HI folks

thank you Jim

I Just finished a 96% the assembly of "module" composed the chimney and the roof of the 380 telepointer (so the project advance;)
place Photo












everything is assembled to white, which may cause an aspect "crooked" of some parts
and to compare the same "module" in 52



Otherwise, I have received of Arsenal, my guns 380 mm in brass turned and I have re-molded 2 turrets that will be my master for the version 41



Indeed, the turrets will not be equipped with blast bags,and will look like this



that'll force me to detail the mantlets of each barrel
see you soon for further progress
Nicolas

I envy your level of skill. Wonderful work, very inspiring stuff!!

Superb!!!!





Bob Pink.

Very nice dude!

This really is great stuff. Just to know all off the corrections made is a massive amount of research.

Absolutely beautiful work Nicolas!

Man, LE BOSCO you do great work. Looks really good. After seeing what you and others have done for their builds makes me feel like retiring my X-acto knife. Maybe I should stop trying to be a third rate model builder and work on becoming a first rate bird watcher. Never mind I like building models to much. Enjoy your build, because I am.

Stunning as ever Nicolas.
Rob.

thanks a lot

Today, I attack the "chunk" I work on the basis of "castle",and for match the 41version ,must immediately make cosmetic surgery .I get out the saw





have "recorks" with the plastic card





and we get a good working basis



as you can see in the picture,all molded details are deleted,because it is false
see you soon
Nicolas

Looks like she is coming along beautifully. Cant wait to see what you do next with this section. Im sure it will look great seeing how you do great work. The view is good from my seat.

thanks Plastic Habit,but !apparently the ventilation blocks, was present after the overhaul to the U.S.
I try to be sure at 100% and I modify (again )
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

I admire every step of your lovely model. There is not much taken originaly from the kit

With best regards Peter

Amazing work as always Nicolas... Your work is inspirational to me!

magnifique!

HI folks

thanks for your kind comments
As you have seen, I start work on the castle, with finishes, well; there was something that bothered me. And after reviewing my documentation, I noticed that the "trumpet" was again tripped over the carpet.... In fact the castle is composed of two separate parties, namely on the front a kind of tube which forms the bunker, and the rear, another tube forming the nerve center of ship .these two tubes, in the reality are connected by two bulkheads and that is where "Trumpy" is mistaken


At the blue arrow, the part that I stuck thinking does well: no: and the red part or it must be ....... a small difference that does not see on the 43 version, seen that these areas are hidden by the bathtubs of 40 mm quad
So the result after of the "surgery�

The hatched area, corresponds to the space there was between the two "tubes"
By searching I also found that the two blocks behind the castle was a modernization posed to the U.S. in 43, so I removed


but I made a "plan B" if I ever find a photo that proves me the opposite



another challenge waiting for me, I try to redo the bulwarks ..... the workpiece with the bulwark of origin


and now the same with the base of the new platform



otherwise, small views of the chimney "primed"





it looks better like that, right?

Cheers
Nicolas

wow! yes it does!

Evergreen rules huh?

Cheers,

Rob
