Hi Mabmanu,

that's correct! Here is the rest of the Marine National so far: Hoche (as built), Magenta, Amiral Duperré.

Next to be made is Amiral Baudin. These are resin castings of scratchbuilds I made in 1/6000 scale.

I very much like Your scratchbuilding skills. And again, after checking it some more: what a cool and exotic subject. All the best!

[quote="Christian Reber"]What a great subject!

The funny thing about it is that I finished painting mine just minutes before I checked the message board...

All the best!

What are the two objects hanging from davits at the very stern? They look like automobile tires but it seems to be the wrong place for a "fender" and in 1885 the automobile tire has not yet been invented?
