Next up, the Harbor Tug boat Anteo, Panart product, circa 1920 to 1940. Anybody read Italian? I've gone through the instruction book and it looks like it's gonna be a challenge.

Few suggestions:
- you can scan and make digital copies then Google Translate will do the machining translation (not bad)
- use your phone's Google translate, point the camera on the text and it will translate for you like they say, automagically.
I can help you to translate only a few words in Italian: Buonjorno (Greetings), and Chao (Goodbye), or one more Grazie (Thank you)

Well I really suck at making builders logs. I get going on a model and forget to take and post pictures. All I have now is the finished product. Wish I could do better, but here it is. Only have just a little touch up to do. Anyway, looking to try to make it sea worthy and complete the RC portion. Can't find any pulleys for the motor. Anyone have any ideas? The plans call for a pulley and band, but wasn't included in the kit.
Some different angles
I can identify. I recognize the benefits of photos for the modeler and for others, but, for me, model making and photography feel like two separate activities. Taking pictures spoils the flow of the model making. By the way, that's a lovely model. One observation: I would try to oxidize or otherwise dull the shiny copper.
As far as rigging the boat for RC, she would look fine on the pond. Try posting some photos of the interior and see if anyone on the forum can provide guidance.
Fair winds!
