I see that the more experienced forum members sign their posts with their real names and not their nicknames.
I don't want to appear rude, especially since Ismaele could actually be my real name... instead, it simply comes from the fact that Moby-Dick is by far my favorite book ever!
My real name is Enea, which is quite unusual even in Italian.

I've started assembling the second set of cannons, and at this point I've decided to move forward and complete the four sets of cannons and carronades.
My reasoning is this: the work itself is rather tedious, but it has to be done anyway, and I might as well take advantage of the improvement in skills that inevitably comes from repetitiveness. When the time comes to install the cannons on the decks, I'll have an advantage in having them already ready, and I'll be able to quickly focus on the other parts of the model.
I think it will take me a month or so and then I will show you a sample of each model.
