I've been missing something very good, but very good. I don't know what will be in Italy but it is the land of very good modelers. I have been following you for a long time! Your work is excellent, clean and with an enviable precision! Your construction method is absolutely extraordinary! It would be nice one day to be able to see your model live and meet you in person! mtaylor 1

Jaager Posted September 2, 2019 #724 Posted September 2, 2019 I wonder if a tool edge would last longer with frequent stropping using gold or green or even rouge compd. on scrap leather instead of visiting a stone as often to keep it as close to a mono layer as can be had? mtaylor 1 NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

Il est passionnant et donne par cette corvette une belle image de la monographie très précise de Gérard Delacroix . Bravo Giampy et merci pour ce magnifique partage. Jacques.

popash42 Posted November 9, 2021 #739 Posted November 9, 2021 Dear giampieroricci I do not know how to express what I felt in the hours I watched and studied your amazing construction log. The abilities you demonstrate are inspiring and it's just a great pleasure. There is an ancient proverb, "Jealousy of writers, increase wisdom." These are the wishes I hope will exist in me after watching this log, that I will be able to reach the level of abilities and achievements you have reached in this beautiful Corvette. I will continue to follow your work😊
