Mauro,

 

this Hand sewing of yours is amazing, so accurate and precise every stitch the same distance and the fastening of the bolt rope tops all...

 

Well done !!

Your dory looks like it is double planked. The inner planks in one direction and the outer going vertical.

Hi David, the dory will triple plating, inner and outer horizontal, vertical in the middle to give it more strength. I put 3 layers of planking because I will have to sand the hull to make the harmonious lines.

Hello Bob (sorry if I miss a bit of time out of your yard, it really is very little free time!), The dory measure 9.5 cm (less than 5 m. Reality) ...... do you think are large??

Hi Maurino. Congratulations. What a great job you've done on your fishing schooner. I especially like the atmosphere that the sails have added to your ship. She looks real and it wouldn't take much imagination to sail away in her on a fishing trip. Well done.

 

All the best!

 

Thank you for the compliments, I do not know if I did a good model, I materials come putting all my effort, thanks again !!!
