Hi Nicolas,

good to see you back. I was unfortunately by my own very long "off" after a car accident, but I re-start again soon too with a new project.

Good to see that you are working further on your Richelieu now. :wave_1:

thanks gentlemen for your kind words :thumbs_up_1: christian I hope that you have health et and i am happy of see soon here your new work :thumbs_up_1:
for continue the work ,I start by the two pulleys (12 parts) present under the charge masts .

Image

the chains with hook are made by Jean .the same parts ready to be painted .the red arrow indicates the "compas magnetique �talon" (I do not know the name in English)

Image

I also prepare oars for painting (white ensign and Jean Mahieux)

Image

I received my wire EZ line, So I took care of pulleys and cranes cables

I took advantage of the characteristic of EZ wire (elasticity) to carry out the cabling on my workshop .I took the dimension between the place where the pulleys are attached to the castle and the tip of charging mast((55mm )so I cut the wire EZ at 40 mm .

Image

the wire longest will go to the winch drum. and same mounting stretched at 55mm

Image

the same installed

Image

before placing the second crane ,I glued the "compas magn�tique �talon "

Image

and install from photographs, empty cradles, crates, tarpaulins, oil barrels and wooden planks

Image

Contrary to what I thought, this area, seemed to be empty the day of the catapult testing
see you soon for the next progress
cheers
Nicolas
