Fantastic Marco! Treat yourself sometime when you take a break. Look at your first ships you built and posted on this site from a couple years ago. You have become a ship master!

Hello Marco,
The hull looks good. The Italian Navy should be proud of you.
Note: I took a "Google Maps Drive" around Cremona, to see what it looks like.
The day Google took their pictures, the Po River was flooding. I was impressed.
Are you ever affected by flooding from the PO?

Hello Ted, thanks for the compliments but they are undeserved ... Looking down the final result of the hull I am appalled and decided to remake it again ... Too many inaccuracies that I could accept at the beginning but not now.

I started to build the first superstructure with all the doors and windows in relief.

looking good Marco.

Thanks David!

finally after a long break due to work commitments I could redo the ship's hull. I'm still not 100% happy but this new version is more precise than the previous one and has fewer imperfections.

The new hull is the one that has the superstructure positioned on the bridge

Looks pretty good, I see where there are changes. sometimes it takes me 2-4 tries at a hull that has complex curves and rounded aft hulls. The bridge structure looks awesome.

[marco1971]

Ted yes, the changes mainly concern the stern of the ship although some imperfections are along the sides of the hull. I hope not to make further changes but the part that falls within of the superstructure had the classic form in waves so I remade, now I'm almost satisfied of the hull obtained in this way.
