  6. Hello shipmates, a little extra work, not part of the instructions regarding the stanchions and handrails. I used walnut strips 2mm X 2mm to simulate wooden stanchions that I saw in other build logs of the Vespucci. Kind Regards Dimitris

  13. Hello shipmates, regarding the deck extensions I found this explanation. The 4 balconies on the deck are used from the captain to execute maneuvers when the ship leaves or coming to the port. Also the 4 balconies have gyro compass or magnetic compass depending on the season. They were also used for observation from the officers watching out for other ships or floating objects. Kind Regards Dimitris
  14. Yes, I think you are right about those... Amerigo Vespucci-- Sail out Antwerp 1993 Cheers Dimitris
  15. Hello shipmates, Elia-Igor-Patrick, I do thank you for your nice comments and also for the likes. Regarding your question about the white boxes and the deck extensions.... After doing some research on the web ( it is not mention in the manual) I find out.. absolutely nothing!! I believe you are right about the white boxes. I think that the deck extensions are some kind of observation points.Let me get back on this after doing some more research!! :) Kind Regards Dimitris
