Is this anything to do with Jacques Cousteau. ? If so, he would be proud to have it on his desk. 👍 🙂

Kerry, the Le Suroit has no direct link to Jacque Cousteau. However, Jacque Cousteau's research vessel 'Calypso' is in my stash waiting to be built. Ocean Exploration Vessel (Revell 05101, 1:125)

Something out of the usual blend of topics - and really nicely made too! Really nice clean build, looks great in the vitrine, well made.

Oh, that is so cool. Not many civilian ships built here, good to see your nice build. 👍

Nice display piece. 🙂 The photos ought to be color corrected though, to show the hull being white. I suspect the photos have an orange tint to them. In artificial lighting, I guess the reddish base plate might give the white hull a slight reddish tint. Presumably looking different with sunlight.
Example using GIMP free 2d editor: ibb.co/F7hMh41
