French PrecisionMare Island Diorama at 1/700th!!The pictures here are well worth the time it takes to view them. I did take the time to run the web page through a French to English translator and not all of the photos are here, but I have captured most of the text.
"For almost a year, Jean, a designer and cartoonist outstanding and I carry a diorama at 1/700th of the famous port of Mare island, located in the San Francisco Bay. We chose to represent him in his state of 1943-44, originally to accommodate our many models of U.S. vessels. But the result will show that the port has become a gigantic model alone." (EDITOR'S NOTE)--You may have noticed computer-based translators are not really smart enough to get the grammar correct but I believe it is understandable.

We have shared this daunting task: Jean designs parts and creates films that used to make the photodécoupe.I support the design, then I realize the photodécoupes. We assemble a diorama everyone on our side. I realize also part molded resin. (EDITOR'S NOTE)--photodécoupe is a term I am unfamiliar with and I will be researching it in further detail. For now, I believe it is some type of Photo Etching
