[LE BOSCO]

Hello gentlemen's

thanks Partis
my last funny games!!in first ,three strips of plastic card



then thirty four portions, rounded on one side (black arrow)



all for what,for that alone



is the master of "pare-embruns " in french (I do not know the word in English)
the piece in profile



The black arrow shows the place or puts themselves the piece on the floor of the bridge



to finish, a little comparison with Trumpy parts





it remains for me to make resin castings of this master
In the meantime, I'll work on speedboats of 9 meter for officers and has rowboats oars of 11m
cheers
Nicolas

Hi le bosco,Why not choose PE?

[Jean-Paul Binot]

I thought that these were wind baffles. If they are, then they should be open on the top, to let the wind blow over the bridge, and therefore cannot be duplicated in resin.

Beautiful work as always my friend!

[LE BOSCO]

Hi le bosco,Why not choose PE?

hello

Sirmaumau ,I use a minimum of PE, and the PE flyhawk is wrong and too difficult to use ,in my opinion

Jean Paul
These are well of wind baffles,simply put a "film de reservation" (sorry for the word in french) on top of the outputs
and molded by the front
the "film " is then removed by sanding, thus opening out the outputs
I would put a picture of the master, ready for the molding
thanks lot sgtryan13,I appreciate your encouragement
see you soon
cheers
Nicolas

hello folks
thank's mate for your kind words
pending the wind baffles, for the 1952 version , I needed to make a diesel engine boats



And for the 1941 version, I need to make rowing boats, the master before molding





I received my first portholes rounds and squares, portholes at exact dimensions drawn by my friend big bear (Bruno)



remains to be engraved the other 300 remaining!!!!
otherwise, the castle are two bathtub manufactured and placed on the two "balconies"



the "ceiling" of the gateways is equipped of its stiffeners (Otherwise, the pipe has put)



a view of the two together



and with the two "columns"


what to expect in the coming days, the stacking of the gateways that constituted the castle



there is work
cheers

You make it all look so "easy". Lovely work, as usual.

[LE BOSCO]

Hello all

thanks lot friends
small news of my WIP. it advances very slowly, as the area of ??the castle in its original configuration is not covered by the blueprints very worthy of the name!I must interpret the pictures available to me, and it takes time.
the last time ,I had stayed here



I returned to work ,by reducing the slots of vision of blockhouse ,by sticking small pieces of plastic card 0.30



on top of the navigation platform, I recovered from the original parts, the positioning lines



it'll allow me to do subsets. the work continuous " by climbing" in the floors



I retook the part forming the "first" floor, in removing all the details (fake!)
then I redid the floor of the intermediate gateway (still recovering the positioning lines)



Then comes the turn of the gateway majority (passerelle de majorit� in French)



then comes ,the surface standby platform and the Platform No. 7 , the back of the latter, was reduced, and the yardarms were removed



to finish, the floor of the air surveillance Platform is redone, the shape is different with respect to the post version 43



the result



the "outlines" are here and he'll have to detailed it all .....
has more for new advanced
Cheers
Nicolas
