Hi! I am Carlo (or Tagliamare if you prefer) and I am a shipmodeler. I live in Italy and I build ship models in my little workshop which is always "under construction".
The channel goal is to help beginner ship modellers getting into the world of ship modelling. In this channel I show you how I build my ship models from the keel to the sails, the tools I use the most and some tips and tricks you might need.

This is a pretty nice series, it's just too bad one has to watch it muted due to ever repeating super annoying jingle so it's almost impossible to tolerate it long enough to hear if you actually say anything at any point.
Nice work on the Planking, nicely explained, ive not seen a model before with the thin planking as a first layer, makes life so much easier less hassle to bend. Great video
I love the planking stage of construction and find it very Carthaginian, no that is the wrong word. Cathartic is the correct word. I dread the rigging stage of construction as I have King Charles 111 sausage type fingers.

I just subscribed and nice work on the first layer of planks i am building the same kit also installing the last few planks on the first layer looking forward to the next video
On the other side of the machine you don't need four hooks, one in the middle would suffice perfectly, because on that end, the three or four strands are supposed to come together anyway. Other than that, you built a very fine machine 👌
Very interesting. Your deck looks very realistic. We visited Italy in April, but were unable to get to Florence this time. Best of luck with your beautiful models! Abbiamo viaggiato in Italia ad aprile ma sfortunatamente non siamo riusciti a raggiungere Firenze in questo viaggio. Ti auguro il meglio con i tuoi splendidi modelli!
You videos are very educational, just bought the Essex. Question? when at the rigging stage, how do you know what length to cut the threads to start the rigging. Looking at the instructions, it shows mm but not sure if I should cut longer for tying & cutting. Any info appreciated.
Thank you, appreciate it! You can cut the ropes ones you finished it, no need to take measurements. I am sure you will find some useful information in the playlist below Basics of rigging model ships: tutorials and techniques ru-vid.com/group/PLjLFeG6md-d2H60iOp3HwXxUsrA0gD0wg
@@Tagliamare Not sure what you mean cut the ropes when you finished it, I want to be able to cut the length then have enough to rig it it with a little extra for tying then trimming. Thanks
@@Tagliamare Te digo la verdad en el vídeo parece ser madera mucho mas gruesa pero si con 3 mm de la quilla y la estructura tienes un barco resistente cuando este forrando el casco y la pintura lo va hacer mas resistente
@@Tagliamare Bueno eso creo que varia en cada carco es diferente en el que yo estoy construyendo la cubiera tiene 2 mm! y luego la recubri con laminas 1 mm asi que quedo en 3 mm!! le vas hacer recubrimiento a la cubierta ?
Ciao Compleimenti per i video che fai Bellissimi una domanda perchè al minuto 5:36 hai usato 40di colla e 60di acqua e non hai usato solo colla ? Grazie :-)
Ciao Nicola! Grazie mille, per questo progetto sto cercando di seguire per filo e per segno le istruzioni in modo da testare la bontà del kit. Io penso che il costruttore abbia preso questa decisione perché un collante diluito penetra meglio nell’MDF andando a creare una struttura molto più resistente
Amazing. I know it was speeded up, but it looked like you were enjoying yourself. Did you have to finely trim the deck to fit or did you just cut it out and fitted.?❤
I got into the model ship building hobby just two years ago with the tiny 18ft cutter kit from Vanguard Models. After that, I built the Duchess of Kingston model (I can highly recommend it!) I am sure I would have given up on this hobby without the elaborate manual and plans that come with the kit. Currently I'm building the HMS Indefatigable from Vanguard Models and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, thanks to everything I've learned on these two first kits.
ciao, Super little ship which can be a real little gem, it would tempt me, can't wait for next week for the start of the assembly, you scare me with the xsato 😮in your hand already that you have a doll on the go, thank you for this beautiful discovery.
Regarding the adjustable pin pusher. I bought one and it seems that it is more suitable for thicker pins. I tried it and it bent the very fine pins supplied with my previous Vanguard kit. So I tapped the pins in with a very light hammer. I must treat myself to the finer pin pusher soon.
I personally own the thin pin pusher that is sold by Vanguard Models, and that one worked very well for the small nails that came with the Duchess of Kingston kit from VM.
@@TagliamareI noticed that the clock was made in Italia and was wondering if it was a one off or can we buy one or two? I have nautical instrument (compass or chronometer)looking wrist watch made by the Marloe watch company called a Tay which I wear almost every day.
@@pwsod so, i checked you can find different versione by searching for “manica a vento orologio”. The version you see in the video is a personal thing Oscar had, im not sure you ll find the same one on sale
Thank you for all this information!! Do you use the same plank dimensions as the first layer or do you remeasure certain points to get new plank dimensions for the second layer? Are the seams of the first layer supposed to be staggered in relation to the second layer or does each plank of the second layer sit directly on top of a plank of the first? Does it matter if you start right on top and gradually start covering the seams of the first layer? Is the second layer only adhered on the first layer or also nailed? If nailed do you make sure you nail to the frames by using the nails of the first layer as guides?
Hi there yes in this case I used the same measure for the second planking because I only had those planks. They fit nice, if I remember the one I used are slightly wider than the ones in the kit. Check my video on planking just one layer for a different technique. First layer of PLANKING - HMS BOUNTY: Amati Step By Step Model Ship Build ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X1XbfrjW_E0.html Planks of the second layer do not need to necessarily sit on top of those of the first layer. Second planking is not nailed in this case, that’s why I used the system I show in the video.
Yes it is, I made a specific video about the basics TOP 6 basic RC parts to motorize MODEL SHIPS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3D-ISTafaU0.html
Building a Vanguard model now and it is a joy to construct and the book of instructions is exemplary. Included is detailed written instructions and superb colour photographs and many full scale drawings. I am looking forward to following your build.
I'm a 62 year old man who's been modeling since the age of 6.I've built many different kinds of models but never a wood kit which I am now seriously considering.Please recommend good vids to watch to educate me and tools and supplies needed.Thank you very much!😊
Hi there! I made a specific video about the basic tools for ship modeling here’s the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YRcHjcwdjew.html Have a look at my channel I’m sure you’ll find interesting content :)
