Massena & Henri IV are superb

Oops, my bad (depth perception). Personally, I create even spaced stanchions when I can, but i don't have any budget (well, sorta) and must make every cm of PE count.

Jim, interesting to hear of your care to get corner posts on your railings. I too try to do that- so imagine my surprise when in reseaching my KM Scharnhorst I run across some pics of her sistership that clearly show a railing where the rails form a corner, and THEN a foor or so away comes a post. Odd.

You must have gone ballistic when you saw the announcements of the french armoured cruisers by Combrig... I know I did!

Hi all;
Great Job Jim!!!; these ships are incredibly well done!!!.
I´m currently building the IHP´s Guille and Lyon BC/BB. These subjects are great!!!; but my scratchbuilding abilities are very limited!.
I´ve scratch the command tower from Guille, and boat davit structure of Lyon.
Hope you like!.
A french modeler told me on the "other forum", that it will be released a 1/700 with brass barrels and PE parts...; he didn´t tell anything about the company, but seems IHP will NOT (Mike Bartel declined she!). :mad_1:

Truly a pitty!
Best regards
Juan B.R.

The kit`s price is not on the website; I`ll send an email inquiry. Probably 8000 Yen ($70.00USD).

JIM BAUMANN · **Posted:** Thu Aug 30, 2007 6:57 am

Too late Gary--seen it..!

I am still working away on Massena--it is at last starting to look how I want her to look!

I have soooooo many projects on the go--... and so many more kits to build....

The Yumemato kits are in the $75-$80 range at pacificfront.com.

I guess this one would be the same...

I have the Jaureguiberry in the stash and I really feel like starting. I especially like the full hull option: it is quite uncommon for resin kits. I just have to find a way to reshape the upper hull, which is quite twisted at the bow.

My Massena hasn`t been touched for months! Carnot is still in the bag. But I`ll order this one probably next week if I can slip the "appropriations bill" past the finance minister..or is it Chancellor of the Exchequer!

No! It`s 財務省。 :please:

The manufacturer has informed me the kit`s price is 5000 Yen (about $43.00USD)

Bill over at Pacific Front announced today that we should shortly be seeing Jeanne d'Arc (the 6 funneled armored cruiser) from Combrig in 1/700 within the very near future.

Can you post more pictures?　That model would be an excellent reference for detail. :jump_1:

Hi GA ,

I'll go myself within a few weeks to Brussels , to take some pictures of "d'Entrecasteaux"

This model is very well made but is not really highly detailled ...
