Hi I will be posting shots from the construction of the Duilio. Its a mixed media scratch built wood brass plastic and metal castings of repetitive parts

This project was more of a restoration rather than a full build but It had so many missing parts and those remaining needed upgrading

I got a fantastic set of scale plans in some 29 sheets at 1/100

WOW - very good metal works showing the details - great to see

I am looking forward your next progress photos

BTW: you can easily show the photos in "full size"- modus
 
I like the method of beveling planks! If you have a lathe, it is a good idea! I learn every day something new! :) The control cabin alone with brass turning parts is looking great!
