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

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�...

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.....
