Hello gentlemen's

the front and rear masts have been installed







then it is the turn of the antennas. i'm use of infiniti model lycra riggings that I prepare apart.



the insulators are streched pipe



the insulators are not aligned (smalls grey parts) they will be glued to the varnish

tne antennas with shape hoops insulators ,are also prepared separately



the others riggings are instaled, the result

Hey Nicolas!

I am not sure if you are getting tired of the compliments, but in the off-chance you are not: Very impressive work, as always!
Is there light at the end of the tunnel?!

Hi guy's

it is difficult for me to be able to work on this project at the moment...small drop in morale...at greater involvement in another project (pin-up photos in studio)
I'm not giving up on the project ..... I just have the sailors left, who I hope should arrive in early 2021(i cross fingers) Even my shooting was stopped by confinement2020 will be a year without
I hope to put the progress here quickly

hello jim
thank you for your message That's exactly it !!! big lack of motivation since the traffic restrictions and the various curfews the arrival of the crew still has no scheduled date .... ..... but it is on standby and not completely abandoned.
I admire your work on the Normandie and your patience I'm in no hurry and I can't start another project while one is in progress ... I hope to finish in the next few months
