    Mouldings mounted and ready to proceed with the coloring. I had to make from scratch the rudder as it went lost years ago when I abandoned the project. Happy with the result so far.
  2. Amedeo Riga
    Coloring the hull in progress….the kit suggests a white color for the bottom part…but I decided to make it black.
  3. Amedeo Riga
    Planking of decks completed. now started with the hull coloring. 1st layer of white done.

    Main mast sail running rigging completed.
  9. Amedeo Riga
    Doing some progress with sails bending , mounting the yards and running riggings. Unfortunately run out of 4mm blocks. Just ordered and waiting for them to arrive. During this fase I learned a lot about sails and for the next project I will have a different approach. I will sew the bolt rope and the clew patches onto the sails, and I will use a different method for the bending.

    Hi Paul …thank you for your message .. yes I m refering how to tie the sails to the yards…many tutorial show using a single ropes and sewing with a needle, but I think this is not the most accurate technic ..right?
  14. Amedeo Riga
    Hello modelers , I was looking for some tips for the ropes to attach the sails to the yards. Interested in learning technics.

    Back to work on my model. Top mast standing rigging started.
  16. Amedeo Riga
    Great model....can i ask you something about this model as i m thinking to start this same project soon. This is the Artesania Latina kit right? there is only 1 planking for the external hull (like in the original bounty) or there is a second planking? thank you
  17. Amedeo Riga

    Other 2 yards completed. Remaining one…
  19. Amedeo Riga
