    About the "trincarino" and the frames, it's ok Gb. I have been also through these misjudgments and as my teacher used to say: "I'm sure you will remember it in a next model".🙂 Well, my idea for representing of hairy cup-cover on the steampost is simple but I think quite effective. Take a pipecleaner and make some loops on a rod close to the stempost's dimentions... You can leave it this way, or you can cover the rod with thin paper, place some white glue and make the loops . If you don't like the usual color, you can use water colors and a paintbrush to make some black highlights. Thx

    Gb, sorry for the space abuse but just for the knowledge. http://www.veniceboats.com/trabaccolo-pelliccione.htm Thx

    As far I can remember there was such a discussion (lost with Msw1) about that fleece, in which the main viewpoint was that it used to be set there, to protect the sails from the long stempost (?) @Gb If you follow the "curly hair" version on the stempost, I have a very good Idea. Thx

    Take a look there: https://www.cherini.eu/etnografia/Italia2/index2.html at no 117 and in the next page, from no 188 to 202. But I'm sure you will find interesting all the sketches... Thx

    Hi. There's no need to place more frames... In fact, I think that pair in left and right of the stempost are not required but you may leave them as supporters of the gunwall and inner structures. I can't see clearly, so I guess the same happens at sternpost. But I I think an image speaks better... So see the correct installation of the frames that are facing the central axis. You should think that if they were real frames, they already would have been installed vertically on the keel... Trincarino is the Italian term (Trepetee or courzeto in Gr) for a kind of margin plate with cuts, that locks the frames at the level of the deck. Depending on the method that a modeler builds a hull, is usually placed on an already finished deck and before the false frames on which they step... See the links (needs translation even it's not accurate) Thx https://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/ricerca/trincarino/ https://nautipedia.it/index.php/Trincarino

    Nice work Though, I think it would be more accurate, if the frames at stem and stern post, had been placed (or been trimmed) facing to the central axle of the hull. Aren't you going to place a margin plate (trincarino)? Thx

    Hi. Unless you have already think about, I would suggest to reconsider those formers you have placed to have curved deck. Being glued only in three points, you might have unstable parts of the deck, when you cut openings, since you will cut also part of them... Just a thought. Thx

    Hi. You might find helpful to see old photos of Malta’s – Gozo boat or dghajsa or Tal-latini (all names for the same boat) Thx M
  9. Thanasis
    I would be pretty fortunate if there was any relation with any Malta's boat, since I'm searching for this.🙂 However, I'm afraid that the two masts in sequence (spritsails) do not suggest either Luzzu or Speronara (Xprunara) Maltese boats. Many thanks

    Hello. The below photo was taken in port of Chania (Crete-Greece) at early of 20th century. Is there anyone who might have come across this kind of rigging from Black Sea to Mediterranean. Many thanks

    Hi. I'm not familiar with Greek ancient ships but I collect whatever seems rare and useful for others... So take a look there https://www.scribd.com/document/249688135/Georgio-u or you can make a search with the term "BRONZE AGE SHIPS AND RIGGING pdf". Thx
  12. Thanasis
    Thank you all. Shooner. I buy tools only when I have exhausted all my other options. Ship modeling should be something joyful, rather than stressful... Thx

    Hi all. Here is my method that I used to follow in the days of MSW-1, when I was younger and more passionate... Thx

    I have two sketches-ways in my library, that might help you a bit. Sorry but I haven't kept the source... Thx

    Beautiful, precise and clear work. Well done Γιώργο (George)... Thx

    I reply myself from another post... You could try by visiting a local repair store in which, a non functional CPU might be given for free, related fb pages where you can find them also for free or by an exchange and finally from the ebay starting from around 2 euro-dollar. Thx

    Hi Glenn. I don't see any blasphemy. I prefer the shortcuts whenever I can. Proper shortcuts is another kind of skill...🙂 So, every old processor (CPU) can give you many tiny nails with round head. Depending on the possessor you can have different sizes. It might help you if you decide not to make just pencil marks. Thx

    Μιχάλη Καλώς ήλθες... Michel Welcome aboard... Thanasis Thx

    Hi all. I really admire and appreciate whoever scratches everything on his model... As about me, I prefer the shortcuts whenever I can. I have placed it also somewhere...For those who think alike take a look inside of an old pc. Every processor (CPU) can give you many tiny nails with round head. It depends on how sharp eyes you have, to work with them... Thx
  23. Thanasis
    Hello. Another source of small nails is an old pc processor... It's surface are covered with pins, which can give you up to 100 "nails" by setting up a small fire in your backyard and take out the last offer of it …. I use these nails as “keys” for my shackles. Just to notice that many of those pins come out with some lead on their head. Just keep them with a tweezers over a lighter's flame… Thanks
