Very nice! Where did you have the photoetch done and what did it cost!?

Sorry I dont like to discuss actual costs. I hope you understand. it was pretty expensive but thats because I chose to do it on three seperate frets instead of one big one. Each fret has a tooling cost and the more frets the more the price increases. It was done at PPD in Scotland

Looks very nice and indeed this tumblehome on the French Pre-Dreadnoughts is something special.
The deck, which matches the data and plans I have exactly., has revealed some issues with the shape of the handmade hull. I need to do some reshaping yet

At this small scale, if it has to be pre-fabricated, I would go for a decal or some styrene sheet that has the deck printed on.
Sorry but I do not agree. in my hands rather than in a photo, in front of me, to me it looks fine and the lines between the planks are very fine. Once primed, then cast in resin, then primed again then painted they will be fine in my opinion
