Hi everyone... thanks for the likes ... Nirvana, it is very nice to have a chance to say something about our sails : those are present at all of our sailing ship models, in the kits. Those are made of natural fabric, embroidered... this means the sails are made with the stitches on already, but the modeler has to cut them off the sheet of fabric and to make a hem or two... The modeler has to add the ropes at the sails' edges and they are ready to go ... Regards, Zoran

Hello Elijah... this is a good question ... At the Brazzera, Trabaccolo and Pelig (old type) the bowsprit sits to the right side, not to the center... This is the tradition and it gets out of the need to maneuver in small harbors... There were many of this ships at the same time. The bowsprit removes very easily an gives much more space to maneuver the ships within the narrow place... Those ships were piled up side by side , 5-10 of them and this was not possible with the bowsprits on, so the bowsprit was removed at that time ... The cap (figurehead) is in the middle, so the bowsprit is at the right... I guess those were the reasons why this is like this ... The other very important reason is a long tradition … Regards, Zoran

Hi Mr. Ian ... here I am , at my computer, drawing as usually .... I made some explanation for You : This is a special shaped bracket for the bowsprit, made of metal... there is the wooden bearing for the bowsprit firmly connected to the topgallant rail. The bowsprit lies on it... The bracket is firmly connected to the wooden bearing. One side of the bracket has a hinge with a shaft, it opens rotating over this shaft... The other side of the bracket has the hinge with a removable shaft, this shaft locks the bracket up... here is a sketch : It does not have to be in the function on the model ... Regards, Zoran

Hi Mr. Jack... The boat, Falkusa is done brilliant, this is an outstanding sample... But You have touched me with the crates ! It would be nice to see the higher version of the sail (just a thought), it makes her to be charming. this could be shorten to about 3/4 ... But, the truth, the glass cover would be heavier... Can't wait to see the buckets !

The rudder is like an extension of the keel... this is why it goes deep into the water , to keep her stabile... This was a cargo ship, always under heavy load, moving relatively slowly ... Waiting for the rigging Zoran

Hi Mr. Ian ... many likes from me for this educational build she is looking really very nice ! I like the wood changes... Sometimes, looking at Your works guys, I thought to myself : should I change the sort of the wood in the sets ?! the Hawk is fantastic too, it goes to the Brazzera in a brilliant way ... Here, they scream over the bays early morning... Regards, Zoran

and thet the rudder... it has a nose-the support on the bottom of the stern... the rudder hinges are tipical for this type of Trabaccolo.... the rudder goes down the keel for about 1m. This has a purpose like the keel extension and makes the sailing to be more safe...

Hello mikiek ... I mus tell that the English is much better at the complete line by now... some of the kits alround are from the last series, so this could be a problem... but anyway, the new English versions are done and they are on the shelves right now ... if it happens that enyone get the old ones, just tel me and I'll send the new ones ... I love to say that Don is guilty for some of those new textual parts !! Regards, Zoran

Hi Puckotred... nice Wasa is building on here, nice work indeed ... Was the water line raised a bit later on, when the ship was built, so it passes over the lowest wale (rubbing strake) ?... by this, the gunports were put too low ?... Regards, Zoran

It is time for the mast building .... so, here are some parts of it : the mast, crosstree, uppermast... The variations are small comparing to the other ships, but still, trabaccolo is a bit original ...

Then the specific kind of the bitts ... They run through the deck to the keelson ...
