Wow, its inspiring!
The photo etch work is amazing, especially how clean the railing is, and how you manage to bend them exactly to place.

Hello
The continuation of the works on my Richelieu, at first, on my mast, I deleted the structure has the back of the mast (arrows black)
Image
To add of supports with navigation lights (arrows red only for after1952)
Image
Image

I had left the wheelhouse has this stage
Image

Loan has to make the windows with black decals!!! But on second thought, I redid everything with the plastic card
Image
Image
Image
I find the result much better,I take advantage of to make a temporary assembly of everything the subsets which composes the front part of the castle
Image
Image

I also resumed "the organization" of the vertical walls (watertight doors, scuttles, metallic cupboards.......) which is made in a fanciful way by trumpy
Image
Image
Image


I have also worked on the two blocks are which are represented by trumpy with rectangular shapes and with details which are false. I redid the oblique walls, and I added the new details, according to the plan of Robert Dumas
Image
Image

Other details are added on the fire chimney and has his base
Image

The mobile trolleys for the motor boats are folded
Image


The supports of whale boats are assembled, and se reinforcement�s gussets are added (in white)
Image
Image

In place
Image


The heads of the charge masts are detailed with my resins parts, and ladders and handrails are added in PE
Image
Image

Bases and winches of cranes, the command desks, and are installed in a symmetric way
Image

An overview
Image
best regards
Nicolas

Currently I'm in my period 1/72.
Moto France 1940
I also realized my first figurines .

http://minitracks.forumpersos.com/t7982 ... ch-1-72eme
http://minitracks.forumpersos.com/t7977 ... 40-1-72eme

I had some master projects of vehicles 1/72 for the years "2010 2011 2012" which is almost complete.
I soon returned to my small boats .

HI gents
Mabmanu,you is very prolific,great job :thumbs_up_1:

for starters, I indicated that there was a handrail on the top of load mast

Image

what is wrong! it's just a elevated ladder ,What of profiles, gives the impression to see a handrail!
The good configuration

Image

I always prepare my PE before, after having formed, bended, and assembled ,I pose my PE by sector on the strip of stcotch 3M.
They will be installed everything has the end

Image

Image

Image

Image

I also have finishes the turrets of 152,by the installation of the guns barrels, and of shutters on the roof of turrets

Image

the turrets in "their natural element"

Image

Image

Veiled, that's it for now
best regards
