Hello all

news of richelieu that is not quite finished ......indeed, there were to make the propellers ,it's done!! the result



this has been long to make ,if you're interested, a link to the production process

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x33 ... f47a7e.jpg

is a long process

more seriously,the propellers with a coat of bright white paint



I am going use Alclad metallic tint (polished brass) the result



Normally, this is a black coat that must be applied, but ,I prefer the result with the white coat (less "glitz")

a reminder, the helices which was provided by tumpy



For the four lines which are on the hull ,I wait the decals of the tonnage measurement line,a friend is gonna the draws and print(thank you Bruno:-))
see you soon for the final photos
cheers

Hello all

For fans of Richelieu, the Publishings �LELA PRESSE � http://www.avions-bateaux.com/produit/lela-presse/1981 , have published a quarterly journal her name is �Naval Monographies � and the N�1 is on the richelieu



The iconographic content, is rich, supported by of the 3D view, which is superb
and finally the text is bilingual (French English)
I recommend it
cheers
Nicolas

HI folks

I'll reveal a little secret on my Richelieu ...... on each of my models ,I allow myself a little joke.. and the Richelieu was no exception to this rule
In fact the character of Wally, has become a stowaway,"the dangerous" character in real



to help you, the place where he is



therefore,Where's Wally

Cheers
Nicolas

hi Nicolas

Wally painted very skill
you used a microscope?
I can't see him anywhere, perhaps, under the canvas of a whaling


cheers

You're amazing Nicolas!!!!!!! I love it my friend!!!!!!!

Roger DD-473/DD-555

Always enjoy catching up on your progress. Finest craftsmanship.

Hi Nicolas,

because L'Arsendal makes a set now for the Richelieu, it becomes really interesting for me to make this pretty battleship too and to dig out my kit slowly.
Only with this I have a little chance to get is a little bit closer to your awesome building and scratch orgy

thanks a lot guys your words make me happy
Christian ,if I understand,you want to start a Richelieu?If you want I still have some pieces in resins for you
send me a PM with your adress
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

you did an outstanding job with your detailing. my deepest respect. Your Richelieu is simply breathtaking.
I really love your attitude with your labels on the pics and the figure on he modell. Some sense of humor is far to often missing in modelling.

cheers Peter
