Hello all, just going to start building again finally 🙌. I am retired again lol . Things went well and have paid off my modeling bill. I have enough models for awhile lol there is a long story about my models and it sort of goes like this. I bought a Santa Maria from Amati, from a hobby store in Ontario, paid lots, to much but it was my first and wanted to get a good one, after buying the Santa Maria I join MSW, 2years ago. Then I learned that I could buy right from Amati in Italy at half the price. Well the buying frenzy was on. I order The Pinta and the Nina from Amati for the same price as I payed for the Santa Maria. BUT there is always a but,ups, took so long to get it here I started calling and complaining finally got here. I thought it was a one time thing but no, ordering again Ups misplaced my order and took twice as long as the first time I was not impressed, called Amati and complaining about it again now I was dealing with Emilio Marletti the boss of Amati and was assured that the next order would be different. It was some how it got lost and delivered to someone in a nursing home in Ontario lol. Amati could get no ware with the nursing home because of patient confidentiality stuff so I had to look up the nursing home number and got it straight and the kind fellow that got my package sent it to me .He did not want me to use his name ,so thank you to him. Now Mr Marletti and I had some good conversations about this and half joking I said I should get the Pegasus from Amati for free, he did say sorry for all of this and we left satisfied But they sent me a Pegasus free for all my troubles so a big THANK YOU Amati staff and Emilio Marletti for this. So now I have to finish the Pinta, then the Mayflower and the Viking Long Boat, Nina, all by Amati, and then the sea of Galalie boat. By that time I should be confident enough to make the Pegasus lol. Although I have seen some first time build of the Pegasus that were fantastic. Well thats my story now time to start modeling again sorry for the long winded post but much has happened an I am so excited to be able to be part of MSW . Thanks again Emilio Marletti and Amati staff , and for to be able to use MSW to learn how to build ships, a member for life 😀 😄
