Tagliata... la lunghezza, senza il bompresso è di 500mm ...) devo fare i calcoli di che diametro sarànno gli alberi e il bompresso.
Prima o poi vedrò di stabilirne anche la scala... ma c'è tempo prima di arrivare agli alberi

Cut... the length, without the bowsprit is 500mm...) I have to calculate what diameter the masts and bowsprit will be.
Sooner or later I'll try to establish the scale too... but there's time before we get to the masts

I see you may be in for a discussion of not having a GREEN cutting mat for your workbench.
 
The figurehead has arrived... A bull? ( in italian Toro in English Bull ) ? here's why: the rampant bull is the symbol of Turin, my hometown, and PARLAPA is a dialect term.
A bit of history... many, many centuries ago the Celts lived in Piedmont, in particular the Tauri tribe. When the superior power of the Roman army had the upper hand, a large settlement was built which took the name of Augusta Taurinorum.
With the fall of the Roman Empire the settlement became a city... which took the name of Turin... What remained of the Romans was the urbanization with streets perpendicular to each other and indeed the name.
