Hello gentlemen's

thanks Partis :thumbs_up_1:
my last funny games!!in first ,three strips of plastic card

Image

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

Image

all for what,for that alone :smallsmile:

Image

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

Image

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

Image

to finish, a little comparison with Trumpy parts

Image

Image

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

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.

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 :thumbs_up_1:
see you soon
cheers
Nicolas

Image

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

Hello all

thanks lot friends :thumbs_up_1:
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

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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)

Image

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

Image

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

Image

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

Image

the result

Image

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