  1. Beautiful work!!!!! Why you used the iron nails? The iron oxidizes over time.......
  2. I tried an idea to remedy the problem of nailing garlands that does not conform to the drawings of the monograph, which some friends I have pointed out: Then I had a strange idea that in the end I think it has given the desired results: I tried to build the pins with washer using brass wire of 0.6 mm and thin brass sheet from which I got the tiny washers
  3. I have finally taken over the job left unfinished a few months ago. I started the construction of the plateau of the pit of cables. It 'still to fix and finish
  4. thank you, friends, for your appreciation! @Remco: yes, it's just like you said: in this way, I have the necessary space, after having removed the small cardboard, to cut off the head of the nail @uss frolick: for my work I'm using pear wood for carpentry and planking, ebony wood for everything that is black and boxwood for the moldings. Probably I will use maple wood for the planking of the bridge but I'm not sure yet....!
  5. thank you very much, friends!!! I started to prepare the two courses of the battens "of the flowers" of the left side. A work quite long, since I've done all the joints by hand with a sharp knife.
  6. I finally finished the nailing of the courses of the topside and I have built a temporary basis to hold the model out of the yard
  7. small forward: I finished reinforcements in ebony at the bow on the left side and nailing on the starboard side
  8. Meanwhile, I am continuing the bandage left side and riveting to starboard.
  9. I finished the installation of the courses between the doors and started to finish with fine sandpaper to remove the glue residue and the excess of black cardboard. I also finished the edges of the gunboats and scuttles the oars.
