Remember you have to improve on the last one... this one should have working 1/350 nanobot sailors roaming the decks and functioning AA guns that fire miniature flak to stand a chance of outdoing your other Richelieu.

The advantage of wisdom is that you can play dumb; conversely, it is more difficult.

Sur l'autoroute demain pour aller au travail qui est "dr�le" ... jam sur la route et les gens qui se surestiment et pensent qu'ils sont champion du Rallye, ou faire vous-m�me � 14 flocons de neige dans le pantalon.
Un beau dimanche

Hello gents
yesssss!, Christian I survived to Parisian drivers!;-)
The first "modifications", are for the roof of the castle, for version as of 40-41, all this are "shaved" on the top

Below, the two "passageways" are open


the below, after adding detail

On the deck, two positioning studs are glued

Initially, I had to represent the closed hangar, and leave the bridge like that

But, after a discussed with a friend, I decided to open the hangar, which leads to his realization in full!!
The hangar

The new cuts on the deck, and the addition of a "floor"

The same, assembled

and finally, with the roof of the castle


For the moment, nothing is really finished, apply the putty, sanding, add details on bulkheads ....... still a lot of work ahead, and many difficulties for you ,for "decrypt" my threads
cheers

Hello all
I just finished the "mating" of the aviation hangar roof at the castle, a good " fun party " to align everything! but hey this is set


under the bridge, at the cutting of passage of the hangar,of the spacers are installed

two platforms for 37mm Double ,are installed on the front of the castle

a view of the pieces temporarily mounted


to detect of eventual defaults,a coat of primer is applied


this is all for now
cheers

Beautiful Nicolas!
If I can accomplish half of what you do in 1/350 on my 1/200 Bismarck I'd feel like I was "the Man"!

Re: 1/350 RICHELIEU Dakar 1940-41
Hello all
this time around, I have "attacked " the barbette and the ventilation block ,This time, I redid the ventilation block from the outset, therefore, with the good number of openings,5 on the starboard side, and 7 on the front face

and nothing on the port side, and not as the trumpy piece , which be false!

all placed in its location

for the moment, all pieces redid, are "raw",without the details, they will be added later, after their making
best regards
Nicolas
