Le Gros Venture by Gerard Delacroix.

[Bryian]

Hi gang,
got this in my library and it will be my next build. Its a scratch build in 1/32 scale full plank on frame construction.
I need to finish off my current builds first.

cheers Brian.

Will watch with great enthusiasm once you will start your build.

A very interesting ship you decided to start after your actual built -
because the Gros Ventre is not a pure warship, but a transport ship (called in french "Gabare") , so less gun-rigging works necessary
I think the Gros Ventre was in addition an expedition ship.....



Maybe you saw it in my photo report from Rochefort..... I made some photos of the model built by Pierre Blanc
