    Complimenti Pino,
    per uno che ci ha vissuto per anni sull’ Explora è stato emozionante vederla riprodotta così fedelmente con la carta.
    Proprio in questi giorni ho rivissuto il ricordo del crollo del Muro di Berlino mentre allora ero sull’ Explora in Antartide.
    Hai fatto un gran bel lavoro, particolari, proporzioni,colori…
    Ciao e a presto, Paolo

    Dieses Modell hat mich derart fasziniert das ich es auf M 1:100 vergrößert habe. Nun baue ich es aus Polystyrol und Holz schwimmfähig und mit RC Steuerung. Herzlichen Dank für diese wirklich tolle Vorlage.

    Questo modello mi ha affascinato tanto da averlo aumentato a M 1: 100. Ora lo costruisco da polistirolo e legno galleggiante e con controllo RC. Grazie mille per questo modello davvero eccezionale.

    This model has fascinated me so much that I have increased it to M 1: 100. Now I build it from polystyrene and wood floatable and with RC control. Thank you very much for this really great template.

    Thankyou so much! The paper construction with the threesided tubes look very interesting and I look forward to trying it. The instruction is also very clear and it all looks as if the building of your model will give quite a lot of pleasure.
    With the best wishes from Sweden
