SOME OF DIDIER PERROT'S MODEL BOATS...

Didier, for his first construction, embarked on the realization of the Belle Poule at the scale 1/50. Obviously, it is a model which will remain static affirms Didier.
     He discovered the complexity of building this type of boat.
     His comment: “It’s crazy how long it takes to make the final structural part. Whether it is the skylights, boxes or other structures such as the various cabins, it is necessary to assemble by successive collages various and innumerable elements to arrive at the final part ”.

Some elements of the kit being slightly veiled, this explains the particularity of the worksite.
