Wow, its inspiring!
The photo etch work is amazing, especially how clean the railing is, and how you manage to bend them exactly to place.

thank you gents for your feedback!braxat I quote you "how you manage to bend them exactly to place". the nerves of replacement are planned for this ?? more seriously,the secret ,is to take time for the installation

Hello
The continuation of the works on my Richelieu, at first, on my mast, I deleted the structure has the back of the mast (arrows black)

To add of supports with navigation lights (arrows red only for after1952)



I had left the wheelhouse has this stage


Loan has to make the windows with black decals!!! But on second thought, I redid everything with the plastic card



I find the result much better,I take advantage of to make a temporary assembly of everything the subsets which composes the front part of the castle



I also resumed "the organization" of the vertical walls (watertight doors, scuttles, metallic cupboards.......) which is made in a fanciful way by trumpy





I have also worked on the two blocks are which are represented by trumpy with rectangular shapes and with details which are false. I redid the oblique walls, and I added the new details, according to the plan of Robert Dumas



Other details are added on the fire chimney and has his base


The mobile trolleys for the motor boats are folded



The supports of whale boats are assembled, and se reinforcement�s gussets are added (in white)



In place



The heads of the charge masts are detailed with my resins parts, and ladders and handrails are added in PE



Bases and winches of cranes, the command desks, and are installed in a symmetric way


An overview

HI gents
Mabmanu,you is very prolific,great job

for starters, I indicated that there was a handrail on the top of load mast



what is wrong! it's just a elevated ladder ,What of profiles, gives the impression to see a handrail!
The good configuration



I always prepare my PE before, after having formed, bended, and assembled ,I pose my PE by sector on the strip of stcotch 3M.
They will be installed everything has the end









I also have finishes the turrets of 152,by the installation of the guns barrels, and of shutters on the roof of turrets



the turrets in "their natural element"





Veiled, that's it for now
best regards
Nicolas

I've been looking at your magnificent work for some time now and is simply breath taking !!
