Mellow
The Marie Jeanne was one of the last wooden fishing boats. This model was a gift from a hobby shop owner. Therefore I intend to repair it. I am in search for plans and info of this built. I collected many pictures, but all come short of detail.

The built is incomplete and missing parts. The model had fell from the shelve and broke the main mast. The ancor chain lies all over the deck and the rigging need to be tied down.

To repair her, I can buy the complete Kit, but its a waiste of money as I will only use a few deck parts and rigging. As a Novice builder I want you to assist me in re-constructing this old lady (scale 1:50) to her formal glory. She is a wooden ship with brass accesories.

Thanks
Marcel

Thank you SANCE for this info. I appreciate it dearly. The plans give me a good insight on how to repair this beautiful boat.

I apologise for my late reply.
