HMS GRANADO - full hull - POF kit by CAF in 1:48 - by Uwe
It seems, that google translate made something special out of your sentance - I do not really understand .....
Bonjour à tous. Il est possible de récuperer des rectangles de mica dans les vieux micro-onde. L'isolant entre le four et le magnétron qui émet les ondes est en mica. On ouvre le four et la plaque de mica tenue par 4 vis se trouve en haut à droite. Souvent les fours à micro onde ont été jetés à cause du fait que la plaque de mica a été transpercée par les ondes courtes.
Hello everyone. It is possible to recover rectangles of mica from old microwaves. The insulation between the oven and the magnetron which emits the waves is made of mica. We open the oven and the mica plate held by 4 screws is located at the top right. Often microwave ovens have been thrown away because the mica plate has been pierced by the short waves.

Thanks for the mica info, makes it easier to obtain.
We all look for sources that might be easier, cheaper or more available to obtain.

Glass for cabin windows.
Ah, okay, clever idea. Thanks Kurt.
Pour les effets de verre sur les fenêtres, j'avais repéré sur un autre forum une résine qui parait intéressante (produit utilisé dans le modélisme ferroviaire). Je ne l'ai pas essayé personnellement.
For the glass effects on the windows, I spotted a resin on another forum that seemed interesting (product used in model railways). I haven't tried it personally.

pour l'effet verre, il existe également les feuilles cristal pour rétroprojecteur qui sont assez rigides et transparentes. Se découpent facilement. Mais je pense que le verre de l'époque était assez rustique pour les fenêtres.
for the glass effect, there are also crystal sheets for overhead projectors which are quite rigid and transparent. Cut easily. But I think the glass of the time was quite rustic for windows.

Hallo Tobias,
I used mica sheets for my windows in the stern of my Granado - the first time.
Please take a look at this post of my log and also the following in which this material is discussed more in detail
Oh yes, I remember it darkly, Uwe. It's been a while.
@Cathber
About the product Ricci uses, it's liquid glass, I've also used it at Le Coureur and it works quite well.

A very interesting discussion and also informations about Mica and alternatives
Many Thanks to all for participation and all the comments - and off course also the likes received
In the meantime all the treenails are installed (I did not count them, but a lot) and I sanded the outer hull and treated it with one layer of CLOU - it coming out nicely ......
Somehow boring (for some) to see a finished planking, but I like it, so maybe I posted too much photos of the result
the treenails are visible only when you get closer - an appearance, which I like: a little bit caulking, a little bit treenails, but not too much
and a total view
I realized, that some treenails where much lighter than others, so a small correction will be necessary and I will make on some spots new nails, but I am happy with the overall result
Many Thanks for your interest ...... to be continued ..... I am looking forward to read about your opinion, positive but also negative

Now THAT is a fantastic looking hull! Nice assortment of butt joint locations. Precise treenails. In scale caulking. Variegated pattern to the boards (colors). Perfect Uwe!

Hello
Beautiful upholstery, I wouldn't improve the pinning, it's ok, but it's your model, do what your heart dictates. Regards, Mirek
