Is it based on the drawings made by Gérard Delacroix?

I will follow with big interest and also very interested in the semi kit from SZKUTNIK ....
 
Ahoy!

@Uwek and OTHERS

The small explanation.

The design of the 3D Dredger Machine has over 10 years old and based on the drawings made by Gérard Delacroix.
I used this material to learn Rhinoceros software.

Some time ago, DON (donfar) request me to perform for him several elements: the skeleton of the dredger, the skeleton of the boat and two wheels.

DON WROTE ......... BASED ON ANCRE PLANS AND MONOGRAPH ORDERED BY ME FOR SPECIFIC PARTS THAT I CAN NOT DO, TO AGE AND PHYSICAL CONDITION, ALL CNC, IN PEAR WOOD WITH JIG..............................................................

I wrote the codes and cut it on a CNC milling machine for Don. THIS IS DON MODEL. I just a little helped him. That's all.

Material: solid Pear Wood (NOT PLYWOOD). Elements cut with a CNC milling machine (NOT LASER) without burning the edges. Perfect solution for POF models. It is enough to lightly sand the place of fastenings and the edges of the frames.
