Thanks !

This model celebrates the golden age of deep-sea exploration: brass fittings, riveted copper hull, and the quiet thrill of meeting something no one has ever seen before. I wanted to capture that single magical moment every ocean documentary chases: first contact between human curiosity and the intelligence of the deep.

This project was born from a visit to Florence in 2019. When I came to design this MOC, the challenge was clear: how do you honour a landmark of this density and detail at a scale constrained by 5000 pieces? My desire was to capture not just the look of the Ponte Vecchio, but its character. After days of focused building, research, and no small amount of trial and error, the result is a model I am genuinely proud of: a love letter to Florence, built brick by brick.
