    This model is adorable. Not trying to hi-jack your thread, but here are a few pictures of Eric and his daughter Marie on board of Pen-Duick: Marie is doing a 4 years trip around the world on the mythical boat. She has the intensity of her father....to say the least. Yves

    Excellent summary of the benefits of CA adhesives. CA adhesives were primarily created for surgery applications, when sewing and sutures are not practical. Yves

    Michel ce modele est absolument fantastique. Digne du Musee de La Marine. Yves

    I truly enjoy watching these "Hybrid" models come up to life. Yves PS: Hybrid = Plastic/Wood

    Beautiful hull weathering. You can almost smell the old rusty iron, decaying slowly. You truly are an artist. Yves

    Great job. Eric Tabarly would have been proud of you, for folding these sails. Yves

    Yes, I will be following too. As a kid I still remember the excitement when I could buy the Renwall Kit of that incredible submarine, in France. It probably was in the late 60's or very early 70's. I spent quite a few weeks putting it together and the final result was very impressive: it was a big model. I still remember the little spring allowing one of the Ballistic Missile to be shot from a tube..... a gimmick, but very pleasant to a young teenager. That model actually triggered a passion for Submarines that did not leave me until a few years ago. I have collected lots of kits and books and was once a member of the Submarine Committee. Yves

    So funny, you would be from Annecy. I grew up mostly in the Pyrennees but would spend time on the Mediterranean coast (I lived 7 years in Nice) and occasional trips to Brittanny. I went to Annecy a couple of times, to ski in the Alps. Yves

    I am amazed how you work with brass and solder. You truly are an artist. This model is going to weight a significant amount when completed, with all these metal parts. Yves

    This model is coming along really nicely. Congratulations. Yves

    What? Jack? You are thinking about going to Tuscany without even taking a little kit with you? That is very surprising....😉 Yves

    Beautiful model of a fishing boat. I remember seeing some of these boats during my childhood, in France. Yves

    Beautiful work and nice planking Popeye. Yves

    Good question Nils, I was wondering the exact same thing..... Yves

    That is a lot of "Metal" on that "plastic" kit.😉 Yves

    Beautiful progress Jack. Yves

    I am glad that you are painting the hull. Many modelers are proud of their perfect planking and hate to hide it behind a coat of paint, and this is their absolute right. However, your model will be a closer scale reproduction of the real thing. Yves

    It is getting out of this world. What a marvel..... Yves

    I love that green color. Looks so realistic. What color is this? Out of a can or spray gun? Yves

    I like these "monsters".... Yves
  22. yvesvidal
    Absolutely superb. Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    Superb construction and realism. This is the first time I see a model with the lower section of the superstructures painted in black. Fantastic attention to details. Yves
  24. yvesvidal
    That is a really cool detail. Well done. Yves

    Arghh ...this is so beautiful, it is almost a sacrilege to paint these propellers and shafts. Yves
