Don Jane got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Xebec by Don Jane - FINISHED - Amati - Scale 1:60
This is not really a build log as I have my Xebec completed waiting for its display case. These pics are pretty much the completed model !

Don Jane got a reaction from EricWilliamMarshall in Amerigo Vespucci by Don Jane - Mantua - Scale 1:100
Here is my Log for my Amerigo Vespucci - So far I have the super structure done and I'm ready to finish putting the decks on, and to fill in time as I wait for glue to dry, I am starting to build the Life Boats - this is quite small and challenging but fun to do - there are 11 of these small boats so there is lots to do . I have one small issue with the decks - The lower deck is a different shade than the 2 upper decks, as you can see in the photo - does anyone have any ideas as to how how I can get both decks the same shade - I dont want too use a dark stain as I like the look of a lighter color on this ship !

Great job on your model - I am currently working on this same model - my kit came with prefinished decks - the upper and lower decks are a different shade - does anyone have any ideas how I can get the decks the same colour !!!!

Glad I found your post - I am getting ready to start construction on my Amati Xebec. Of course, there are very few English instructions - does anyone one know if there are English instructions available ! Also, there are no templates for the sail layouts.
Can anyone help me ?
Thank you
Don

Very nice build - a very classy older warship
I will be staring to build my Amati Xebec in the next few months - I still have a lot left too do on my Occre Riverboat, but ,I am wondering if there are any English construction plans available and also, templates for the sail planfor the Xebec
Thank you
Don

Hi Lawrence
I have already started on my next build - I inherited a Billings Bluenose ( check my build log )that was partly done and I am working on the Gorch Foch by OcCre . I'm really enjoying the OcCre kit - it has great parts and very nice intructions.

Hi Lawrence
Thank you very much for the kind words about my build - my Bounty is far from museum quality but it being my first ship model I am very satisfied. I don't know what type of cement that they used to glue the plexyglass, but the front, top and back are all one piece and are bent to shape and the ends are glued on. I will try to find out what cement they used to glue the case. I live in a condo and the executive have asked me if I would put my Bounty on display in the lobby of our building - it will be going on display this weekend !!!
