Thank you Nils for your nice words and also for the likes. I' m thinking of proceeding with the masting and rigging so as to ensure that i will have more space for my big clumsy hands!! :) So after 1 year i managed to get back my olympus from my young brother, and finally manage to take some decent photos as requested... Kind Regards Dimitris

Hello shipmates, many thanks for your encouragement words and also for the likes... Much appreciated!! The work on Amerigo's masts continues .. I decide to rebuild the masts in appropriate length.. So Patrick if you read this.. the hull's length without the bowsprit is 81,7 cm ,with the bowsprit 99,7. I missed 1,3 cm from the real ship and 0.3cm from the kit .. lol (kit specs reports, length 100 cm) .Sorry for my measurement the other day but i was in a hurry... the real ship is 101 meters with the bowsprit. So it was a little odd the tallest mast (by the manual of the kit ) be 540mm from the keel, since the real ship had 54 meters from the waterline. So i rebuild the mast with the 540mm(538,7 mm to be accurate) from the waterline and from the keel about 61 cm. (real ship 62 meters). Here are some photos... Sorry for the poor quality!! At least this time seems to my eyes more in scale. Kind Regards Dimitris

Hello shipmates, I don't want to make you bored regarding the masts (this is the last post about the difficulty to say if this was my mistake or the plans)? So I will post a photo to show you how i read the plans for the masts. Like Greg said ... Brain Freeze.... :) Some fellow modellers on Greece , had the same issues , that the masts against the ship looks small. Kind regards Dimitris

Excellent work on the bowsprit Jeff!! Cheers Dimitris

Hello to all, on my previous post i wrote that i have found a mistake about the masts plans.. Actually i found out last night that it was my mistake and not mantua's .. Let's be honest , my brain stops from time to time :D I think the fellow modellers on the Greek site made the same mistake... Kind Regards Dimitris

Hello mate,the correct heights of the masts are the following: FORE MAST HEIGHT ON SEA LEVEL 50 MT (164 ft), MAIN MAST HEIGHT ON SEA LEVEL 54 MT (177 ft),MIZZEN MAST HEIGHT ON SEA LEVEL 43 MT (141 ft), the problem that i had, was measuring the heights from the keel and not from the waterline... So in 1/100 scale these numbers are Fore mast 50 cm, main mast 54 cm and mizzen mast 43cm. On the other sections of the masts the height is as it should be. I hope it answers your question .. :) Cheers Dimitris
