  12. Dear Bob, thanks so much for your kind comments! it's been a pleasure working on this beautiful ship.

  13. Dear Dave, thank you for your nice words! I have decided to build Amerigo Vespucci by Mantua, next. Thanks again and take care, Dimitris
  14. Good morning Lawrence, it's always nice to have people helping you with a build . I'm not planning to add sails , because i feel that adding sails hides a big part of the details of the construction. As far as the next project is concerned i'm considering a ship which i really like , Amerigo Vespucci by Mantua. Thanks for your encouragement and kind reply. Take care, Dimitris
