Ex-FAAWAFU Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I don't know the RICHELIEU well, but I assume there must have been men stationed on those platforms on the forward end of the funnel (AA guns? Directors?). That must have been hideous whenever she was sailing downwind; lungs topped up with funnel gas is not nice - I've flown enough VERTREP sorties to the back of a Tide or OL Class tanker t know that. It stinks and seems to be about 90% sulphur. Great model, though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI gentlemen many thank for your kind words and sorry for the late answer !!Ex-FAAWAFU yep ..there was on the platforms, the anti-aircraft weapons and the gunners that was not to breathe clean air Richelieu had his entire career combustion problems ..he smoked black enormous ,not ideal for discretion ......its rangefinder present above on the chimney has even been painted black to avoid seeing the traces of soot on gray paint French "systéme D" all diorama accessories are painted and pending the weathering rails and the lift (gray round) for the trolleys are glued I faced a problem with the plates "valeur" and "discipline "impossible to locate their locations......and finally I found their vacation after having scrutinized many pictures :shock: the plates are installed on the fence for the raft "valeur " to starboard and "discipline" to port side testing for the rafts setting up (it takes me much yet) the rails for the secondary boats are also glued ,and an test with cradles is done the cranes bases and rangefinders for the 100mm AA are installed I'm beginning to find that I have large fingers to put all subsets :big_grin: see you latter for the next step cheers Nicolas 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LE BOSCO Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited April 10, 2016 by LE BOSCO 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LE BOSCO Posted August 7, 2016 Author Share Posted August 7, 2016 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 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
