Nicely done Mauro.  As for the crew maybe they are taking a break.  A little drink to cool things off.

Hi Mauro. She's a real beauty! Looks the part and really nice and clourful. Well done.

 

Are you planning your next model? If so, are you able to say what it is yet?

 

Hi, I'm currently building the H.M.S.Beagle, but it is my custom to do at least 2 models at the same time and I'm still choosing which build another ship.

Congrats Mauro,

 

you have produced a very nice looking schooner, I always admire your skill in handsewing the sails (beautiful sails !), also the differnt Color of the sails, due to their wear in duty time. The Crew is probably just having their midday break. I love models under sail, it`s like the Sauce to the meat

What are you planing next Mauro, and to share with us ?

Hi Nils, we Italians are very good in the work of haute couture (Armani, Trussardi, Versace ......), I also work with me in the hollow needle and thread !!! The crew is too static, but at this scale I have not found anything better. Currently I'm building the Beagle and I'm looking for a new model to be assembled at the same time, but are still undecided .....

Ciao Mauro

  I like your model very much.  The rigging looks very good, including the beautiful knots for the ratlines on the shrouds.  I have one question, I hope you don't mind.  There is the main sheet block rigged to the horse on the transom, but there is also another block rigged to the same horse.  What is the second line?

 

Again, very well done model, thank you for sharing.

Hi Maurino

 

I just found your great build log on your fishing schooner, I have been so very much tied up in my own little corner building the HMS Victory that I have misted yours and many other builds on the MSW Form, for this I am very sorry as I have misted a lot.of great builds. Your build caught my eye as I will be building a fishing schooner that my Great Grand Father Commanded in the early 1900th, the Annie M. Parker, your build has given me a lot of ideas to think about when I complete HMS Victory around Christmas time take or give a bit. You have built a fine ship with a lot of detail that I love so much, well done,                                              ENJOY.

 

Regards   Lawrence 

Hi Lawrence, thank you for the kind words that you gave to my schooner, makes me glad that my modest model you liked it. I am sure that you will do a great job !!!
