Finally coming together... And it looks fantastic Nicolas!
Good to have the small sailing boat fill the front right corner, as it balances the composition well.

Cheers,

Marijn

Yes, amazing model and diorama! I really like the weathering. It looks just like the photographs of the time.

Obviously?you have misplaced the forward mast and afterward mast, Bosco! Thats why i felt weird when i first saw the presentation.

[LE BOSCO]

.......you have misplaced the forward mast and afterward mast .......Thats why i felt weird .......

do not feel you too weird sirmaumau !!!! this is just a small mistake caused by the excitement to seeing temporarily assembled my Richelieu
I became aware me after the photo session but ,nothing was glued .Now ,on my small storage boxes,are written on the lid :rear mast and front mast

Hello gentelmen

modest progress, but progress nevertheless

first, the catapults are fully completed by the addition of handling arm (davits) for the catapulting trolleys ,the arm and d�tails drawn by Jean Mahieux (Man from Atlantis )
the unused catapult, with the arm fully up



and the other ,with the Loire 130,whose arm is horizontal



remains to paint and weathered the all
the seaplanes crane is completely completed.she is represented slumped to three quarts





I based on a photo to represent the soft cables at the end of the crane arm
see you soon for the next progress

It's very nice to have a glimpse of what the whole composition will look like.
It will doubtless be a wonderful dio!
I often do dry-fitting of pre-assembled and painted components myselt - sometimes you need motivation when preparing tiny details gets tedious and there seems to be no tangible progress at all.

[ModelMonkey]

Absolutely magnificent!

[LE BOSCO]

thank's a lot to you both I work on booms and I put in photo once finished
cheers
Nicolas

[LE BOSCO]

HI gentlemen

a minor progress ,but a progress despite everything
I did a master for my booms. the parts in "bulk"



the boom temporarily placed at its location



and the same deployed



and finally the parts prepared for their molding



I return to the painting on my catapults and I put pictures soon as possible
see you soon for the next progress

Hi Nicolas,

Your work in this Richelieu continues incredible, nice catapult and crane you did.

But the other reason I'm posting today is to send you this homage local Coke did for you I found today:



Caption says: Drinking a Coke with Nicolas.

Warm Regards,

Ricardo

HI Ricardo

Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad I drank a coke with you

It is much better to follow your built than to watch "Plus belle la vie" on the French TV! Keep it up!
