Beautiful work Xan and I love the presentation of the Bébé, in particular.
Welcome to the forum. The recent influx of French modellers has certainly brought an extra dimension to things, as well as excellent builds.
I'm a British person living near Limoges, but I know first hand just how magnificent your part of the Basque country is.
Best wishes

I like the base the Nieuportis on. I can feel myself reaching for the wellies just looking at it.
