French war-ship Fleuron 1729 - scale 1/72 - from Delacroix monograph
Hello Christian,
Your Le Fleuron is looking great and your Saint Philippe looks beautiful.

Your build is coming along nicely. What sort of references are you using for your 64-gun? I've been looking for a schematic of a French 74-gun for some research of my own. I'm trying to figure out where the Surgeon's Cockpit would be located on a Diadème-class ship of the line (Le Zodiaque) circa 1758. Any chance your research materials include that gem of knowledge, s'il vous plaît?
Hello,
Thanks for your message
Out of plans of Delacroix, I have any other document for my rather simplified built
Sorry,
Christian
