    Time for an update…finished the first of two pair life raft supports, I broke the first one so it’s back to bare metal and starting over. Also, thanks to some ideas from the Admiral, I have completed the first of two canopies for the aft platforms. Slow steady progress.

    New task at hand, working on the 18 life raft containers scattered around the ship. In these photos I have completed the frame of the first pair of rafts.

    Good evening mates, I have finally finished the four platforms that hang off the side of the Amerigo Vespucci. Now on to the next task, I’m thinking the containers for the life rafts.

    Good morning mates, been slowly working on a set of platforms for my AV. Nearly have the second one done, a few touch ups to do then figure out how to manufacture the canopy for this platform. Close…so close to be finished with these.

    Good evening, more progress on some deck equipment. These platforms started from the kit parts, but rapidly moved into scratch built. 🤷‍♂️
  21. DanielD
    Thank you!

    Good evening mates, it’s been awhile since my last post. Been working on the chainplates and temporary shrouds to get an idea where the rest of the deck equipment will need to go as well as equipment that will hang off the sides of the ship.

    Good afternoon mates, it’s been awhile since last update…life has just been busy. Been working (slowly) on a set of stairs leading to above the main bridge. The real Amerigo Vespucci has wooden steps, almost ladder like, with brass handrails and brass stair tread protectors. I’ve attempted to build something similar.

    Good afternoon mates, I had a bit of time in the shipyard today and completed the installation of the last lighting effect, the Amerigo Vespucci traditional in port lighting. The only hard part…finding a location in the house that is dark during the day for the photo.

    Welcome to MSW!

    Good evening mates, finally…I have the fore mast and lighting finished.
  27. DanielD
    Good evening mates, it’s been well over a week since my last update. It’s not because I’ve been lazy, but rather the fore mast has been a bit of a challenge as it has an additional platform with spot lights and railings. Also, it has a radar installation with a wire cage that was a challenge to get to look more like the real AV. Not to mention the marker light at the top of the mast and deck lighting under the platform and all the associated wiring. It’s now ready to primer and paint. Should be another week or so before final installation on ship.

    Good evening mates, just a quick weekend update on the progress of my Amerigo Vespucci. The main mast hardware and paint is complete and installed into the hull for the last time.
  29. DanielD
    Good evening mates, one good thing about making mistakes, we learn from them and the next similar project takes much less time. Here is the main mast with working lights and all ready for paint.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
