I love brie cheese and I find the wood of the packaging useful 😉😉😉 !!!

The picture posted below hangs in my living room and was painted, supposedly in Venice, in about 1898 by the relative of a family friend.  He gave it to my parents in 1932 as a wedding present.

 

I thought that I would post it here to see if you could identify the type of watercraft.  It might be what you are building.

Hi Roger, in fact the boat in the painting you posted is very similar to a bragozzo, it could be this boat .

... second part....

Second planking .........

the laying of the deck, also in this case I use wood recovered from the packages of brie cheese that I will cover later ....

For some time now I have been placing a vertical planking inside the hull to strengthen it, later it will be covered by other horizontal slats ......

The bottom of the model, seen from the inside .....

The model has a flat bottom, I don't use strips but thin plywood panels that I recovered ......

Very nice to see this! I, too would like to build a model of one someday (torn between these or a Trabaccolo...). Marzari's book is superb; another is Penzo's, from 1992:  (They are very complimentary, with each having things the other doesn't cover; I'd say either stands alone well for model making).

Lesser known than Venice of course, is Cessenatica (south of Ravenna): A superb museum there with a Bragosso in the museum, and several outside in the canal: 

 

Penzo and Marzari are the greatest experts on Adriatic boats, each of their books is a treasure !! the 2 models that I have reproduced are part of the maritime museum of Cesenatico, In my opinion the trabaccolo is among all the Adriatic boats the most fascinating (Marzari has made a beautiful monograph)
