  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. After you have completed the first planking I'll lay a second layer thinner, probably oak. Mauro
  4. Update of the work, the first layer of planking is almost completed. Mauro
  5. 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
  6. Thank you, I hope that the construction of my model is to your liking. Mauro
  7. 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
  8. I have slightly modified the profile of some frames to make the lines more harmonious, now I can move on to the planking. Mauro
  9. Hi Doris , finally you're back to show us some pictures of your work, amazing as always !!! Mauro
  10. I have almost finished laying the second planking ...... Mauro
  11. Here are the first photos of the model ...... Mauro
  12. 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
  13. Hi John, I hope not to disappoint you ....... Mauro
  14. Thank you friends, I hope to make you thrill to my model !!! Mauro
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Continues the laying of the second planking .... Mauro
  18. 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
  19. Thanks Bob, I'm pretty happy with my model (even if your schooner is of a higher category !!!) Mauro
  20. 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
  21. Latest photos of the model, now my schooner is over. Mauro
  22. I started to place the second planking .... Mauro
