maurino Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted September 22, 2014 i Mauro I am sure there are maritime museums in Genova But there is a small museum in Camogli which has models and documents which may be of help to you Regards Ken Hi ken, there is a museum in Genoa Galata, I also know the museum of Camogli, but in Italy it is not easy to get help or documentation museums. Only a few "friends" are able to get access to archival materials. The model ship is not considered a means of spreading the culture of the sea, rather it is considered as a game for adults I was a little child.

Omega1234 Posted October 4, 2014 Share #14 Posted October 4, 2014 Hi Mauro This is the first chance I've had to revisit your log since your first post, but I'm really impressed with how far you've come with it. Looks like she will have a very shapely hull. Looking forward to following along. All the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega1234 Posted October 23, 2014 Share #20 Posted October 23, 2014 Hi Maurino. Nice planking so far. Will you be putting a second layer of planking on, or will the first layer suffice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurino Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share #21 Posted October 24, 2014 Hi Maurino. Nice planking so far. Will you be putting a second layer of planking on, or will the first layer suffice? After you have completed the first planking I'll lay a second layer thinner, probably oak. Mauro Omega1234 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurino Posted November 1, 2014 Author Share #22 Posted November 1, 2014 I shaped the sides of the bow of obtaining the groove typical of hearses, which facilitates the loading of goods. Furthermore'm reinforcing the inside of the sides with strips placed vertically which will then be covered by strips thinner, clearly horizontally placed.Mauro cog, Mfelinger, tarbrush and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maurino Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share #27 Posted November 10, 2014 Hey Mauro, very nice ship you are building here! I suppose you do have some plans for this ship, to make her. Are these plans for sale via stores on the internet? Hi Hans, the plans do not exist on the market, I used those developed by a talented naval model maker who began building a few years ago the same model. I do not know if he has completed the construction, I hope to do it ........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maurino Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share #28 Posted November 10, 2014 Very nice Mauro, I like the color of the walnut decking.
