Hello Everybody,
  I've started to build modelboats for 12 years.I 've shown my models 8 times at weymouth model boat show ,2 times at beale park and only one in Swansea.English is not my mother tung, I hope you should be able to understand my topics. I've made 2 ferries : Bretagne and Barfleur at 1/100 scale.Each one can be remote controlled with few functions.I ve got a French frigate at same scale:Prairial.My model boats are scratch build and I get plan from the shipyard compagnies.Now, I'm making a French lifeboat "Les 3 grunes" on the Cotentin peninsula, not so far from home.
Best regards

Welcome Midori,
I do think I have seen your models at Weymouth and they looked superb.

Bienvenue!!!!!!!!

Welcome Midori - I do like the two ferries (my passion obviously!!!)...congratulations on capturing them so well. I have seen the full size Barfleur regularly in Poole harbour - very impresive in such confined waters...

And as Neil says - would love to see the build of the French lifeboat.. :-)) :-))

Hope to see you regularly here - we are friendly honestly  O0 O0 O0
