Maxthebuilder Posted July 2 Share #1 Posted July 2 here we go, I decided to make my first model in Admiralty and I collected the plans from the internet site, spend times to study and thanks to this forum I figured it out how to try to build my first model. I choose " la Licorne" because I like the French -British frigates. and she got a bit history: 1755 she was a French frigate then captured by British in 1778 soon more pics shall be attached to check the progress. I'm ready to listen and to read all suggestions and criticism on it. I hope all professionals here can be little patient with an amateur as I am. ccoyle, GrandpaPhil, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmj Posted July 4 Share #2 Posted July 4 Hello Max, welcome aboard. You will find a wealth of information on this forum. Feel free to ask away. Are you sure that you truly want to pursue a model, such as this, for your first model? That will definitely prove to be a 'very bold endeavor'! Best of luck to you! mtaylor and Maxthebuilder 2 Quote "The journey of a thousand miles is only the beginning of a thousand journeys!"

Maxthebuilder Posted July 5 Author Share #3 Posted July 5 Hi Tmj, thanks for your encouragement, I'm fully aware that this could be a really challenge and bold endeavour, and if I fail ,( and I will for sure ) I'll remake it and remake it again. and I'm sure from this forum and from esteemed modellers as all of you are, I can get great support and suggestion. cheers CiscoH and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtaylor Posted July 7 Share #4 Posted July 7 Welcome to MSW, Max. I'm looking forward to your build. If you don't have it, I recommend getting a copy of Hahn's book "Ships of the American Revolution" (going from memory on this title). She's an interesting ship, IMO. I built one but for "reasons" never finished it but I still have the plans and hope I live long enough to finish the projects currently underway and then do another Licorne and this time, finish it.

Thanks Mtaylor, I've already went through your topic and to me is enlightening, I've take inspiration on it. I hope you'll find the way to finish Cheers mtaylor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
