PFJN Hi, That's a super looking build.
Hi,

Excellent build! Impressive!
Very clean build.
Marcus McBean ChrisSC, Great finish, the France looks wonderful. Marcus

Thanks guys. It just needs a coat of flat clear to cover any glossy glue and I'm gonna call it done. I don't feel like putting anymore time in this one, it was harder than I thought it would be.
warshipguy Excellent work! Bill
Excellent work!
Ditto!
Looking great. PE railings sure make a great large ship.
Don Stauffer in Minnesota
After I had glued down a couple of railings I realized I should have been using 5 bar instead of 3 bar on the bow and stern, oh well lol!
Marcus McBean ChrisSc, Have you tried heating up the railings to take out the memory? Marcus

Marcus McBean ChrisSC, France looks like she has a lot of straight lines so the railings shouldn't be as bad to install as say a pre-drenought with all those gun to work around. Marcus

It doesn't look that bad in this photo but when dealing with such a small scale a tiny wave turns into a 50 foot long bent railing!!
Marcus McBean ChrisSC, Your build is looking great, very clean and it is building up nicely. The France is one fine looking ship. Marcus

Today I added the davits, some stairways, and painted the funnels on my 1/600 France. More stairways to do and I'm still putting off the railings lol.
Getting bogged down in details on my 1/600 France. Built the mast, a bunch of stairs, and added more decals. The PE is the most time consuming part of the build, especially the upcoming railings.
warshipguy Chris, At 1/600, I like the deck color. I am simply amazed at how good your ships look! You are really bringing out just the right levels of detail in this scale, and your painting is emaculate. I can easily imagine your collection on display in a travel agent's office. Bill

Tanker-Builder Yeah; Okay I digress. I just was thinking like the pool in the Argentina/Brazil Kit.

Tanker-Builder I see; The thing is, the cover for the pool was real thin aluminum frames painted white on the outside. In real life they were quite thin. Then Clear glazing ( Plexi? ) in between them all.

GMorrison What a beautiful ship and model! Yes, mooring bitts would do nicely. There'a also a pair of booms on the swimming pool deck, but you probably know that. Bill
