Scratch Building the "France" in 1/700.

Post by Avery Boyer »

Well, with the hull of the Queen Mary almost finished, I figured it was about time to take a break ( :heh: ). Recently, in the main forum, a set of plans was posted for the Courbet class of french dreadnought. I was instantly won over (Who could not love that long, low profile woith the three small funnels and heavy pole mast?) So I decided on doing the "France" in 1/700.

I have the plans and am on my way to getting supplies, so I'll be posting again soon.

edit: I'm curious, if I were to cast the pieces and release it as a resin kit, how many would be interested in buying? If there's enough interest, say five or so secure orders, I might release.

I believe that technically I'm not supposed to be discussing this (For Modelwarship sponsors, right?), so I'll update on my site if there's interest.

Does anybody have any additional information/photos for the Corbet class?

I've studied the plans and have realized that this project is going to take more work than I originally thought.
