Spero che tutti stiano bene!

In realtà sono in ritardo di circa una settimana e mezzo all'inizio di questa discussione. Che differenza quando acquisti un modello di qualità, mi sto davvero godendo questa build. Ecco alcune immagini dei miei progressi Finora, tutte le critiche costruttive sono più che benvenute.

Sorry I dont understand.

 

[Frank48]

Scusa non capisco.

il modello che stai costruendo è una scatola di montaggio o da progetto, scusami che non scrivo inglese

the model you are building is an assembly or project box, sorry I don't write english

 

[Kurt Konrath]

The tool holder behind ship in photos, it that store bought, or something you designed and made yourself.

OK, translation of first question from Frank48 is: Good evening BLD, I ask, is it from Kit or DIY, Thanks

Second comment is: the model you are building is an assembly or project box, sorry I don't write english

Thats my own design and build.Pretty simple really just 3 seperate blocks of wood glued together and holes done with drill press.

Your Albatros is looking nice!

 

[BLD SHPS]

Your Albatros is looking nice!

thank you

OK, good to know, I have thought of the same thing, just checking if store bought how much and where.

I have the OcCre tool box, but it doesn't have nice holes for drill bits and not enough for tools.

FYI, I just used Goggle Translate and pasted the Itialian text into and got translation back, works both ways.

Your Albatross looks great! I was thinking of that for my next ship, since it is so graceful, but afraid of the difficulty.

Its a bit of a challenge but not super hard, instructions are pretty good.Go for it!

planking done not as good as I had hoped but it will do.I am really enjoying this build and slowly learning what works and what does not.

Have you thought about putting in stealers to fill the gaps between the planks on aft portion of hull?
