This was my first hobby, before coaches and carriages.

Hi all friends, thanks for visiting my blog.

Today, contrary to what is usual, I'm going to show my work that I used to do before miniatures of carriages and cars, about 22 years ago I started making ship models, a hobby accessible to anyone with a minimum of skill, patience and good taste.

My last work was the frigate D. Fernando II e Glória, made to scale 1/96, with plans purchased from the Museu de Marinha in Lisbon, this work took about 2 years to complete. Here are some photos from this compilation.

Also my collection of carriages and automobiles will return very soon to the Museu Nacional dos Coches, after the exhibition at the Museu Marquês de Pombal, in Pombal, I'll give you more news soon.
