alex791 Posted Monday at 09:14 PM #1 Posted Monday at 09:14 PM (edited) Hello everyone, My name is Alessandro and I am writing from the port city of Livorno, Italy. I have been building ship model kits for almost 40 years, mainly plastic and resin in 1/350 scale (some recently completed models are published in the gallery), but the HMS Indefatigable is my first serious work with a wooden ship model. Although aware of the intrinsic complexity of the model in question, the passion for two-decker ship of the lines and frigates pushed me to attempt the construction of a subject that in my opinion combines characteristics of both categories of vessels. I started building this model in February 2024, to date I have finished laying the external planking and will soon move on to building the interiors. I have made some changes to the original model as illustrated in the images that will follow. I hope my work will be of interest to you. Greetings!
