Lovely looking drawing David. Well up to your high standard. Will you just stick to the battleships or follow Bearn as well?

Looks very nice indeed David! May you allow me just one suggestion? I'd refine a bit the top view of the main gun turrets, there are a bunch of black blobs were it meets the barbette, and the same top view suggest a break wen the the curiving back of the turrest starts from the sides, while the side view suggests a curved transition with no break.

(anyway, is this technically a never-built ship, although at least bearn was completed -as a carrier- :mrgreen: ?)

Absolutely beautiful! Is this the only one in the Normandie series, or will we see a few more? :)
