    Hi Hartmut, the saettia should be, in my opinion, the ancestor of pinco , the similarities are many. Time ago I realized I also a model of "Pinco Genovese", I am attaching a photo, even if it is of good quality. I wish to make a beautiful model !!! Wishes for a happy Christmas to you and all members of the forum and your family.Mauro

    Hi Nils, my sails are all sewn by hand, do not have a sewing machine ....... and do not know the use !!! The sails may look a little different from each other just because they are hand sewn and the seams, despite the efforts, are slightly different from each other. Once finished the work on the sails hope that a pass with the iron makes them more uniform. Reciprocate the good wishes, I wish you and your family and friends a Merry Christmas !!! Mauro

    I finished the first deck plating ... Mauro
  14. maurino
    Hi John, the deck plating walnut is not final, it will be covered by a second shell thinner and lighter in color. Mauro

    Hi Hans, the plans do not exist on the market, I used those developed by a talented naval model maker who began building a few years ago the same model. I do not know if he has completed the construction, I hope to do it ...........

    Start laying the planking of the deck , I'm using strips of walnut that will be covered by a second shell of pine or oak. Mauro
  17. maurino
    I shaped the sides of the bow of obtaining the groove typical of hearses, which facilitates the loading of goods. Furthermore'm reinforcing the inside of the sides with strips placed vertically which will then be covered by strips thinner, clearly horizontally placed. Mauro
  18. maurino
    After you have completed the first planking I'll lay a second layer thinner, probably oak. Mauro
  19. maurino
    Update of the work, the first layer of planking is almost completed. Mauro

    Thanks Brian, I hope that the updates of my model will help to raise awareness of a sailing ship that has contributed to the history of Genoa !!! Mauro

    Thank you, I hope that the construction of my model is to your liking. Mauro
  23. maurino
    Thanks Nils, your visits are always most welcome !!! Too bad that lately I have no time to come and visit your models, I hope to remedy soon. Mauro
  24. maurino
    I have slightly modified the profile of some frames to make the lines more harmonious, now I can move on to the planking. Mauro

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
