good evening everyone the safety nets are now in the process of being made up, i made a rough template in card, then bent some 0.6mm wire round the shape and fixed the net to the wire. Sprayed with black primer and fitted to the lines, i think the scale is to small, but better than my alternative, looking at these photos i may just take it off and use a thinner thread

good evening everyone its fine ripping old builds up and restarting, BUT you need to put everything back i have known for weeks/months that i had a problem with the foremast, i never put in any of the sub decks which helps line the mast up, to stop it falling off the keel this late in the build i had no option but to eventually resolve the issue i remeasured the mast and saw that it is a few mm to long, so i cut a slot in the base, and it works, the mast is now in place and permanently fixed spent the rest of the day tidying up the bowsprit rigging this should be completed over the weekend

the advantage of planking it would be if you decided to light section up

lol sometimes i wonder if i have ever learnt anything in model boat building yes i have only built kits, and as a result i used in most cases what is supplied, but today i noticed that with the revised build details the call out for the Amerigo is 16 sizes of rope, 8 cordage and the same in steel, but what i didnt know was that even the shrouds are different diameters

Thank you, the trolling im over that, but recent discussions in my household, all three of us, and one of them is the dog, have agreed that the Amerigo needs to be completed, with or without sails
