    This is going to be a fantastic kit. Will it be available in the USA or only for the European market, at first? Will the price be comparable to the other CAF models kits? Thanks Yves

    Excellent choice of model and building the motored version will be a refreshing change from the many sailed implementations on this forum. For the figures, you have plenty of choices with the world of 1/35th figures, which is pretty much limitless. Sometimes, having the figures a tiny bit smaller than the scale of the boat helps, as figures tend in general to be slightly oversized. I, like many others, am looking forward to seeing your diorama.

    Kevin, Your yawl looks gorgeous. The blue is surprising on such boat, but so beautiful on your model. Dorade is definitely one of my favorite boats and it has such pedigree. Yves

    Very nice hull. I like the shape of it. Yves

    These baskets are superb. Now, you must build some herrings..... 😉 Yves

    Very cool piece that you built: Le hangar des hydravions. Yves

    It is such a detailed model that your idea to present it partially disassembled, is excellent. Yves

    Beautiful work on the mast anchor. Yves

    Yes, what a monster. I guess, the intent was to send "candies" all the way to Britain. Yves

    I meant to say that they used metal parts in the original kit (instead of plastic parts) as a way to charge more money. I am glad that they are replacing the defective parts for free. This is good service. Yves
  11. yvesvidal
    Maybe as a way to charge more for the parts.... Yves

    Superb model. There is a lot of beauty in these small crafts, and your model is a masterpiece. Yves
  13. yvesvidal
    Superb parts. How much were these, if it is not indiscreet to ask? Yves
  14. yvesvidal
    Superb models. Definitely a Professional Production, at this level. Yves
  15. yvesvidal
    You got some very nice pictures and that kit, in your hands, is going to be another masterpiece. Yves
  16. yvesvidal
    Very nice results. This kit is almost impossible to paint, since everything is molded in one part. You did a great job. Yves
  17. yvesvidal
    I do. However, I have too many things going on right now, to dedicate any time to this kit. I have to finish my submarine first.... Yves

    Speechless.... 😲 I agree with both of you: this is a one time build in your lifetime. Yves

    Fantastic diorama KPNuts. You are aiming for a first prize at the next show and you will get it. Yves

    Grant, excellent description on the wheels assembly. Thank you for summarizing and extracting the quintessential wisdom of Paul's guide. It is indeed a strong departure from the Pocher instructions, and I can still feel the pain of assembling one wheel (I stopped after that). I will definitely use your technique (and Paul's guide) when I return to this kit. Your model looks stupendous. You can be proud of you, and this steering wheel is only asking to be handled. Yves

    Superb work Kevin and so realistic. Yes, Perseverance is what you need in this hobby.... and you obviously have plenty. Very interesting videos, too. I also like the non-common boats that you are building, as it provides us with a breath of fresh air from the period ships. Yves
  23. yvesvidal
    Excellent choice. I will be watching as well. Yves

    James, being a good moderator will start a new Build Log in the corresponding https://modelshipworld.com/forum/130-build-logs-for-ship-model-kits-by-era-launch-date/ section. I will be following as I followed the concept and creation of that kit by Chris Watton. James on the other hand, will be totally unreachable and will feel at times, as if he has joined some monks order...somewhere in medieval Europe. My condolences to his family and close friends.... 🙂 Building that beast will be epic, to say the least. Yves

    Finally, a French battleship in this impressive collection. Well done. Yves
