Dear all, after a long time I am in the workshop again 🙂 this is my new model Taka, kind of boat which has been in service till 1990's or so in black sea region of Turkey, mainly used for cargo or fishing purposes. the model will be a diaroma, so no planking below the water line. I applied some weathering to one side, later to be applied to all parts. Mehmet

Hello everybody I started my model "Çektirme", a classical coaster. These coasters have been in service for many years in black sea reagon for mainly cargo transportation between docks. due to mass usage of timber, production was abondened around 1990's. this type has both sails and an engine, typical of the ones in service around 1950's. I am finished with planking, some weathering is applied via coal powder. details are applied via pastel powder and brush. eventually all the body and the deck will be painted, so I used not much detailed weathering. mehmet

Hello friends, as the S/S Warkworth costs a plenty of mindwork I decided to add a second project less complicated and time consuming. So I leafed through the plans I've stored and found some very nice old "chances" but mostly the were to complicated and sophisticated as a "sidecar-building". So I figured out the exercisebook sized Modelarstwo Okretowe Special No. 19 of May 2015: The prototype is a Sicilan/Southitalian Coasting boat of the 1860th with a length between 15 to 20 meters and a 1/3 Length/Breadth ratio. Here a pencil drawing I found several years ago in teh web - I think on an Italian site. Here well to see the line of scuppers on the underside of the bulkwalk. The Lauretto was used for short sea trades and a fasr as my Latin knowledge translates some Italian websides I figured out thet the latin-rigged boats made also journeys to the North African coast. So this little ships were used in transport purposes and fast and handy ships to sail. It looks like the were used in transport of general cargo in sacks, barrels and boxes - no bulk cargos seem to be stored under the hatches. I couldnt find out what are the diffrences and relationsship features to the also latin-rigged Schiffazzo - but there were both: similaritys and diffrences. But let stay us with the Lautello in exspecial the "after castle" that is not found on the threemasted 1 Schiffazzo -here scale to 1/50; As you can see from the MO-issiue's cover the hatches are closely covered - the plan gives us a grating hatchcover all over here. The plans delievered with the MO are allways very good and they have got a fantasic price. I was able to enlarge the hull's drawings up to 1/50 and so I can start with the work very fast - hopefully some more knowledgeable of you may help with further and deeper information to this article. Next stop: taking photos of the enlarged plan. 1 edit
