Michael

Why Michi? Do you want to give her "Swiss Mountain Navy flag" on stern?

Only a joke ... as preciously told, an impressing job here and always an inspiration how to make things in general + what I have to do one day with my Richelieu after I have enough experince with other ships to start then Richelieu.

[LE BOSCO]

Hello gentlemen�s

Thank you both for your comments
Michael, for the visit in Switzerland, with the one, it�s not possible, but with version 1940, why not, it would be with pleasure
I was really sad to not to be able go to Telford and see "the band"

It�s good, all anchor equipment are made, but then what a hassle!!! To start a small reminder ,one of significant characteristic of our plastics profiles, namely that we can make the stretched by heating, while retaining their initial shape (round, square, round tube square, etc. etc.) for my part I need to reduce round rectangular tubes and U-profile




Once reduced, the portions are cut, but only with the aid of a razor blade, the blade of the cutter or others are too big and crush the profiles reduced.I apologize to most experienced of you for the explanation, but I try to think of my comrades beginners
A view of the pieces needed to make an anchor equipment unit




All parts made, that I'll need




To give you an idea the size, the support for the painting is of 4cm x 2cm

A view of the temporary mounting (nothing is glued or painted)



I hope not to have been bored with these little details
cheers
Nicolas

The "little details" are what makes this build so incredible! It's never boring to be in awe.

Signed!

... and it shows again a detail on which I never thought about and what is for sure in this or that version to find on most ships.

Brilliant work on the anchors and Blake's stoppers,
I struggle with WEM's anchors and Blake's stoppers and they are one piece beauties.
You are taking this on to a new level that few mortal's can follow.

Hello gents
thanks for your kind comments
the decks are finished to 95% remains the DCA to ask, but it will be the end!
I could not resist making a temporary mounting, just to give me heartened to finish
So to start bow



the "castle"



the stern



"aerial views"






and one for an overview of the entire



this is for the aggressive side of richelieu






and the last two





I must admit that I am motivated by recent advances
