Ed è molto interessante notare che a Venezia, ancora nella seconda metà del 18° secolo, in realtà si costruivano ancora grandi navi con telai singoli (" ad ordinata unica "), nonostante un commento sopra che dovrebbero essere (o effettivamente erano?) costruiti con telai doppi (" a doppia ordinata ").
I will also open the topic on the Venetian Vessel shortly and answer your questions there.

Scusa se mi ero perso un post precedente, ma vorrei sapere qualcosa in più sul tuo intaglio perché è così bello. Stai segnando i tuoi pezzi, con inchiostro, pennarello o qualcos'altro? Stai intagliando l'osso con frese o scalpelli o qualcos'altro? Infine, che tipo di adesivo usi per l'osso su legno?
Grazie Michele, il tuo log è un piacere per tutti noi seguirlo.

Hi, sorry you that I only just read your question.
For the Commerce de Marseille, I chose to make all the carvings in bovine bone as an alternative to boxwood, drawing on the old arsenal models exhibited at museums where ivory and sometimes bone were precisely used for white-painted decoration at that time ( late 18th century/early 19th century).
The carving is done with cutters and I must say that they work very well. Because it is harder than boxwood, you can create small details with less risk of breakage.. It can also be worked with mini files for small details, whereas for gouges I find it too hard.
The only drawback is that it is white and therefore very light and you can't distinguish well, as in wood, the details you are carving as you work. With a little practice, though, you get used to it afterwards. The time to make a carving is also longer, but the results are great. Then there is also to say that only small bone cuts are commercially available. In this 1/72 scale it is possible for me to make all the decorations, which I could not do in a larger scale.
Instead, to cut thin pieces such as frisate I use fretwork. While with boxwood I start with a thicker board and once cut I bring it to the desired thickness using the mini grinder being very but very careful. With bone, the plates I used are 8/10 of a mm thick and it would have been impossible to cut them without breaking them. In this case I glued a wooden board underneath ( if you look at the third and fifth photos you can see it), which I removed at the end of the job.
What can I say, I find it great in some respects. With that natural, warm color it gives the model a unique visual impact, certainly a material to consider for certain cases. -

Quale nave veneziana? È mostrato da qualche parte? Di che periodo e di che tipo?
It is a reproduction of a model exhibited at the Naval Museum in Venice, a 74-gun vessel, 1780 class. I will also open a topic on this later, below I will put a photo of my model in working progress and my three active shipyards.

ottimo lavoro Michele e ottima fotografia, stai usando la tecnica dello sfondo della coperta nera? come viene fissato l'oggetto in posizione per le pose mostrate?
quadro meraviglioso e il tono caldo del legno è bellissimo

Thank you. To hold the model in place I adopt a small wedge on the side not in view.

Puoi mostrare una vista laterale come è sui piani? Potrebbe essere una foto rapida e sporca della proiezione laterale con le porte della pistola mostrate (decorazioni non necessarie). Giusto per vedere la disposizione generale della nave.
The plans are still under development and therefore not public. It is not possible for me to show the drawings because of copyright.

Che ritmo di lavoro! Lavori da solo? O gestisci un grande team di dipendenti!? 🙂
Hello, the work is already in the avenzamento stage. I started the construction site a year ago. I alternate work on the Nereids with my other two active shipyards, le Commerce de Marseille and the Venetian Vessel. Now little by little I am posting photos of the work already done.

Hi everyone, this is another yard I am working on, a new Ancre project that was proposed to me by Mr. D. Berti and my friend Franco Fissore. It is a French frigate, the Nereid, designed and built by Olliver father and son, a first order frigate of 1722. The ship will be built, based on drawings by Jean-Claude Lemineur, in 1/48 scale in pear and cherry wood. The beautiful and rich carvings will be executed in boxwood and then finished with gold patina. Finally, the whole model, as is now my custom, will be treated with judea bitumen to give that lived-in look that has now become my style. In the meantime that I am waiting for the rest of the Nereid plans still in process, I am proceeding with the material I have on hand. The frigate will be armed on one side only, while the other will be left exposed in much the same way as I did for the Commerce de Marseille.

Sono d'accordo con te, ma la cosa che più mi affascina di questa fregata sono le sculture e il balcone di poppa.
