matiz Posted June 10, 2020 #1 Posted June 10, 2020 Hi, I start the construction of a new model, it is the English frigate Euryalus, the scale that I adopt is 1:56, the usual 74 cannons🙂 scrubbyj427, gieb8688, tadheus and 31 others 33 1 Quote
Tony Hunt Posted June 10, 2020 #2 Posted June 10, 2020 Great start - lovely clean detail. Looking forward to more! I assume this the EURYALUS of 1803, a 36 gun frigate? But you haven't finished the beautiful model of the Boudriot 74! Louie da fly and mtaylor 2 Quote
matiz Posted June 10, 2020 Author #3 Posted June 10, 2020 Tanks, Tony....yes, it is the frigate a 36 of 1803, in 2018 I finished the work of the 74 cannons, but with the photos I am still behind🙂 Edwardkenway, Ryland Craze, archjofo and 5 others 8 Quote

allanyed Posted July 24, 2020 #6 Posted July 24, 2020 Matiz, I am very impressed with your start on Euryalus and will follow your build as she is so close to my heart. For many years I have been lucky to be in Milano and Firenze for work several times each year, but of course now that is not possible. If I ever get back to Toscana, I would love to sip a grappa or two with you and discuss this great hobby of ours.

druxey Posted July 1, 2021 #20 Posted July 1, 2021 Nice progress. However, other builders have found that seasonal wood expansion and contraction can distort the hull. This can be prevented by leaving very small gaps between the fillings and frames every few frames rather than packing them all in tightly. mtaylor, Trussben, dvm27 and 2 others 5 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
matiz Posted July 1, 2021 Author #21 Posted July 1, 2021 The wood always moves, due to humidity, temperature, my hull is firmly at the top, med below, to reduce movement, it is better to insert the fillings in winter, or in any case when the wood has more humidity, then the temperature will rise, and the humidity will drop, small gaps will be created, and the hull will have little movement Jorge Diaz O, garyshipwright, Justin P. and 1 other 4 Quote

allanyed Posted July 22, 2021 #25 Posted July 22, 2021 Buona giornata Matiz, She is looking beautiful. I wish I was still traveling to your part of the world as I would love to see your model in person. Alas, since retiring the work trips every two or three months to Toscana (mainly Firenze and San Casciano) have come to an end. Hopefully I will be back in the next few years and we can sip some grappa together in Pisa.

matiz Posted July 22, 2021 Author #26 Posted July 22, 2021 Hello, thank you all and thank you, Allan, I am very happy that you like my model, I know San Casciano well, a friend of mine lives there, and Florence, I worked on it, I hope you can return to Italy, of course you will be mine guest, and then we will drink not only grappa, but also good wine☺️ mtaylor 1 Quote
allanyed Posted July 22, 2021 #27 Posted July 22, 2021 Ciao Matiz If you tell me we are going to drink Brunello de Montalcino and have olive oil from San Casciano or Luca, I will try to get there next week!!! One of my all time favorite restaurants in San Casciano is Ristorante Nello. They had wines in their cellar that were far older than I am, a true step back in time. Surely they are vinegar by now, but it was such a delight to see these old vintages still being cared for. Sorry to go off the ship modeling track but this has brought back many wonderful memories.
