I am not leaving the business, but abandoning the two projects, because the referances I have used, every single one of them have been wrong. Now I have searched the internett for hours and found only those that I have used. So by pressing on, I only add inaccuraties. And I have used the official b...
There was infact plans for a follow-up in the Algèrie, the Saint Louis class of 2-3 ships: http://www.secondeguerre.net/images/articles/navires/fr/pr/st_louis.gif Now the interesting things are the three triple turrets (which I have on the De Grasse) and the Richelieu like mack amidships. Hello the...
Hello again I changed some aspects (especially deleted the rangefinders, they were relics from my AU which I forgot to remove), new versions as following: http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y531/Garlicdesign/fullhull/CALeonGambetta-1.png http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y531/Garlicdesign/fullhul...
Hello there OK, obviously there are sources and sources. Some of mine seem to represent minority opinions (especially that the Suffren has a LPP of 125,5 m and not a LOA). I also seem to have overlooked that searchlights were sometimes hull-mounted back then, which led to a certain overkill. And mos...
Hello The Aventuriers were fitted with american machinery for which the US refused to deliver spare parts in the first years of the war, so the French replaced them with home-built engines left over from an abandoned battleship project. They ended up with only 2/3 of their designed hp and were 10 (i...

I do not know the exact colour but I suppose it to be homogenious. Well... You have drawn searchlights in Iena as well - it's a mistake. She had 6 searchlig...
Hello Dima11 I used plans from a site of the french MoD and scaled them, maybe I misinterpreted the thing upon Iena's bridge as a searchlight (if it's not, then what is it??) By the way, have you access to a site where I can find similarly accurate plans of Carnot and Charles Martel? Greetings Garli...
Hello again Last additions in time for the upload, I'm afraid. http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y531/Garlicdesign/fullhull/BBJaureguiberry.png Before you ask: Jauréguiberry looked like this all right (gun barrel right to the stem, and not because of the stem's weird shape!). I don't know if the w...
Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, for 'sister ships', the Carnot, Charles Martel, Jauréguiberry and Masséna look about as silmilar as... four completely dissimilar things, actually, so the drawing of the Jauréguiberry (that one has already well progressed on my drawing board, maybe she will be ready befo...
