Giacomo, I have seen this before and couldn't find it again. Thanks for the link.
That is one of the most beautiful scratch buildings I've ever seen.

Frank, thanks man.

Hi guys, I've been building this over on Model Shipwrights to add to the curch/monastery build. This is a confiscated/converted Italian fishing vessel turned into a coastal radio patrol craft.
Eventually the build should incorporate [ maybe by 2030 ], the curch/monastery on a small rise, a small village, pier/dock area, a tramp steamer and possibly my A.A. VIIC. Oh yeah I've also got Azimut's Schnell boat I may throw in.
I'll be adding the ARV 60cm searchlight for the top of the wheelhouse. The foward turret will hold a 2cm gun.
The gun placements are not written in stone, but this is the arrangement that I like the best.
Here's what I've got so far......... Build blog is on Model Shipwrights under " Mary Ann progress ".
Thanks - Glenn

Hi Claude, thanks man.
I changed servers so my new e-mail is - [email protected].
Supposedly my old aol account mail is to be fowarded to the new one but so far that hasen't happened, probably why I didn't get your e-mail.
Have you made any more progress on the town and street area ?
I really have to review the past 4 or 5 weeks of postings, I've been in Vermont and Penn. looking at houses.

Kenny thanks, the boat is a 1/33 scale fishing trawler [ circa late 1950s ], by Billing Boats. She's an all woodie job. You can find some 1/35th scale fishing trawlers by Artesiana Latina [ sp ? ] also. They make 3 or 4 types.
I believe Net Merchants carries them. Here in the states your local hobby shop might be able to help ypu out.

Thanks again guys I'm off to the shipyard desk and a few Hineys !!!!
Glenn
