Dear all,
Having just finished my last build (see https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/...nsa-1-500-waterline-model-from-scratch.17699/), I moved directly into the next one. This one needs no introduction, as I will build the famous NORMANDIE in 1:500.
It is not exactly from scratch this time, because I stumbled across some plans on the internet, which basically include all info on hull shape, decks etc. which I would otherwise have constructed myself. I attach it here, hoping it is ok.
I started off by building the hull using frames, waterline and profile provided in the plan. So this will be different compared to my previous models, in which I layered the decks to shape the hull.
