Richelieu

[barry]

Thanks fellas nearly ready to think about unfolding

Correction having unfolded a few bits it's back to the drawing board for another month.

If you have the full version and are using the automatic cut and merge routine it does make quite a few mistakes which throw out the unfolding in Pepakura. This is usually due to extra lines being generated which pass through points without intersecting and usually sit above the correct set. If you have to do it they are easy to find using the select tool set to normal. A bit tedious but it works.

Not sure you will even find the additions in this pic.

I also know why non professionals don't do battleships.

Excellent work Barry. It's really beginning to take shape now. Looks fully outfitted to me. If you tackle this and a carrier at the same time, I think that easily qualifies you as a professional.

That looks nice, Barry!

I have a Richelieu on the stocks myself. It has been there for ages. I didn't get past the deck and base. I realized that I did not have sufficiently clear drawings to progress further. Since the French Archives made drawings of the Richelieu available, this is no longer the case, but the amount of work involved is beyond my present level of motivation. Sooo many details.

Good luck! How do you juggle so many difficult projects at one time?

Great image, Barry!

Hm, Richelieu was the fisrt model I ever built. I was then 15 years old. I must say it's not great, but I keep it for sake of memories

[Golden Bear]

Yeah, at 1:100 this thing is going to eat a lot of paper. You're the one to make it work though.

Thanks for stopping by.

Carl 1/200 at 1/100 I would have to extend the house !

PiotrekJ old memories are nice as are old models.

Greg so far it's only a drawing with a lot of questions about building it. As for the juggling I think it is a butterfly mind.

For the few who might be interested this how far I got. I am not accurate enough with mapping so I do it the hard with the analogue cutter in metso. The lines are becoming confusing.

[Don Boose]

The lines are certainly confusing to ME, but I'm glad you are continuing to work on this one, Barry.
