Richelieu

Just thought I would make a seperate thread. I was lucky enough to find a very beautiful part finished Super 3d drawing on the net which had quite a few bits of info on the fore tower.

Richelieu was certainly a distinctive and attractive warship with that unusual stack-cum-superstructure and pair of quad turrets forward. That's a fine-looking image, Barry.

Nice job. I'm assuming that the cardmodel will follow?

Thanks friends eventually the card model will arrive but there are quite a few bits shrouded in mystery still such as the boat racks and the superstructure on top of the funnel housing. For once I would like to do all the 3d work before starting.

Richelieu progress

The boat racks are in fact an open girder structure with 2 boats on the deck and on top of the lattice plus 2 smaller boats nested in the upper boats. Most of the ships boats had been replaced by carley floats in 1943. There is some discrepency between the pics of Richelieu leaving New York after her refit with regard to the heavy AA guns midships splinter shields. They are shown here as tubs which is as the French drawing but in pics they are shown as a combined mounting. One of the most complicated bits to design are the splinter shield around the bridge platforms which give the ship it's distinctive look.
