1/350 RICHELIEU Dakar 1940-41

[LE BOSCO]

thank a lot James I hope so too
Rob I hope we are wrong
I take advantage having a little less badly,to put the last pics of progress , before the blocking of my back
I redid the wheelhouse in the right proportions ( too small in the kit)





the top of "castle" is also finished ,by installing watertight doors, good positioning and shape of the portholes, and of the piping







the first pi�ces in resin for this version , are outputs (thanks uncle jack )
in first ,the "waterproof wardrobes" for 100mm ammunition



then,common to both versions,the generic piece of Wind baffles



I'm happy because it's very simple to implement,you only have to sanded the top ,of cutting it to the desired length,sticking, "and voila"
it is easier to put, that the pieces in PE flyhawks!!
I hope to get back behind my worktop this week,for to put all that in place
cheers
Nicolas

Very nice!; You really should consider a casting workshop! This is something I really cannot do properly!

[LE BOSCO]

no misunderstandings EJFoeth all the last pieces are not molded by me but by "Uncle Jack" a friend to whom I owe much
I will prepares that the masters,and of finding the balance between accuracy and feasibility which is not so simple
but, as soon as I have the financial means,I buy a vacuum pump worthy of the name

HI

thanks roger

as promised ,the pics I began by the navigation bridge. on all the pictures , the original parts, just to ....



the vents are hollow as in reality



Then turn it is of the intermediate Gateway



and finally the "majority" gateway is a bit more complicated



2:00 in all and for all to put the whole, and especially no-brainer !! just pay attention to the angle cuts, but nothing comparable to those damned parts flyhawks
views of the progress of the castle





I am not disgruntled with the result and it really starts to look like Richelieu
cheers

Hi hall

not of great progress these latter times this back pain, remembers to me a little too often
just the realization of a master, a 13-meter rowboat with a tarpaulin





it is not much, but it's still a small stone add to the edifice
cheers
Nicolas

[Rob 2]

Great skill in evidence Nicolas and while carrying an injury.

That's suffering for your art.
Rob.

[LE BOSCO]

thank a lot Rob
sacrificed to the altar of our common passion I stop the jokes ,I'm just dumb to force me to put me behind the work plan but if I do not have my daily dose of plastic...... I'm addicted,more grievous that back pain??
