Hi that is what is worrying me the weight I might have to consider constructing the top half from balsa wood, I'm currently writing a letter to Brittany to see if I can get some better pictures etc from them.

Hello my next plan is to get some pictures of NORMANDIE and then adjust pictures or draw to scale I will then make paper templates to see if the scale and size is OK on the hull I might even ask Brittany Ferrys for some basic plans and pictures of her to help me out.

Hi yes I can update you all on this build at moment I'm trying to get pictures of NORMANDIE at various angles then I have to try and scale the pictures to the scale of the hull sadly due to lockdown Brittany is still opening up or some are still closed, I live only two miles away from the main office so that Is handy.

Brought this scratch built ship unfinished and sadly no plans etc, it does look like a ferry type of ship so I am planning to modify her to be like Brittany Ferrys NORMANDIE, if I do it will be quite some size I think!!!

Hello all, the American gunship hasn't moved at all as been busy getting an unfinished project that is scratch built, no plans etc just this hull and partially built top, it looks like a ferry so going to alter it slightly to the hull and make it into a Brittany ferry NORMANDIE model it is six foot long and well built.any suggestions
