EMILE BERTIN

The hull is made with a plank of polar wood

When I get the horizontal shape I pin point the place of fittings using the plan printed on transparent paper. So the position will be accurate

This time I made the superstructures with plasticard instead of wood planks

I dry tested the superstructure and the platform around thz after funnel.

The planking on the bridge is perforated custom photo etch

Hi, scratchbuilding at this 1/500 scale and making its own PE deserves full respect indeed !
Cheers from Normandy : where are you located ?

Effectivement, n�anmoins cela sonnait un peu Japonais !
Bravo encore pour le scratch au 1/500� : je n'ai pour ma part ni les doigts ni les yeux dimensionn�s pour �a !
C'est vrai que �a prend moins de place que les cuirass�s au 1/72�...

The torpedo tubes were made with "albion alloy micro tube"
I used custom photoetch for the boat crane

Nice looking design and sharp build so far. Good luck on the detailing

I vacuum formed the boats and 2 are glued in place,

Great work on a beautiful subject. Emile Bertin deserves more attention - one of the elegant French designs of the 30's....Le Fantasque's....Mogador.....Dunkerque....Richelieu.....La Galissoniere.....
