Much better , ask for a "galette" ( buckwheat pancake ) with some "andouille de Guéméné" ( local tripes sausage ) ... :big_grin:

what you absolutely have to eat is an "Araignée de mer" , just like a king crab , just lesser in size , really top food , as anywhere in France by the way :thumbs_up_1: ..

I spent three months at Brest in 2001 , being Propulsion Officer back then , on board a E-71 Belgian frigate , those three months were a wonderful discovery of Brittany , I had my motorcycle there , easier to travel .

regards ,

Laurent

@ Mr.Baumann:
For food in Brittany just ask for "une crèpe beurre-sucre et du cidre please"
Are you going to Douarnenez (nice old ships there)

Have a nice trip,
Kenavo ! (bye in Brittany)

Hi
I made a mistake in my previous message. Please cancel the "no" and read : Thanks a lot for yours messages.
Laurent , you're absolutely right for portholes. I will modify them. For the funnel , if you have photos...
Kind regards
Sebastien

salut Sébastien ,

j'ai été deux ans et demi "patmach" sur le M924 "Primula" , c'est pourquoi je me permets d'émettre des doutes quand à la présence des hublots sur la coque à tribord sur la "Croix du Sud" ...

les trois seuls tripartites français à avoir des hublots sur la coque sont les ex "Dianthus" , "Iris" et "Fuschia" , actuellement "Capricorne" , "Céphée" & "Verseau"

Dans la cheminée , on trouve trois sorties pour les turbines à gaz "Astazou" entrainant les alternateurs 250 Kw , une sortie pour le Diesel de propulsion principal et une sortie pour le diesel-alternateur DAF . Difficilement réalisable au 1/350ème , je m'en rends compte .

Pour l'anecdote , les marins français se battent pour naviguer sur les tripartites ex-belges , ceux-si sont infiniment plus confortables ... :heh:

Très beau boulot quand même ! :thumbs_up_1:

For the english speaking guys here , a little translation :

I've been for two years & a half , chief engineer on the M924 "Primula" , a belgian tripartite , this is why I have some doubts about the portholes on the "la Croix du Sud's" hull

the only french tripartites having portholes on their hulls are the ex-belgians CMT's , "Dianthus" , "Iris" & "Fuschia" , wearing now the names "Capricorne" , "Céphée" & "Verseau"

Inside the funnel , there are three outlets for the "Astazou" gasturbines driving the 25O Kw alternators , one bigger outlet for the main propulsion engine and a little outlet for the DAF auxiliary generator ( 160 Kw ) . Not so easy to represent at scale 1/350 , I know ...

a little aside : the french sailors are "fighting" to get aboard the ex belgian CMT , the accomodations are a lot more comfy than on the french ones ... :heh:

a nice piece of modelling , though :thumbs_up_1:

Regards ,

Laurent

Bonsoir Sebastien :wave_1:
Au début, en regardant les photos de ton modèle, je me suis dit: "Ouais, trés bon, mais le détail pouvait etre plus soigné"... parce-que j'avais pas bien lu l'intitulé et je pensais qu'il s'agissait d'un modèle en grande echelle!
Je suis toujours trop étourdi :big_grin:
S'agissant d'un tout pétit navire, c'est excellent. Je pourrais juste te conseiller d'envisager des techniques de peinture pour faire ressortir un peu plus le détail.
En tout cas, chapeau!!
