  1. Hi, you have to search on Google "Lettie G. Howard plans", there is enough material to build your model !!! Mauro
  2. Hi Bob, congratulations on your schooner , is really amazing !!! Expect to see you at work on a new model ..... Mauro
  3. Hi Lawrence, thank you for the kind words that you gave to my schooner, makes me glad that my modest model you liked it. I am sure that you will do a great job !!! Mauro
  4. Hi John, the deck plating walnut is not final, it will be covered by a second shell thinner and lighter in color. Mauro
  5. 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 ...........
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. After you have completed the first planking I'll lay a second layer thinner, probably oak. Mauro
  9. Update of the work, the first layer of planking is almost completed. Mauro
  10. 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
  11. Thank you, I hope that the construction of my model is to your liking. Mauro
  12. 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
  13. I have slightly modified the profile of some frames to make the lines more harmonious, now I can move on to the planking. Mauro
  14. Hi Doris , finally you're back to show us some pictures of your work, amazing as always !!! Mauro
  15. Hi ken, there is a museum in Genoa Galata, I also know the museum of Camogli, but in Italy it is not easy to get help or documentation museums. Only a few "friends" are able to get access to archival materials. The model ship is not considered a means of spreading the culture of the sea, rather it is considered as a game for adults I was a little child. Mauro
  16. Thank you friends, I hope to make you thrill to my model !!! Mauro
  17. Start building a Genoa's saettia , merchant ship often used in '600 around the Mediterranean Sea. Here is a picture of how it should be (approximately) the finished model. Mauro
