Another small update after 2 weeks of work on the model.
With a new account with a wider lens I could take a picture of the model at a closer distance))
Supplementing the aft superstructure, cut the grid from one of the cranes as well as pontoon trial done - here I wonder what color they were and that my rope is not too thick.
I started it for the last levels of the front of the superstructure.

Small update.
It's time to finish the front superstructure so I made up, and before gluing (temporarily fixed) supplemented with equipment.
I made some rigging with blocks and waiting for other threads to the test and will execute at the end of running rigging and connecting the two towers.
Already glued to the ship superstructure aft, front chimney and pompom s position.
Here are a few photos:

These small elements is done very slowly, and the effect of work weeks and 3 parts. It's hard to do something you need them, otherwise you can not.Cabinet of signal flags, the idea would perform, no magnifying glass meant that it came in boxes. You can see it on the whole increased fotkach probably not much, but maybe one day I'll show it on the model.I used a fire control position pom-pom s and installed a whole upper part of the superstructure of the ship.Here is a simple two photos:

Time for some photos. Actually I do not know myself for what PoW had other pumps than the rest of the twins, but it comes from the analysis of images. The plot next to the chimney was on the back cover, not rail. Cannon believes was on the front cover and on the whole, although I have a dilemma here because I've seen a version where the front plate was in the middle of the rail mounted bars.As for the plot on the back, it was believed that four barrel, and not, as everywhere in the models eighth So much of my research in reaching the truth. I'm waiting for the barrels to the land, and in the meantime, I'm doing away sights. Down almost done, but on the top as opposed to the antenna was KGV ((Here are some photos:

Thank you
January 1, it will be two years since I started building model.For two years I have learned a lot and I see a lot of mistakes as well as I changed a few things in the model, and I did not do certain things. I hope that learning will pay off in the Richelieu and subsequent models. I thought I can make out more of these two years, but I'm happy with what I did. The model in the real world looks cool, and it's important to be liked, especially for modeler who performs it)))

I was wondering how to insert photos, and how much, but I came to the conclusion that they do not finish the relationship and the new year I go back to work on the model, although due to changes in the life of a little slow in tempo ((.

So I present rangefinders pcs 4:

Further photos rangefinders:

Photo: pom-speak with lufkami believe the GPM front and rear (photo blurred chimney so do not intercede)

Image

And finally, as she looks at the moment. Many items in the box is still not finished, and not fixed, but the state until January 1, probably not change.

Errors and observations describe how I finish model))Greetings to all and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a few model kit from Santa Claus)))
