Leo, nice job. With the flatter bow, it would be a Pen Duick  

Matija

You're right, the kit is not well made with the original boat. I think you have a new plan that is consistent.

Have a nice work.

Matija

Hi,

I am using T-Shirt Transfer Paper. Prints with ink jet printer flag on it, both sides, and with iron I transfer it to the fabric.

Matija

Omega,

only you can make such a model is. I'm impressed, beautiful work.

Matija

Mauro, deck looks nice, which wood you use for it?

Matija

I remember when I was five, 50 years ago, in Povlja, Brač island, I was allowed to go fishing with fishermans on Trabacul. Diesel, but they spreaded sails in deep sea ...

Nenad, these pictures with swimming are maybe at that time. ... for nice memories ..

Matija

these pictures are older

Thanks Row,
I have already seen this video, and I am familiar with the excellent work of Mr. Carlos over the Web and his Facebook pages.

Merry Christmas
 

Matija

Omega,

I admire your courage and perseverance to make this project.
She looks superb and I can not imagine that it is so small, wonderful!
 

Happy Christmas holiday

Matija

 

Hi Nils, my sails are all sewn by hand, do not have a sewing machine ....... and do not know the use !!! The sails may look a little different from each other just because they are hand sewn and the seams, despite the efforts, are slightly different from each other. Once finished the work on the sails hope that a pass with the iron makes them more uniform. Reciprocate the good wishes, I wish you and your family and friends a Merry Christmas !!!

Mauro

 

Respect Mauro,

I know how much effort need to produce sails with a sewing machine   .. but everything manually, great job!

I follow your log with interest and wish you success in your work.

I wish Happy Christmas holiday.

Matija

 

Thanks for your comment Matija.

Sorry, but seeing your drawings in your answer, I thing my English wasn't so clear.

My query is about those two things as are pointed in the below photo.

Many thanks again.

Do not worry Thanasis, I certainly amuse the forum members with his writings because I'm not good with English ...

A beautiful ship, Matija.  You did her well.  I love the details like painting/carving(?) on the tiller.

Thanks Mark, the tiller is carving, but not very well:

Thanks John, grsjax, druxey, Rao  and everyone else for the nice words and likes.

Matija

Thanks to Robin, Thanasis, Nils, Bob and all what you like my favorite model.

Thanasis, you're right it's vertical capstans:

your "τραμπάκουλο" definitely shares the roots with Trabakul and she is nice.

regards, Matija.

Trabakul is one of my first works.
  I have a few pictures of building models and want to share them with you.
 

Trabakul is the name for a traditional sailing ship on the east coast Adriatic sea with two masts. It is a cargo sailing ship.

Trabakul are in use from the 18th to the early 20th century. and later when the sails are being replaced with the engine. Smaller trabakuls long as 14-20 meters capacity of 40-100 tons and larger 30 meters and capacity of 60-200 tons.

These are old pictures of Trabakul  from Croatian Adriatic islands and coastal cities:

Rick,

I'm glad that you like my Bluenose.
