Hello Mauro,

 

nice job!

 

Iam watching your buildlog most interessted, for I myself am modelling a pico genovese by the plans from Euro Modell.

 

kindly Hartmut

Mauro,

 

great looking Job on the sails again, I trust ist machine sewing this time or ....?

 

the sail surface in your post #35 pics look very much wrinkled, is that willingly so, if my fresh sewed sails throw buckles I wet the with starch spray and iron them dry. The Cotton Cloth did not shrink by doing so....

 

In your post #37 pics the sail surfaces look quite nice and even, did you do some Change to your process there ?

 

Happy Christmas holiday

Right Bob, the plans are the ones  !!!

Ciao, vorrei sapere dove posso trovare piani e questa bellezza, io sono un principiante e non voglio lavorare kit. Io voglio fare dopo i piani, e sarei amici, vi ringrazio se mi potete aiutare in qualche modo

Hi, you have to search on Google "Lettie G. Howard plans", there is enough material to build your model !!!

Mauro

I started to prepare the sails ...
Mauro

Hi Bob, congratulations on your schooner  , is really amazing !!! Expect to see you at work on a new model .....
Mauro

Hi Maurino

 

I just found your great build log on your fishing schooner, I have been so very much tied up in my own little corner building the HMS Victory that I have misted yours and many other builds on the MSW Form, for this I am very sorry as I have misted a lot.of great builds. Your build caught my eye as I will be building a fishing schooner that my Great Grand Father Commanded in the early 1900th, the Annie M. Parker, your build has given me a lot of ideas to think about when I complete HMS Victory around Christmas time take or give a bit. You have built a fine ship with a lot of detail that I love so much, well done,                                              ENJOY.

 

Regards   Lawrence 

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

I finished the first deck plating ...

Mauro

Very nice Mauro,  I like the color of the walnut decking.

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

Mauro

Hey Mauro, very nice ship you are building here!

 

I suppose you do have some plans for this ship, to make her.

 

Are these plans for sale via stores on the internet?

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

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

Hi Maurino.  Nice planking so far.  Will you be putting a second layer of planking on, or will the first layer suffice?  

After you have completed the first planking I'll lay a second layer thinner, probably oak.

Mauro

Update of the work, the first layer of planking is almost completed.
Mauro

Small updates ......

this is a great subject to build. I look forward to your updates.

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

Hi Mauro

 

This is the first chance I've had to revisit your log since your first post, but I'm really impressed with how far you've come with it.

 

Looks like she will have a very shapely hull.  Looking forward to following along.

 

All the best.

Thank you, I hope that the construction of my model is to your liking.

Mauro

Looks very promissing Mauro,

Interesting rigging with those latin sails

 

Nils

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

I have slightly modified the profile of some frames to make the lines more harmonious, now I can move on to the planking.
Mauro

Hi Doris , finally you're back to show us some pictures of your work, amazing as always !!!
