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 :)

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?    

 

Ciao

 

Allan

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? :)

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!!!

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
