Michel Bénard Posted December 10, 2019 Share #1 Posted December 10, 2019 Hello friends, I begin today the construction of the Francois, 5th rank vessel of 1693 on the plans of J.C. Lemineur's monograph. This naval vessel of Colbert is superb. I hope to carry out the construction ... Three pictures of today's work.

Gaetan Bordeleau Posted December 10, 2019 Share #2 Posted December 10, 2019 In comparison with a 74 guns of 1780, 100 years later, the representation of 1680 looks like very weak, with also much less parts and surely less strong also.
