photo potch is not paint. It is a glue to transfer the writing from paper to wood in the photo it looks like paint but it is a kind of glueLooking absolutely great, Losto! What exactly 'Photo potch' does? Is it acted as a sealant? I am asking because it looks like you still use varnish. What kind of varnish it is?
Hallo @IostoHello everybody
I decided to take a break for the construction of the Enterprize, a very complex job, due to the shorter time I have in this period.
At this time I decided to make a simpler model that I have wanted to build for years.
A typical boat of the Mediterranean, the schifetto carlofortino, a gozzo that has the characteristic of having the sides with curved rowlocks.
Originally these boats were used for coral fishing or fishing for fish and lobsters, or other transport for trade along the Mediterranean coasts.
Those for trade were larger in size, even at 18 meters.
Now many have been rebuilt for lateen sailing sport regattas, making them very beautiful with the use of precious woods such as teak, iroko and mahogany.
The Schifetto is almost done, I got the hull painting wrong and I have to do it again.Hallo @Iosto
We wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
How is your work on the Schifetto going? Any progress to show?
Or you are back on your Enterprise? Both models are really worth to work on.....
Enterprize CAF Model improvement of the kit with complete interiors [COMPLETED BUILD]

To create the interior, I took a cue from the designs of Pandora and the Shipyard project. The undertaking is not an easy one and surely there will...shipsofscale.com
Hallo @IostoThe Schifetto is almost done, I got the hull painting wrong and I have to do it again.
The engine is missing to be painted. I will publish the photos shortly. I resumed the feat, I have almost finished the upper bow deck. I will update the photos shortly.
Thanks again

hi, great job of finishing and cleaning, CongratulationsDeck deck I used IROKO wood Very fibrous a little difficult to work with small thin pieces, but I wanted to have a color more like the real wood of the original bridge. To decrease the porosity I used a glue to transfer POTCH images. Applied then smoothed and re-applied, then I passed the wax.View attachment 196831View attachment 196832View attachment 196833View attachment 196834View attachment 196835View attachment 196836View attachment 196838View attachment 196839View attachment 196840
