  1. Thanks Fred! To tell you the truth, I didn't even know I could make these things and when I started building the Amarante I didn't know how to make its decorations and I started with the idea of not making them; then I tried, I realised I would need small tools that were not commercially available, I tried to make them myself and I succeeded in that feat that I thought was impossible for me! ..... You always have to try!
  2. as I said before, I chose not to paint the decorations but to carve them into bas-reliefs, even though it does not conform to the real ship:
  3. I do not generally like painting on my models; I know that in reality, on this model, the lettering and the various decorations were painted, but I decided to give my model a certain style, certainly a personal one, and I will try, if I can, to make the decorations with boxwood bas-reliefs Meanwhile, the model is ready for the exhibition in Pisa next weekend:
  4. some progress: I found these letters, but honestly, they don't excite me too much..... I will try to make them in boxwood. What do you think about?
  5. I redid the columns of the base by reducing their size and added two side support bars. Now I feel it has more harmony and above all more stability
  6. However, I must make one clarification: the decorations were not carved from wood but using modelling fillers
