LE RICHELIEU

Took a break from the ship and did some work on some very fiddly bits that will go with the diorama....they were all fashioned out of photoetch left overs and bits and pieces from here and there...still some work to be done on them ....they r e not even glued together yet and painted of course....I enjoyed this bit...

THAT'S ALL FOLKS.......

Lou, i must have missed out on a bunch of posts. this is indescribable. How much smaller are you going to go? Your detail is awesome and i see a really nice diorama forming here. you've heard this before but seems like the best one so far. It is amazing that everytime you start on a new project, you outdo the previous one. Well done and keep those pics coming, if only i were retired too....... well anyone can dream can't they!?

Great work as always ja Pecluq

That's some fantastic detail work! Love the diorama idea, that will really bring it to life.

great work and detail Lou!!! It is almost a pity you have cover all this work with paint. Looking foward to see this project finished.

Very nice job Nann , everything from scratch

Insomma your the man... welldone nannu pec..

I like how you used paint tinlets for the tanks

well done my friend!! awsome!!

by the way... what's the french word for DANGER???!!!

Well done, very very nice, we missed you yesterday.

Proximo, a very valid point re danger..............

Wow man, the fuel depot looks cool even the shunter. then only thing i don;t really like are the computer componenents you used to simulate the different tanks. They are obvious for what they are becasue of their particular shape and especially the top which has that round recess. Can you at least cover the top with a piece of round plastic to get a flat top or else some filler/milliput to get a domed top. They will look less obvious. Just my opinion, you know i love your work.

mela sur proximo....in the United States the word for Danger is Danger....the Richelieu is being portrayed leaving the States after a general refit in 1943 ajma kemm hu helu il Banana...we miss u mate !!!!
yes Brian u have a valid point there... will see what I can do about it...imma I left them like that because they are so small that u don't even notice. These computer bits save me a lot of cutting and hastle...imma I will do something about it ic cucata issa to match the paint .....because that was a concoction of mine....

great detail work, and great ideas. Just a small note, I agree with brian as some look a bit obvious from where they came, just a little filler and repainting.

With all the computer bits you used, is the computer still working?

Great on all fronts ja Pecluq

Nice one re Danger

See you Wed next Nannu

Nice one re Danger, kemm ahna stupidi

Issa nahseb li qed tesagera naqra iz-zejjed re taqbuli mohhi, forsi qazzewk jigru iva imma li taqbullek mohhok hi naqra far fetched

CU next Wed, keep up the excellent work.

Too bad you did not make it Nan, you missed out on my birthday cake. And Ray must be on a real diet, i am truly convinced becasue he rushed off to duty without taking a piece. Very impressive indeed! What a weight watcher!

Prosit Nan, I really like the ambience, next in line you should do Dock 1 as it is history now LOL

By the way the word DANGER in french is dangereaux and on signs they still write DANGER, just to add on the above lierature lesson

Gonna have lots of tiny men this dio eh Lou?

WoW good job, very good detailing , I don't know how you do the detailing especially when taking into consideration the scale

havn"t seen a lot of this lately but as usual great work

Here are some pics of the Brooklyn class tugs....one of them with a conversion job....main superstructures front and back are nearly completed....
