giampieroricci Posted May 18, 2020 Share #1 Posted May 18, 2020 I started my new project, a little ambitious, on an almost impossible scale: I always admired extremely small models, always convinced that it would have been an impossible job for me. It's a challenge against myself! Obviously I started from the keel and it is already difficult to be able to keep the straight line.

giampieroricci Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted May 18, 2020 One of the advantages of this scale is that you can use all the wood waste from previous jobs! Peter Bloemendaal, tadheus, garyshipwright and 27 others 29 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvm27 Posted May 18, 2020 Share #4 Posted May 18, 2020 Love it!

Barbossa Posted May 19, 2020 Share #11 Posted May 19, 2020 Hi Giampiero This is one of my favorite frigates , I'll follow this build with great interest.

druxey Posted May 19, 2020 Share #12 Posted May 19, 2020 Well, I can see how much wood you'll save at that scale - assuming you don't have to re-make too many pieces! Looks like an excellent result so far, Giampiero.

Seahawk1313 Posted May 25, 2020 Share #17 Posted May 25, 2020 Beautiful work, you will have no trouble with this scale, your work is very precise. My ships are all 1/96 scale, a bigger scale and I would need a much bigger house.

the learner Posted June 11, 2020 Share #26 Posted June 11, 2020 Sweet build, you have been a busy boy! The type of wood you are using? looks like Pear wood. You might want to do some inside planking if you are going to keep the framing somewhat open. mtaylor 1 Quote Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
