, and I respect that, but I think a lot of folks following your incredible build would like to know more about you. Would you consider opening up to the group to tell us your story. Thanks.
