Maybe.... I need to have a look in my shipbuiulders1935 publication...

otherwise that kind of question is best asked on the ( numerous (!) facebook pages for Normandie.

the most likely source might be

https://www.facebook.com/French-Line-CG ... 561281088/
( but that does look veeeery slow ofr a FB page ...)

Hey Jim, do you have the dimensions of the different types of portholes and scuttles of the Normandie in 1:1 scale.

Hello all;

Happy Easter!

Every year we hang Easter eggs on a tree outside as well as on a spring twig indoors

Every year we has a small family competition;= blown-out Easter egg shell painting...

Last Year I painted this one.... :cool_1:
the circular nature of an egg does not lend itself well to painting a long liner...

It hangs proudly ! ( kinda topical!! :big_grin: :thumbs_up_1: :cool_2: )

It's kind of privilege to see you work Jim. thanks for sharing this! Can't wait for (hopefully) a lot more pics. The sense of scale is mesmerizing and Im very glad you picked a liner to build. Truly captures the feel of an era, towering over the waves.

Wow ...... Amazing. Fantastic build Jim.

I can hardly believe it is to 1:700! I'm going to have to read through this thread again very, very carefully.

Cant wait to see more liners from you.

Nonono, now it is time for Bretagne! :big_grin: :big_grin: :big_grin:


Maybe like this, with Napoleon III at the entrance and a couple of royal barges alongside? ;)

You know Jim. I have mixed feelings about this. I am glad your wonderfull masterpiece is finally finished in all it's glory. But at the same time I feel sad, because there will be no more updates for me to be awed and wondered with your art, skill and ingenuity.

If you indeed plan on building NRP Sagres III

Here are a few interesting sources of details:

I was planning on taking pictures of details during our "Sea Week" but Covid ruined it. Ruined the Voyage around the World too. :sorry:

So this is the best I can do. :huh:

I have to reluctantly admit that personally I have little interest in liners :sorry:

But what a wonderful model!
The sheer excellence in modelmaking, and your detailed explanations, have made this one of the most interesting threads ever. It was a pleasure to follow this incredible journey, and the results are both unique and jaw-droppin. I hope to be able to admire it in person one day!

My very best wishes and congratulations to the completion of this epic and unique build, Jim!

This is your most impressive project I´ve followed so far - it breathes the spirit and dedication of doing every single item and issue just right and accepting nothing less.

Allow yourself a period-typical cocktail or two to celebrate says

Hello Jim

Well, what to say... other than you pushed the envelope again with another gem in your collection - and what a beauty of a vessel it is!
The first photo.... we have to love a ship with those lines!

Congrats!
Cheers
