AlainB Posted July 6, 2023 #1 Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Hello all, I am a 67-year-old French modeler, passionate about everything related to the sea. I have been modeling since I was a teenager (with some cuts). I have been studying Ed Tosti's superb books on the frigate Naiad for some time. I will start building it this month. It's a kind of challenge, and that's what motivates me. See you soon, Al Edited July 6, 2023 by AlainB ccoyle, JacquesCousteau, druxey and 2 others 5
