I'm in the process of constructing the model of the "Amerigo Vespucci" from Mantua Models (second time). I have a couple of questions. This is the second time I'm doing this kit and decided to include the 'sail kit' (kit from Mantua)
on this build. I'm looking for advise on this process. At what point do I add the sails? To the yardarms before attaching to masts? Add sails before I do the standing rigging? I could use some help on this process. I'm just working on the smaller boats and then the masts/yardarms/booms next.
My second question is where can I find small scale model figurines for this ship? I think the right size would be 1". I found some when I did the "Sterling Model ---'American Scout' a few years ago, they were just the right size. Officers in white uniform and seamen and dock workers, all painted. Can anyone recommend where I can find these figurines to compliment my model.
I appreciate any assistance from anyone.
