Thanks! Same, i have often looked at the HMS Agamemnon from Hobby Boss, which is also something like a pre-dreadnought battleship, but i have such a huge stash and every time i buy something i regret it after it arrives because my storage room gets smaller and smaller :)

Excellent model and nice modelling skills Keep it up👍👍👍

Very fine crafted work ! Compliments !

There is a great documentary about this class of ship on KZread "When French Hotels go to war" The design process is truely unique

@@funinscale2892 - Yes, I love his videos. I just got the Condorcet's sister ship, the Danton. It's a very nice kit. An interesting thing about these ships...instead of having the usual teak wood deck planking they seem to have had a brown linoleum deck covering, similar to that on WWII Japanese cruisers and destroyers. I guess there will be no aftermarket wooden decks for this class, unless some aftermarket company completely gets it wrong!

Just recently came across your channel and am so happy that I have....there's not too many that focus on ship builds so was impressed with this one....great job and perfect timing as I am just starting the Danton....thanks for the tips/techniques. Will be watching the others and keeping an eye out for future notifications.

Very nice of you, thank you! Hope there are some things you found interesting, the Danton is probably quite similar to the Condorcet, i guess? So no surprises! What i could recommend for this ship is, the lower hull is shown in green and red in the painting instructions, but the green colour is really a rare thing to being able to do, so i'd go with it again!

Super! When you want to get into PE parts, i would suggest trying a small Hobby Boss kit, they include some minor photoetch (PE, the metal ones) parts, where you can try, but you also need super glue for the metal parts. Greetings to Italy!

Heard something interesting about these ships, they had better armour placement and more of it then the HMS Dreadnaught. In theory, it would have been one hell of a brawl between the two. These French ships were pretty tough. I hope Hobby Boss and Trumpeter does more battleships of this era, like the Baden, Lorraine, Leonardo DaVinci, Queen Elizabeth class, Arizona... all WW1 of course.

True, the french ships are mostly sold under their value, in my opinion, always overlooked. Italian ships are very rare as well, as models (i don't consider the Pola from Hobby Boss because it is not very good...), but they would make interesting models indeed! Luckily, trumpeter did the Queen elizabeth class with Warspite and QE herself in 1/350, and those are magnificent models. Hope i will get one for a decent price some time

I find pva better for photo etch gives more time to accurately locate parts. dries clear. superglue dries cloudy.

Hi there great job just wanted to know which grey green wash was used ?

Cool model! Trumpeter also has a model of the dreadnought Agamemnon. Don't plan to build it?

Thank you! i do like to build the Agamemnon, but my stash is just overflowing of cool kits, so it would not be in the near future, im afraid. But there are several other ships i have planned

Nice model, but I would suggest you do research before starting a model; especially on the paining of deck furniture. Also, even ships of this early period had considerable wire rigging for radio aerials and the like. For this scale, black cotton would be effective.

What brand & number is the Nato Green you use?

hobby boss by any other name would still smell as sweet as a trumpeter.

I'm sure it is not ugly, there are always easy methods to make a model shine. And this ship in particular is quite challenging to build because of all the different paints and complicated superstructure. Just take your time and don't let yourself get frustrated and im sure your model will look much better than mine

This is a semi Dreadnought not a pre Dreadnought

The frogs made the ugliest battleships of first world war....
