JpR62 Posted May 2, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) A little additional information. This summer, the Ancre editions will publish a new monograph written by Hubert Mallet on 'La Victoire', a barge from Lake Geneva. The talented French model maker used the book and plans produced by Gérard Cormaz to write this new monograph. The new plans of 'La Victoire' will contain the entire structure of the framework and will thus make it possible to produce a POF type model. Indeed, Hubert Mallet produced a magnificent 3D modeling work to restore the entire frame and thus publish the timbering plans. Knowing the policy of Editions Ancre, an English translation of this new monograph should follow. I will report on this future monograph as soon as it is available.
