Hi gents
After the holidays, resumption of work in my shipyard!!
I decided to install the docking keels which are not present on the hull. I cut keels from the plastic card of 2.5mm of thickness,having drawn the place of the keels on the hull,I stuck them

She are then sanded has flat on some sandpaper

Obtaining this result,more thick towards the bow and the stern (arrows),and amidship very fine

the final result

I not going to make all the intakes of water under the hull!
Then, the superstructure of the turret of the rangefinder of 380 is detailled whit PE doors,plastic card,and one of my resin parts

The turret is detailled ,and one news bathtub is instaled on the top

The new optics of rangefinder

the new mast of aerial

And to finish,the master of the air intake

All the temporarily installed parts

see you latter
best regard
Nicolas

HI Dave

Thank you for your comment!your project of Arromanche (and Karel Dorma),has which level of progress is he ? Mine is for the moment has the stop, the fault has a lack of documentations on passageways !!What is funny, it is you that made, two projects ( T2 and Furtive frigate )that I would like to try to realize In one of my "eight lives"
best regards
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas
My Karel Doorman build has temporarily stopped for the same sort of reasons, lack of details on those passageways! I may have to portray something that might be suitable rather than completely accurate.
I know what you mean, so many kits so little time (something I would never admit to my wife )

Best wishes
Dave.

Hello Nicolas,

I follow your VIIc boat from time to time and was really impressed by all the details you add to the scale 1/72 model.
I did not noticed you start a scale 1/350 Richelieu. Well I have taken a closer look to all the extra work and I was really impressed by all the fine and clean work you have made. Nice to see you try to add even small details like the air intake and the rangefinder.

One question, like me you work with styrene, what kind of glue do your use?

TIA

Thank you Christian for your comment!! I use TAMIYA glue extra thin or MR.CEMENT glue also extra thin !for me,the best glues ! before, I have used the Trichloroethylene....efficient !but too bad for my neurons

Hello gents

I continue in my "Correction work" on the turrets of 380 ,I attack the blast bags
The "genuine" Parts



The first tests,starting from one of my resin parts



the turret with four new blast bags and the brass guns fron l'arsenal



six new blast bags waiting molding (With different folds)



I also made the chimneys of expension







And also a new air intake (Present in three copies in front of the turret A)



The next stage will concern the crane
best regards
Nicolas
