Docker Posted February 28, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 28, 2022 I am very happy to be on this wonderful site. I am French, passionate about the sea. Now retired, I can devote a lot of time to the practice of model making and I derive great joy from it. A magnificent monograph attracts me, it is Jean Boudriot's l'Ambitieux - 1680. I'm going to start building and I'll see where it takes me! When I would have advanced enough in the construction, I would open a log. See you soon ! 😀 JeffT, bruce d, Tom E and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have been very fortunate to visit many times and find that we love all parts of your country especially Nice, the Loire, Provence, Paris and Normandy to name a few.
