That is a lovely detail to add to aworking model Danielle.
I read the first four pages trying to work out how your hull had gone from a rounded shape with close pitch ply frames to a squarer bilge with fewer frames and a longer hull before realising that it wasn't Nuova but the thread of another lovely model that you had reopened. What a gorgeous model. I think she is one of the most realistic models I have seen on the water, and if the films were slowed down, people might wonder why you had spent so much time filming the real thing! Only the frequency of the waves makes it obvious that the ship is a model.
Also, I salute your reserves of enthusiasm for making so many crab pots. How did you make them? Wire and Viol netting?
