March 30 2008 | Failed photoetch (the following)
Now here is the result, not so bright...
March 30 2008 | Failed phototetch -reason 1
I have been building a very efficient machine to lighten up the photoresist covered brass, but have a look at this, I shopuld have known it wouldn't work.
The thing is I have been printing the sheme on some transparent laser paper but my printer is NOT good enough..

March 30 2008 | Failed photoetching
And here i go again with this hell that is homemade photoetching. Here is one of the frets i need for the diorama, and it's the one of the escape door behind the turret. No problem to design the fret..
March 23 2008 | Another movie -the building process
This is a 7mn movie with no sound (except the noise of the wind and rom my headphones too..). Short clips tied together who cover the building process so far.
March 23 2008 | The first video :)
"By popular demand"..
Actually I have already 2 hours of footage already done, with no vocal parts, but here's one bit I did 1 month ago, before actually beginning to cut plastic. It kinda explains the making up and plans or the diorama, there will be more, loads more!

March 23 2008 | Dry fitting the Masséna's hull
here is a dry fitting of the hull. notice the space where there will be some niche with an escape door. the turret will be placed emerging from hole on the horizontal plates.
Now after asking several questions about ship building in forums, it seems that I will have to do the whole of the hull in photoetch! Time to work out my plans...

March 23 2008 | Clamps to fix the whole
A good half a dozen clamps were needed to adjust the whole!
March 23 2008 | Seddul-bahr -the masséna's lower hull
So here I pre-bent the plastic so that it would be easier to glue afterwards
