uss frolick Posted September 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2013 Volume One by Ancre is fantastic, but it is expensive. What ship models are photographed in the second volume? I am specifically interested in the frigates and the corvettes. Thank You. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uss frolick Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted September 29, 2013 Wow! The 44-gun L'Egyptienne! Sister frigate to the famed raider La Forte with 30 24-pounders on her main deck. The French Constitution. And La Renomme of 1806 !!!!!!!!! This is HMS Java, of whom no plans survive at the NMM. I Thanks, Wayne! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvm27 Posted September 29, 2013 Share #4 Posted September 29, 2013 If you loved Volume I, you will love Volume II. It is just as beautiful in terms of photography and text.It's interesting to note the differences in building and displaying models between the French and British during this period. uss frolick 1 Quote GregwebsiteAdmiralty Modelsmoderator Echo Cross-section buildAdmiralty Models Cross-section BuildFinished buildPegasus, 1776, cross-sectionCurrent buildSpeedwell, 1752 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
