MICHELE PADOAN Posted September 1, 2022 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2022 Good morning everyone, my name is Michele and I am a vaporetto pilot in Venice by profession. I have been modeling since I was a child. When I was 10 years old I built my first fretwork fort and then moved on to my first assembly boxes. Now it has been 11 years that I have discovered and am fascinated by arsenal modeling. Now I have three construction sites in progress, below I put some photos of my finished works and under construction. bruce d, longshanks, Knocklouder and 20 others 15 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICHELE PADOAN Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) 7 ore fa, Bruce D ha detto: Michele, benvenuto in RSU. Quei modelli sono magnifici e spero che condividerai un registro di costruzione con noi. Sono con tutto ovviamente, ma soprattutto con la tua scultura. Posso chiederti qual è il tuo metodo? Bruce Per pezzi così piccoli, utilizzo delle frese. Scolpisco principalmente su bosso, ma anche pero e redhert, come ho fatto ad esempio per la polena del Vaso Veneziano. Per il Commerce de Marseille, invece, tutti gli intagli sono in osso bovino. Di seguito metto alcuni esempi.
