Don’t think it’s a problem, you’ll install the real deck on top of it

Those are non standard blocks that’s why you have the parts to make them included in the kit. I decided to make them from scratch, there is a video about that :)

hi...am currently assembling the main mast and seems quite high. instructions say 96.8cm.....can you do me a favor and measure height of your mast from deck to top just to confirm I have it right....thx....tony

Hi Tony I don’t have the model with me anymore. Stick to the plan! A big part of the mast should fit under the deck. The main mast should be around 80cm from the deck

@@Tagliamare thanks....i just noticed now that you didnt wrap the lower main mast with that photo etch plate.....any reason why or just your choice not to include?....thx....tony

Hi Tony, yes the reason is simply that in that period it wasn’t wrapped in that brass sheet! To know more consider watching the whole playlist THE DORADE - Scale 1:20 Amati kzbin.info/aero/PLjLFeG6md-d164FrNlU-ewjz-4whEmpSb

I like oils. Try shellac and then use a four-0 steel wool. You’ll get a surface as smooth as butter

@@Tagliamare I presume four o steel wool is fine steel wool ?

I have found ultra fine steel wire wool on Amazon.

It should specify “0000”

@@Tagliamare understood.

Thank you :D

Excellent work as per usual. Can’t say the background noise chatter adds anything.

Thank you!

No it’s not

Hi! You can find the answer to this questions in this playlist :) kzbin.info/aero/PLjLFeG6md-d2hkyi3uIqJtstDc37w4ecz

Piu che qualche immagine ti servirebbe qualche manuale considerando quanto sono complicate. Nel mio canale puoi trovare un paio di video riguardo le vele. Ti lascio anche qualche manuale utile qui sotto: amzn.to/3AUxJGq - qui puoi trovare informazioni generali su tutti i tipi di vela amzn.to/4dWaNVO - rigging amzn.to/4gm4xrM - vele italiane, potrebbe non essere quello che cerchi ma ti da spunti interessanti - i tomi del 74 cannoni di boudriot relative alle vele - il tomo di Frolich l’arte del modellismo navale

@@Tagliamare ok grazie mille per la risposta

It Is not an expensive kit indeed, I know they made a new version. Did you build it recently?

Hello there! Yes I did paint it check out the full playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLjLFeG6md-d164FrNlU-ewjz-4whEmpSb&si=wjE2oBhAEJYIOWV2

@@Tagliamare just wondering what white paint did you use?…..I am using Tamiya ts 26 pure white……I have used a whole can with about 5 light coats but still not happy with the white I am getting?…….maybe I need to use another can?…..thx….tony

@@tonytodesco3018 that's a good paint. I used a tamiya super fine grey primer and then 3 coats of a white paint i bought from amazon (a cheaper one than tamiya)

@@Tagliamare well I'm on my 3rd can and probably about 11 coats....starting to look a lot better. Did you give it a final coat of clear?....thanks

No in the video I didn't but I highly recommend doing it =)

Thank you Tom! The Z refers to the direction the cable is twisted. It can either be S or Z shaped. Most of the ropes of the ship are twisted from right to left (Z), the bigger cables like the the ones that connect the anchors or some stays are S shaped (made from 3 or more standard Z shapes ropes). You can check this by looking at the threads direction of your rope :)

@@Tagliamare Interesting! Before retirement, I dealt with wire rope a lot, anywhere from 5/8” to 2” in diameter in the railroad mechanical department. Much like the ropes you make, wire rope is comprised of wires twisted into strands, and strands twisted into rope, or cable as some refer to it. If the wires in the strands run in the opposite direction from the winding of the strands into the rope, it’s called “Regular Lay”. If the wires in the strands and the winding of the strands into the rope are both in the same direction, it’s called “Lang Lay”. I’m guessing this is similar to the “S” or “Z” that you’re talking about?

@@tomt9543 Not really the same because you can have right regular lays (Z) or left regular lays (S), and right lang lays (Z) or Left lang lays (S). In the modeling community they always refer to them as Z or S. Maybe because it's easier to have a visuale reference.

@@Tagliamare Right. The same with wire rope. Regular or lang can be left or right. You’re getting me very interested in this ship modeling thing!

Thanks!

Tom, I had about the same comments. First, that drill bit itself looks to be running out of true. I also found when I bought my drill press that the chuckand Morse adaptr was junk and replaced with a JET brand. I just sold that drill press after about 20 years ownership (moved to a duplex with no room for a decent shop) but did a check for the new owner - still well within a couple thousandths. Also, the quill may be bent or have a worn bearing or sleeve, i.e worn out.

It's also possible that the bit has become bent in some manner. It may be rolled on a smooth surface like a table or countertop and see if you sense anything is off with how true the bit is.

I don’t know. I read some of these ships were sold to East Germany around the ‘70s (but not the Halny I think). I can ask to the guy who built it

Thanks! Would it be obvious to say it is mine too? Eheh

@@Tagliamare Safe bet! As an aside, we went to our favorite Italian restaurant last night here in Connecticut where I had a luxurious plate of cacio e pepe. It’s as close as I’ll get to Italy this year. LOL Best to you.

Yes it’s a small closet ahah

@@Tagliamare I must also admit to being lax with my boat building. I have mostly been looking after my Italian San Marzano tomatoes in the glass house. Makes fantastic soup for eating in the long dark nights of winter.

Thanks! I used oil too to finish

This is exactly what I do :) check out the Fifie playlist

Wow that’s great! You can find the link in the description :)

Thank you :)

@@Tagliamare thank you the time and effort you put into this project. This is what I needed for my matchstick boat.

That’s correct :)

Hi thanks! It’s not oil, it’s shellac

@@Tagliamare Thanks

Hi Alberto. If you want an average finished product with no expectations that makes cables better than the commercial ones, then yes. The biggest problem with it is tension, I sold mine and I decided to make one.

@@Tagliamare thank you!!

The machine I purchased is the pl4 with a central thread, I hope it improves tension management, will let you now the results

A core thread I ment

Once you made your first rope you can have a look at my video where I show the ropes made with my home made machine and check the differences. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks again for the feedback! Noted 😍

@@Tagliamare :D

Nice model to investigate!! Thanks for the feedback

@@Tagliamare :D

Hi there! No I did not abandon it. I actually went forward but did not make an update video yet. I thought people were not much interested in it so I did not spend time into editing and stuff

@@Tagliamare oh, I am interested very much and perhaps others too. Although, it is very demanding and only few try, let alone finish such a ship. They are beautiful… 👍😊

Thank you so much for the feedback! I will make an update on that then =D

@@Tagliamare Hi Tagliamare, I certainly do not want you spending time on videos you do not deem very popular. But very kind of you. Last April I missed the Arsenal Models Exhibition in Firenze. I was only 120km away, but with dog and family…😉 Also, I was not sire f it is open to public. Is there somewhere a site - especially for Italy - for such models? Had I habe more time I would perhaps be able to go there. I would love to see those beauties „in natural“. Take care, Robert

@robertsuffak813 Hi Robert! That’s a pity! It was certainly open to public. Yes in Italy there are hundreds of museum ( here a central national museum doesn’t exist, but basically every city has one). I think the best one you can find arsenal models is Venice arsenal museum! Thanks Carlo

Like any other store, physical or digital
