Gct86 Posted August 31, 2021 Share #1 Posted August 31, 2021 Hello everyone, I'm Giacomo and I writing from Italy. My first model ship was Scotland by Corel, and now I'm bulding Golden Hind by Mamoli to myself (I bought plans). This forum is fantastic and full of master of modellism😍 JeffT, mtaylor, Snug Harbor Johnny and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gct86 Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted August 31, 2021 This ship is almost done. So, I hope start a new build log soon, because the next model will be The Bounty of Amati kit. (I bought a saled kit several years ago) I have to finish Golden Hind, but decorations and wooden Doe sculpture seems to be too difficult for me,but I'll try. Thank you all JeffT, mtaylor and Keith Black 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted August 31, 2021 Share #4 Posted August 31, 2021 Giacomo, even though you're in the latter stages of your Hind build you can start a build log. I'd like to see your progress to the finish.

allanyed Posted September 9, 2021 Share #11 Posted September 9, 2021 Ciao Giacomo, Sono Allan. Welcome aboard!! One small comment..... I THINK the ship's boat is upside down. I do not recall ever seeing one on models from the 17th-18th centuries upside down on contemporary drawings or models. MAYBE they did it the way you have it in the 16th century ??? I love your country having spent many work and holiday trips there over the past 35 years. What city/area are you from?

Gct86 Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted September 14, 2021 Hi Allan, Thank you for your comment. Yes, lifeboat is upside down because I must hide ugly interior construction ahaha. I've read and several modeling veteran (i am an beginner) tell me that life boat can be upside down on model, specially in 16th century ship as long as there is only a single lifeboat. Sorry for my english 😓 I'm from the south of Italy, Lecce, do you know? Keith Black and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allanyed Posted September 14, 2021 Share #13 Posted September 14, 2021 Ciao Giacomo Unfortunately I have not spent any time south of Naples. I worked with a supplier in San Casciano (VP) outside of Firenze and spent a lot of time in Toscana plus a good bit of time in Bologna, Varese and Milano as well. We are HOPEFULLY going to be in Rome and the Amalfi coast next year for holiday and my wife will be in Toscana with two of her friends for 10 days next May, including cooking classes for five or six days. I am anxious to be back in Italy!!! I adore the scenery, the food, and the people in Italy very much. I used to love driving the autostradas when the speed limit was much higher and I was much younger!!!
