Model boat: modeler of the sailing.
Amerigo Vespucci.
GIANCARLO GAMBATO, Venice 1934.
Married, three children, worker at the port of Venice, has always dedicated most of his free time to the hobby of air and ship model constructions, repairing for third parties and building many models with lots of patience and passion.
A man with fantasy and geniality, expressed not only through his models but also by realizing the first drying rack on the wall and the conversion of camper for a prestigious brand.
The static model boat antique lovers is considered more an art than a hobby, because without a real artistic sensibility is hardly possible to achieve satisfactory results. In particular requires an absolute mastery of techniques and materials used, an almost obsessive search for the original sources, documents, iconographic studies, treatises on naval architecture, a good knowledge of maritime history and to end long-running.
Perhaps less poetic, but generally the simplest, is the construction of models of modern boats. The subjects are often warships, especially the second world war, or merchant ships. In this case the execution normally part of a box assembly and the material used is plastic. Less frequently, the construction of static models of boats and sailing boats: these models are often made so that they can really sail, ships models is referred to as dynamic.
