Lancia Assunta by maurino

[maurino]

I want to reproduce the "Assunta" launch of the Adriatic Sea in 1: 24 scale, this is the original boat, launched in 1925.

That looks an interesting rig, Maurino.

Great choice and beautiful boat. I hope you will reproduce that stunning sail.... In 1/24th scale, it should make for a very nice model.

The colorful sails are typical of the Adriatic Sea navy (and make the models very showy .... ) 😀 !!!

Lovely blue color. It reminds me of my incursions to the shores of the Mediterranean sea.

Very well depicted.

Thank you Yves  !!!

I would like to put in my model a couple of sailors, I have some toy soldiers that I can modify even if the scale is not really perfect. The scale of the figurines is 1:36 while the sailing ship is 1:25, the result would be a crew about 1 meter high and 40 ..... I will see the final result and then I will decide whether to use them or not but on board the off-scale is not obvious .

Accomplices a few days of unexpected holidays (but very welcome) the construction site is coming to an end.

Looking at the sail, I am wondering, why you have both ends of the reefing points at the same side of the sail ? Was this indicated so in the kit instructions ? Normally, they would go from one side to another, secured in the middle by a kind of not and or sewn onto the sail on one side.

 

Below is an image of a slightly larger boat type (also with painted sails) from the lagoon in Venice in the Naval Museum there:

Hello Wefalck , unfortunately I do not know the English language, I have to rely on an online translator and this prevents me from fully understanding the technical part of your question. I have no drawings of this boat, I rely on a few photos and on a book that deals with other boats of the Adriatic Sea. Surely there will be errors (and horrors) due to my wrong intuitions, not only for the sailing part, the material in my possession is really very little ....

 ..... more photos of the hull .....

.... and some photos of the large sail.
