thank a lot gentlemen for your kind words today no naval work ...but of the railway work indeed there is "some time" I had prepared the locomotive and car for the diorama,but nothing had been completed. now this has been done in the order ,the locomotive then the gondola cars loaded with crates, barrels (red wine for the "cambuse"? ) planks the covered cars and finally some cars are not right, because my background has small undulations;) see you soon for the next step Cheers Nicolas

HI gentlemen for after of holidays well deserved ,the continuous work ,I start by the two pulleys (12 parts) present under the charge masts . the chains with hook are made by Jean .the same parts ready to be painted .the red arrow indicates the "compas magnetique étalon" (I do not know the name in English) I also prepare oars for painting (white ensign and Jean Mahieux) I received my wire EZ line, So I took care of pulleys and cranes cables I took advantage of the characteristic of EZ wire (elasticity) to carry out the cabling on my workshop .I took the dimension between the place where the pulleys are attached to the castle and the tip of charging mast((55mm )so I cut the wire EZ at 40 mm . the wire longest will go to the winch drum. and same mounting stretched at 55mm the same installed before placing the second crane ,I glued the "compas magnétique étalon " and install from photographs, empty cradles, crates, tarpaulins, oil barrels and wooden planks Contrary to what I thought, this area, seemed to be empty the day of the catapult testing see you soon for the next progress cheers Nicolas

HI gentlemen Neil .... sorry for the elapsed time betwen the each answers ..but of many professional obligation coupled with a very time consuming step ,my distanced of my "work surface" therefore of updates less numerous...butstill active I just finished this step and here are some steps first paint coat one of the masking steps another the first result without the weathering many small parts are separately painted the final result and in place on the richelieu it unlocks me of other stages .....I hope to put less time between each update best regard Nicolas

HI gentlemens :wave_1: thank a lot for your words and sorry for not having answered earlier but I narrowly avoided a nervous breakdown, who had me taken all desire to work on my Richelieu :mad_2: but now it gets better and the work restart :smallsmile: I'll have to finish definitely the area between the castle and the chimney ,because once the charging mats installed, impossible to reach into this area due to the presence of cables I have prepared the masts loads , and remade the supports of the heads of the masts ,indeed that I did for my first Richelieu was too simplistic (in gray on the picture) the pulleys are prepared Last blank tests the diagram of the cables arrangement you see that the area behind the cables will be difficult to access for pasting without breaking the cables,especially that it is the service boats that are here. so I'll finish them in first a 13 meter motor boat covered by tarpaulin the same without the tarpauline again a 13 meters motor boat but with a different layout it will be on the sea of my diorama, and will be charged with this so a 11 meter rowboat (master) and a 13 meter rowboat (master) and to finish , one of the four 10.80 and 11 meter motor boats provided for the officers and commander. Jean Mahieux draw to me, the PE for the external détails the family begins to enlarge see you soon cheers Nicolas
