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.

Outstanding! Ever thought of building a vaporetto too? 😄

 

I absolutely love Venice and travelling on the waters.

Greetings Michele,

I hope you enjoy the MSW forum.  I agree with everyone else, all of your work is BEAUTIFUL!!!!  Please share your process of building in build logs so others can learn from your incredibly talent.  😃

Best regards from the Outer Banks of North Carolina,

Michele, welcome to MSW. Those models are magnificent and I hope you will share a build log with us.

I am with everything of course but especially your carving. May I ask what is your method?

A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin

current builds:

HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style

Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild 

French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold

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.
