  1. 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
  2. Thank you friends, I hope to make you thrill to my model !!! Mauro
  3. 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
  4. Hello Allan, I beg your pardon, but I can not understand your question, I do not know English and use Google Translator ...... in this case the translation is really imaginative !!! Could you explain your question ????? Excuse me a lot .... Mauro
  5. Hi Nils, we Italians are very good in the work of haute couture (Armani, Trussardi, Versace ......), I also work with me in the hollow needle and thread !!! The crew is too static, but at this scale I have not found anything better. Currently I'm building the Beagle and I'm looking for a new model to be assembled at the same time, but are still undecided ..... Mauro
  6. Thanks Bob, I'm pretty happy with my model (even if your schooner is of a higher category !!!) Mauro
  7. Hi, I'm currently building the H.M.S.Beagle, but it is my custom to do at least 2 models at the same time and I'm still choosing which build another ship. Mauro
  8. I painted and placed the crew of the schooner, although their poses do not seem willing to work hard !!! Mauro
  9. Thanks Bob, my model is almost as good, but I'm sure it will be fabulous Lettie your !!! Mauro
  10. Thank you for the compliments, I do not know if I did a good model, I materials come putting all my effort, thanks again !!! Mauro
  11. I decided to self-produce the strips of the second planking, I bought it from a carpenter a scrap of veneer, which I cut into pieces of about 30 cm. Then, on one side only, I brushed glue diluted with water so as not to make the pulping wood during cutting. Using a paper trimmer I cut the wood (oak) in strips of 3 mm. Mauro
  12. As I always do in my models, I apply inside the hull a mix of white glue, wood chips, sawdust and small wood scari. This gives more strength to the hull and prevents shrinkage and twisting of the planking . Mauro
  13. I've almost finished the planking, I'll have a little sanding to make it smooth. Mauro
  14. Hello Doris, great job, as always !!! I downloaded every single picture of your model, it is a veritable encyclopedia of ship modeling !!! Mauro
