    Thank you very much mate for your kind compliments!! :D
     
    And some more photos... Unfortunately the rigging thread  i use (caldercraft's black  thread 0,75mm) that i have is finished. The thick rope that the kit include is natural color which is no comfortable to use.. Cornwall models is out of stock for now ...   So i have to wait for a while!!!

    Hello to all!!
    At last, Amerigo Vespucci has arrived! This is my second ship build.
    First impressions: wood quality is better than that of my previous build and the manual, consists of 9 large sheets with general instructions (compared to the step by step manual of the previous build).
    Attached you may find photos from unpacking the kit and first dry fit.
    And now comes my first question:
    Starting from the bottom of the keel, at which distance should I carve the rabbet  line?
     
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Some progress to the build. The deck and hull planking are finished. The next step is to fill some gaps on the hull with some filler , sanding and cover it up with fiber glass.

    Good morning , a little bit of progress...
    The main deck it's in place with a wall that supports some superstructure.
    Also the support pieces on the stern for the hull planking is ready.
    I have started to glue the walnut strips to the main deck.
    I will be grateful for any comments and suggestions...
     
    Cheers
