Wow! That is some delicate work. I like it.

From a rigging enthusiast....

well done that is always tricky-- the sagging cables-- wire--or compressed stretched sprue?

more rigging info please!!!




Regards

Jim Baumann

Beautiful job on the rigging! That is an area that I still need to work on, and your job here is most impressive!

Superb looking rigging Nicolas,
can you please describe in a little more detail for us novices how you proceed with your rigging.
Regards
Richard

HI Gents ,

Richard ,I regained some strength
Jim,for my riggings I'm use the stretched sprue,with your method,but without your talent (seen what you made ??at 700em )
Richard
I have not photographed the steps, but Jim explains better than anyone ,in the tips and trick
a picture of the HI-TECH equipment necessary for the rigging



otherwise, this morning, and after almost 2 years, I was finally able definitely assembled the castle to the hull .......,my Richelieu is finished to 99%















I hope that you are not disappointed by the result.to finish completely,I still have 1% of work to do on the Richelieu
So , I tell you the next time
best regards
nicolas

Truly an epic build and a show-stopping result!

Hi Nicolas,
Your Richelieu is truly a stunning beauty and is fit to be on display in the finest museum!!!!!!!

I don�t know if it would float, but a photo of her on the water would be hard to tell if it were a model or the real thing. Your 99% complete looks like a 110% winner in my book!!!!!!!

Superb build!

That is a wonderful build.

Tres bon,
c'est magnifique.
Regards
Richard

A stunning and epic build! Absolutly great job Nicolas.

that's devastating.

I think that it's impossible to find on earth another rendition of the Richelieu with the same quality, both in research and in building.
You have a strong devotion to this ship and your work is clearly a proof of it.

chapeaux!

thank you all ,for to the welcome that you given to my richelieu finished at 99%
I harness myself to finish the remaining 1%
best regards
Nicolas

I wish all a merry Christmas,and the Santa Claus gives you full of kits or other
cheers
Nicolas

Beautiful!!! Really wonderful work my friend. every single aspect of this thing looks perfect, the fit, the paint,the pe work and the rigging all compliment each other for a stunning finish.

thank you gentlemen's
for to get back in "the bath" after the flu , I attacked the last 1%
in first ,the laders "de coup�e " in french (in english??) and two staircases for acces of the bulwark of 90mm



then come the anchors, the three on the right, are those of the bow (thank you Seb!)
and the left and the Strait, so smaller



and finally, the four positions air surveillance,on this matter,and it was necessary to interpret portions of photos, unfortunately with some shadows areas,Here the result



I think not be far from the truth: D and as it was long, a view of a piece of" air surveillance" with 1cts



I still have to make a flag for the stern ...... for the end of the installation ,I will remind you, will end up by the installation of the propellers .........!
Cheers
Nicolas
