napoleonicfrigates

Having completed my sloop the little ship Bianca I waited a few days before starting on my next a model of the Artois Class frigate Diana, which I have decided to name Clare Marie and make as a present for my wife.

Anyway my intentions are different for this model. Having gained hopefully plenty of experience with my previous model I plan on undertaking this with a little more care and attention hopefully coming up with a better model because of this.

The guide therefore will be a little more concerned with technique and less with just getting it done.
