giampieroricci Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share #121 Posted December 30, 2014 before continuing with the construction of the interior I thought it would be better to complete the planking of the hull of the starboard side: the side of the left will leave in carpentry. I drew with a pencil the locations of the strakes I started the laying of the first strips Trussben, gieb8688, tadheus and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaekon Lee Posted December 31, 2014 Share #122 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi, Giampieroricci. I just find your fantastic building log today. You are so skillful and seem to know everything of model ship building. I can get lots of tips with your log. Please look at my building log and give some advice. Thank you again.

AnobiumPunctatum Posted December 31, 2014 Share #123 Posted December 31, 2014 Hi Giampieroricci, I've take the time to look through your complete build log. It's a real interesting log and a nice representation of the "French shool of shipmodelling". I'll follow your log next year with great interest Quote Regards Christian Current build: HM Cutter Alert, 1777; HM Sloop Fly, 1776 - 1/36 On the drawing board: English Ship Sloops Fly, 1776, Comet, 1783 and Aetna, 1776; Naval Cutter Alert, 1777 Paused: HMS Triton, 1771 - 1/48 "Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it."

druxey Posted January 18, 2015 Share #132 Posted January 18, 2015 I've just found your log, Giampiero. That is terrific work, especially the tricky job of matching the run of strakes above and below the waterline. Very, very nice!

giampieroricci Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share #144 Posted February 24, 2015 I finally finished the long process of nailing the last strakes, and having finely sanded the entire surface of the hull with sandpaper gradually more and more fine (220, 400, 600), here is how it looks: Ponto, mtaylor, druxey and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giampieroricci Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share #145 Posted February 24, 2015 I started the construction of the dolphins bow; For these details, very mangy and difficult to achieve, I chose boxwood. They are made in two pieces joined to scull. After the first attempts, miserably failed trying to figure out how and where to make that scull, I think I've reached a good compromise: I preferred to keep me abundant at the beginning and gradually refine until the right size; Bonding: after a first roughing tests positioning: popash42, Archi, mtaylor and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
