    Amerigo Vespucci by Dimitris71 - Mantua - 1:100 scale

    Hi Dimitris

     

    It is always fun to watch the rigging come together, I believe the word that you are looking for is the Stays. They sure do make a sailing ship look a lot more completed just by filling in a bit of space. Looks like you will soon be into the Shrouds and then the Rat Lines with all of those half hitches to tie.   ENJOY.

    Hi Lawrence, thank you for the nice comments and for the help  ...... :) Merry Christmas my friend!! :D

    Hello Dimitris, 

     

    it can not believe how fast your Amerigo grows. Do you have more than 24 hours per day??? And no matter how well I look, I could not find a piece that is not build clean. 

     

    I already say this, but I have to repeat it: it´s so much fun to watch your progress. A beautiful model of a beautiful ship!

     

    Merry Christmas to you!!!

    Hi Dimitris

     

    I am very sorry for not being on the MSW Form very much at all this last couple of months. I have been so busy with house hold chores that seam to be never ending, but the end is in sight. I will begin to try and saw some wood for the hull and framing for my Admirals  African Queen, a little ship that she has always loved , after the movie that is.

     

    Great job you are doing on your Amerigo Vespucci, I just love your Radar mast and platform railings among all of that very fine detail that you have added since my last visit to your log, WELL DONE.

     

    I take this time to wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and an even better and Happier New Year to come.                      ENJOY.

     

    Regards   Lawrence
