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.

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
Nicolas

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
Nicolas

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"!

Thank you mates for your kind comments!it motivates me
Channell,me, I'd like to have your mastery of the 3D

Daniel I'll try to make my engines running on my Loire 130,or at least I'll try, "impossible n'est pas Fran�ais" it's very pretentious

cheers

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
