Nice work on a very small scratchbuild - that concept looks like a suicidemission to me :-)

Ciao Ripley,

I really like your "work". Italian small vessels are always very nicely designed, and so is yours. Maybe you want to try an MAS 500 next ?
Btw, where did you find the plans for the "barchini" ?

Salute


Frank

Hi to all.
Geronimo:
perhaps if a day i'll be very, but very able in scatchbuiding i'll try to build a Mas 500.
I just have the plans, but i need more and more experience.

The Grillo that I'm studying is a little step forward that aim. A day....

For the plans of the M.T.M. there are two main book (in Italian):
- I mezzi d'assalto della X flottiglia Mas (X Mas assult vessels).
- MAS e mezzi d'assalto di superficie (MAS and surface assault vessels) from the Italian Navy Historic Office.


I have both, so if you need some info, please write me an e-mail.

Bye!

Ripley,

Thanks for the offer; I'll come back to that. Don't worry about scratchbuilding - it's even worse than it looks like :-)
I notice that every time I work on my S-30's bow section. I don't know the right word for it ... nervous breakdown ?

Have a nice day

Good Grief Ripley! That's tiny!

Are you sure you don't have elven shipwrights in your employ?

Excellent work, I'm impressed!
