Hello.
Bonjour .

Excuse me for my bad English.
Excuser moi pour mon mauvais Anglais .

I sometimes use the translator google ... :big_grin:
J'utilise aussi quelques fois le traducteur google ... :big_grin:

For guns I used copper wire and Evergrenn.
Pour les canons j'ai utilis� du fil de cuivre ( fer ) et de la plasticarte Evergrenn.



With a coat of paint, it should be ok for the guns ...
Avec une couche de peinture cela devrait �tre ok pour les canons ...
What do you think ?

Good work!

I notice you have some of the ventilators between the guns.

Try making them like this:

>>The distinctively French tapered inverted cone ventilators were all turned from resin tubular stock using a bench clamped Motorized mini drill and a handheld Stanley blade as a cutting tool, I made dozens of differing sizes until I had sufficient stock from which to choose identical pairs.

La conique typiquement fran�ais ventilateurs c�ne renvers� �taient tous tourn�s � partir de r�sine stock tubulaires utilisant un banc serr� motoris� mini perceuse et un ordinateur de poche lame Stanley comme un outil de coupe, j'ai fait des dizaines de diff�rentes tailles jusqu'� ce que j'avais � partir de laquelle un stock suffisant de choisir les paires identiques.

Image

When finished they look pretty sharp-- nicer than the cast version I saw in the photo
Lorsque vous avez fini ils semblent tr�s forte - de plus beau que la version exprim�s j'ai vu dans la photo

We have a lot of snow here-no work -so I will carry on with Carnot!

au revoir

Excuse me for my bad English .

Thank you Jim for your imformation .
Merci Jim pour vos conseils .

But I'm not your dexterity.

It is almost my first kit at 1/700�me in 1 / 2 scratch .
C'est pour ainsi dire mon premier kit en 1/2 scratch au 1/700 .

My passion for the French battleships is very old, but the discovery kits 1/700 is new.
Ma passion pour les cuirass�s Fran�ais est tr�s ancienne , mais la d�couverte des kits au 1/700 est tout nouveau .

But I'll try .
Mais je vais essayer .

I do it usually .

In addition to my profession "fishmonger" . ( google traduction !!! )

Hello Jim .

Evaporator standard battleship Neptune .

�vaporateur standard sur cuirass� Neptune.

This is 'nt the same model as your French battleship .
Ce n'est pas le m�me mod�le que pour votre cuirass� Fran�ais .

But I redo my evaporators because they were not in the right place and the wrong number and not beautiful .
Mais je refais quand m�me mes �vaporateurs , car ils n'�taient pas � la bonne place ,pas du bon nombre et vraiment pas beau.

Tres bien!

As you see... building a Yumematu kit is not kit-building....

its is 70% scratchbuilding.... :(

Carnot is the same..--she will have all new turrets as well....

Your tarpaulings look very nice!

similar idea to what I did on Admiral Nahkimov...

http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/sh ... ildup.html

open barbettes with canvas roof

---------

Comme vous le voyez ... la construction d'un kit Yumematu ne sont pas vendues en kit b�timent ....

ses est de 70% .... scratchbuilding : (

Carnot est la m�me ..-- elle aura toutes les tourelles nouvelles ainsi ....

Votre b�ches en toile vont tr�s bien!

similaires id�e de ce que j'ai fait sur l'amiral Nahkimov ...

http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/sh ... ildup.html

barbettes ouverte avec toit en toile

Good work!

The disadvantage of the modern digital camera is that it is able to completly ruin your beautiful paint work on a model like this.
The naked eye might not see the imperfections which your camera shows at pretty good quility......
Very nice work!!!
