Re: richelieu at 1/350 completed
Lovely job there Nicolas.
Been out of the loop, so missed this great finish to a very enjoyable build.
The scratch building was amazing and the finish is as expected from all the work you have put in on this ship.
Once again, fantastic work
Cheers Capt P.

Re: richelieu at 1/350 completed
I bought the Tamiya Mighty Mo with a lot of p.e extra from W.E and Alliance modelworks. 5inch turrets with blast bags and brass barrels for both 5 and 16's. Have the conversion kit round bridge from classic warships also. After witnessing your outstanding build,I don't think I could do a well enough job on this model. Bravo Zulu Le Bosco!
