New kit of La Renommee from CAFmodel 1/48 scale.

Thanks for the update @ADC and @Maarten,
1) I can open 4h-page, but if I click on a topic it is not allowed/no access -> could it be, that only members can open them?
2) to the ebay offer: Strange for me is the actual pricing for the different sessions with 1 to 4 for 1.350 US$ which seems to me only the hull structure and 1 to 6 inclusive the carvings (but seems no masts, yards and rigging) for 1.700 US$
I still do not think, that the photos are showing models built from the kit - I guess they are all scratch builts

Looking forward
Hi Uwe,

I also get the stop sign when I enter the site via the main menu, but I get acces to it via the secondary menu directly to the different manufactorers at the site. Once in I can visit most pages without being registered.
I acces it via my mobile phone, getting their mobile site.

Hope it helps.

One of my friend is registered in the forum and he has no access ,everything else visible but not the forum,do you see the forum Maarten?
 
It would be great if someone could cut and paste the latest CAF models from the Chinese forum, and post it here .
This is their shop on Taobao. Goes by the name of Caofeng2000. If link doesn’t work then type in the shop name on Taobao search. A translator app gives some sense to what is going on but not user friendly in English.

Hello Marten, could you do please a step by step screenshot tutorial please how did you get to the forum, of course after google translates the screen, thanks
Hi Zoly,

Today I tried it again and first I got the stop sign for the forum part, but by just moving around on their site at a certain moment you have access. Also by using the link of YiFan I now have acces to the forum.
 
Yes, I got back a couple of days ago. I could not find any modeling shops in Hangzhou. Its a big city with over 10,000,000 people and ran out of time. I bought some really nice small boxwood carvings. Boxwood carving is a specialty of the HangZhou area. There are many master carvers there and some carvings are unbelievable in quality and expensive. And it is great to see another La Salamandre build log here.View attachment 53414

Looks brilliant so far! I'd give body parts for a kit like that :) I wonder if that carving will give birth to little ship's boats ?
Question-MarkI was also wondering when I saw this photos of the figurehead - and checked it with the ancre drawings from Jean Boudriot and models built, contemporary and new one based on the Boudriot drawings
The lady is not pregnant Exclamation-Mark
In front of her is a sphere located and she holds this "ball" with her left hand laying on top

Attached photos of the beautiful model from Reno (which is also shown on the ancre page https://ancre.fr/en/monograph/20-monographie-de-la-renommee-fregate-de-8-1744.html showing the figurehead

monographie-de-la-renommee-fregate-de-8-1744.jpg monographie-de-la-renommee-fregate-de-8-1744 (2).jpg

and the excerpt of the drawing

screenCapture_2140754828_2064730669_0.jpg

means there will be still some work on the the figurehead to do by the modeler o_O
