Hi. I would like to build one of these models and have searched the net looking for suitable plans but to no avail. Where did you source your plans for this mighty looking craft? My wife and I stayed a few days in Venice and I was blown away with the quality of some of these nice crafts and thought then I would like to build a model. Also the details of the stern drive would be appreciated. Cheers and thanks Ian Langley

Ahh, you should have popped into Gilberto Penzo's shop: http://www.veniceboats.com/

 

Some years ago, he published a book about the vaporetti:

 

PENZO, G., Bocchin, A. (2004): Vaporetti - un secolo di trasporto pubblico nella laguna di Venezia.- 255 p., Venezia (Il Leggio Libreria Editrice).

 

I do not own the book (not 'my' time), so I don't know, whether it contains plans. I did not find them quickly on his Web-site, but he used to offer plans separately on his site.

 

Penzo also offers a laser-cut kit: http://www.veniceboats.com/Kit-vaporetto.htm
