Jack As ever your latest update looks brilliant. Incredible design to these ships. I was watching a tv programme a few weeks back and they were showing just how strong these ships were because they were quite flexible rather than very ridgid so could stand the rough seas a lot better. Hope it continues to go well. Happy Modelling

Many thanks to all of you for the positive comments . . Friday, August 19, 2016The basement of the "display case" finished . . now only the plexiglas cover is missing. 01 20160819_143241.jpg  Details of the device for housing the oars, with the grooves to hold them in position at the correct distance. 02 20160819_143253.jpg  03 20160819_143304.jpg  That's all for now. Most probably you will not have further news for some time.The plexiglas cover will be made by a craftsman specialized on this kind of tasks and I have no idea about the time it will take to make it . . Only then I will be able to shot some final images of the entire, finished model. Cheers, Jack.

Tuesday, September 20th, 2016The finished model with the complete display case . . . Now this model can be really considered a closed project. It was a very interesting and valuable experience: the clinker planking, the viking culture and many other things. Enjoy the attached images . . . bye,Jack. 01 20160919_175003.jpg  02 20160919_174931.jpg  03 20160919_174915.jpg  04 20160919_180158.jpg  05 20160919_174840.jpg  06 20160919_174812.jpg  07 20160919_174738.jpg  08 20160919_180251.jpg  09 20160919_180237.jpg  10 20160919_175012-EFFECTS.jpg

On Sunday, October 9th, I'll return in Tuscany for at least three months . . I'm planning to finish the boats of my HMS Guadelupe project and, in addition to start a new local project while I'm staying in Pisa. The idea is always the same: get a kit and work on it, eventually with additions and changes reflecting a more realistic/accurate approach. In this way I don't need to move wood, tools etc. from Milan to Pisa. My initial idea was to build another Viking ship, as I wrote a couple of messages ago, a knarr, that is a transport kind of ship, but I'm thinking that, without oars and shields, its beauty will be greatly hidden, so I'm now considering other options. 1) Build the HMS Victory launch, from Panart. Scale 1:16, very much detailed 2) Build the whaler launch from Panart or Amati. Same as above. 3) Build a Sicilian Leudo, always from Panart. Scale 1:30 but with a good level of detail possibilities. The three models are presented here below in the same order. I've not yet got a final decision, but I'm attracted by the leudo Regards, Jack. jack.aubrey attached the following image(s):
