Trabaccolo by donrobinson - FINISHED - Amati - with a little Santa bashing


Recommended Posts

Wow, this small, charming lady looks seductively ...

beware, trabaccolo always has sails on the opposite sides of the masts,

thus better captures the wind in the stern and from the side ...

Thanks so much to all of you: Rick, Dimitris, Frank, Zoran and Crackers also to those of you for your likes. It is very close now to being done, the rigging is now complete, I am doing the rudder and anchor. I am having problems making a rope coil for anchor rope, this is something I haven't done before so I am trying to find a way of doing it. If anyone has a good way of doing it I would be glad to hear of it

 That makes so much sense with the sails Zoran, I tossed a coin as to which way to mount them as I wasn't sure and have seen it done both ways. Next time it will be done right!!

 Have a Good Day

Thanks so much Dimitris, but I didn't make myself very clear(not unusual for me) but it is the coils for on the deck(like for cannons) I am trying to make. These I have never made.

 I just came inside from clearing snow to have a coffee and to check in, Thanks again for your super fast response

Well here she is all done, this was a fun little kit to build and I hope the grandson enjoys it even though it isn't much of a toy to play with. I am thinking I am going to put it on a base, for added security.

 One down and one more to go for Santa, now to finish the carriage.post-20628-0-09913300-1448761538_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-86422600-1448761565_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-98211200-1448761586_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-76252700-1448761617_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-31254900-1448761646_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-71576200-1448761675_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-50505800-1448761719_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-32226300-1448761744_thumb.jpgpost-20628-0-67385900-1448761764_thumb.jpg

Hi Lawrence, for painting the sails I used paint pens. They work very well with very little bleeding and no runs.

Hello Lawrence, here is a picture of the pens I used. I bought these at Michaels but I'm sure they are availible at any hobby store. It does not say what type of paint is used in the pens, they are not too expensive and really do a good job
