Baker Posted January 1, 2022 #151 Posted January 1, 2022 Very nice work Rodolfo We can always say that the crew is busy repainting and cleaning up the ship where it is needed. But as I keep telling to the admiral at home: I only have two hands and can't paint and repair everything at the same time 😉 Quote Regards, Patrick Finished : Soleil Royal Heller 1/100 Wasa Billing Boats Bounty Revell 1/110 plastic (semi scratch) Pelican / Golden Hind 1/45 scratch Current build : Mary Rose 1/50 scratch große-jacht / Yacht D'Oro 1/50 Corel Gallery : Revell Bounty Pelican/Golden hind 1/45 scratch Shore leave, non ship models build logs : ADGZ M35 funkwagen 1/72 Einhets Pkw.

Rodolfo Bigoni Posted January 6, 2022 Author #152 Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) Thanks Steven for your considerations! Hi Patrick, speaking of admirals in the house, I'm beginning to think I'm going to be a lazy, unwilling sailor.......😉 Dear shipmates, the last detail has also been fixed and the Coca is finally completed. The yard has been active for two years and three months, so much time is also due to the many changes made to the manufacturer's instructions. It was a very exciting journey that forced me and allowed me to learn a lot of new things of a super fascinating, diversified and complex world. I want to express my feelings of deep gratitude to those who have accompanied me on this journey, and everyone who took a look at this build, helping me with their considerations, advice and comments to build a better model than I would have done alone. I wanted to take the pictures in the morning with the sun shining, but here in the foggy Ferrara I think I would have had to wait for a very long time, so I set up the autarchic micro photo set and did my best to present the final summary of the work. Here are some images for a general view: Amidship: Next: the bow... Edited January 7, 2022 by Rodolfo Bigoni more pictures Louie da fly, Wintergreen, Knocklouder and 2 others 2 3 Quote

Rodolfo Bigoni Posted August 30 Author #162 Posted August 30 Very Dear friends, after a few years I have discovered I made a mistake in the construction of the cathead: the cable starts from it, goes to the anchor and comes back inside the ship's bulwark. It is also a logical path, requiring less effort to set the anchor: The picture shows the model of Martinez-Hidalgo's Santa Maria which is in the Maritime Museum in Barcelona and is taken from “THE SHIPS OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS” by Xavier Pastor. Now I really don't feel like modifying the structure (although it doesn't seem difficult), but I thought I should communicate this so that those who are building similar models don't fall into my mistake. Greeting to all, I continue to look at your valuable works, but for now I remain “railway”! Doreltomin, Baker and GrandpaPhil 3 Quote
Louie da fly Posted September 2 #163 Posted September 2 (edited) Thanks for the information, Rodolfo. Valuable for us who are interested in carracks, and making models of them. What scale is your railway? You might like to post photos of it in the "Non-Ship categorised builds" section of MSW> I'm sure there would be quite a few people interested in seeing them!

Rodolfo Bigoni Posted September 4 Author #164 Posted September 4 Many thanks, Steven. The scale of the railway coach is H0 (1/87) You're right, I could put up these pictures in the "Non-Ship categorised builds...after sixty-five years I've tons of material... Quote
Louie da fly Posted September 5 #165 Posted September 5 Nice. I used to do model railways in a small way when I was a teenager - got partway through building a local West Australian tank locomotive out of tinplate (it would have been OO scale but HO gauge, corresponding approximately to the 3 foot 6 inch gauge that West Australia had at the time. But my skills weren't up to the job, unfortunately. And I had no idea how to make the chassis, add the wheels, motor etc. A pity. I enjoyed the process, though. Yes, I think it would be good for you to put those things up in "Non-Ship categorised builds" - I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one interested.

Louie da fly Posted September 5 #167 Posted September 5 Johnny, It's generally thought the original 15th century model this model is based upon was made far too short and tubby compared with the real thing. It's a votive model - given to a church, usually by a seaman grateful for being saved at sea. Steven Quote It's not really a ship model unless you've bled on it.

Rodolfo Bigoni Posted September 8 Author #169 Posted September 8 Thank you Steven, Johnny and Bob, For Steven: maybe starting right away with a locomotive as the first model was a challenging choice, a wagon or a railway carriage would have been easier to start with. I will now follow your advice to post some photos in the “Non-shipbuilding” section of MSW; this is an anticipation: A fond farewell to all of you ship modelers, I hope to return soon with a new shipyard!

But I was young and no challenge seemed to be too much. I may have learned a bit of wisdom since, but I try to keep the attitude I had back then. What nationality is the locomotive in the picture?

Rodolfo Bigoni Posted September 15 Author #171 Posted September 15 (edited) Hi Steven, In my experience,, building railcar is more easy than building coach that are more easy than building diesel loco that are more easy than building electric that are more easy than building steam...really I began to build a steam one, many years ago but I've yet to solve some problems on chassis and wheels... The locomotive in the picture is Italian (FS = Ferrovie dello Stato = Italian Railways) like the coach. Here you might see the work I made about maintenance and body improvements: https://www.chimicaone.it/le-locomotive-fs-gr-835-nel-modellismo/ and theyr history (unfortunately in Italian): https://www.chimicaone.it/gr-835-la-locomotiva-fs-da-manovra/ Have a nice Sunday!
