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!!!

Brought another model a HMS Victory this is for display only on a shelf above my television, She was built by a good friend of mine who told me it took him quite a long time to build it, I can believe him as it is a beautiful model.
