Phoenix - Ex Amerigo Vespucci by Kevin- Panart- 1/84 - restarted June 2020


Recommended Posts

good morning everyone

 

i have spent many hours doing the hull, so decided to take the step and put white primer on, what a difference there are still issues with the hull finish, but they may have to stay now, but compared to where it was last month (well im happy)

 

there are several builds i am following @ken3335 and @schiffebastler here on MSW so i keep looking for bits i can do that are not included in the instructions, which are basically a waste of trees

eyebrows, i first came across these on the Victory build and then realised all ships have them, these will all be yellow ochre, i am at this time not going to contrast everything with bright shiny metal work,

Hi Kevin, She's coming along just fine. I applaud you on the extra detail you are putting in but don't envy you in choosing to do the eyebrows, a lot of extra work there. I don't intend to do them myself as I don't want to get too involved in scale accuracy, I think that there is already a great amount of fine detail on this model and I would be afraid of the build taking forever with me losing interest.  Thanks for the mention by the way.

Here's a picture of some detail coming up soon

thank you, but you are going to the trouble of all the extra brass work, maybe mine will take another 7 years just like the Victory, as no doubt it will get left behind when the Enterprise arrives, i have told the Admiral that the Dorade will get completed next month

 

the two builds I had in my stash as next on the todo list , Deans Marine Komet, and Billings Cutty sark, went onto Facebook market place and were sold within the hour

Good evening everyone

 

top strip has been primed and ready for top coat

IMG_7394.thumb.JPG.6cb8e6347399dfd4d037fdbf8d4cada5.JPGIMG_7398.thumb.JPG.315323dcd886839217de0fbdb0d06f36.JPG

 

did a check on what is still to be made and laid them out on the plans

IMG_7409.thumb.JPG.9fa04f0f56261ba8d3d1c114994cf7e4.JPGIMG_7410.thumb.JPG.fd9b04de7826bba093c67c1d164099cf.JPG

 

 

the port hole strips were used to mark out where the holes have to be drilled, i was then going to discard the strips put the brass ports and eyelids directly onto the hull. then mask and paint over them in black, however i was a bit heavy handed in places, so the strips are back on the build table

these strips are fine providing the hull is right, and so far mine have gone on ok

i used Halfords appliance white as the top coat, it will need another layer on at a later date

Well, I've really enjoyed reading through your rebuild of this incredible ship. It's wonderful to see you giving her a complete refitting in your drydock! My goodness, she looks massive too. I'll come along for the ride as well.

Hi Kevin,  She’s coming along really well, you can see the improvements in each new post. I was sceptical about the eyebrows at first but I’m won over now, they’ve come out really well. Regarding the colour, just go with what you like at the time, I have with mine and I feel that I’m not restrained and feel more relaxed about the build. Seeing your kit It’s surprising how the same company can come up with another kit of the same ship yet are so very different, plans, parts etc from their work previous one, I’m not sure if it’s in any way an improvement. I’ve  just finished my canopy and you were right in thinking that soldering was the way to go.

Hi Ken

 

the build will slow down again for a while as my HMS Enterprise arrived this morning, but i was looking at the AV canopy yesterday, and wanted to remove the superglue on there form 12 years ago, put a few drops of debonder on it, and within 30 seconds, all i had was a pile of poo, it just disinterested whilst the wife and myself watched

Hi Kevin, I really envy you on your Enterprise, it looks like a kit to die for, look forward to your impressions of it.

 

Enjoy your canopy moment, it would have had my wife and myself in stitches. Moments like that although a bit of a disaster at the time are really funny on reflection.

Good evening everyone

 

Hull

 

well with the Dorade finished, its back to the Amerigo, the Enterprise will continue at some time in the future when my confidence returns

 

so back to the banding, 

 

im having trouble sourcing some air ports/portholes they appear in the instructions as part number 202  and are 6.8 x 3.3, i need about 30 of them,  but have plenty to so until i come up with a solution, buying kit number 3 is not really an option

 

for some reason the banding is longer one side than the other so i have a gap to fill

 

other then that, this for me is 1000% better than my previous attempt 11 years ago

Good evening everyone

 

look long and hard at the build today, and decided to be a bit braver with her

the yellow ochre is going, NO yellow Ochre on this build (subject to change), it is being replaced with Olive green, 

why i ask you say, and my thinking is ( i dont have an answer yet)

anyway i am committed to the build and ordered some extra bits for her today, including olive green

 

the banding is sitting better now, i altered a few bits today

 

the ports i am experimenting with to see if it works

I think the Vespucci was the kit I always longed for when I first started, and it passed me by.

 

Nice to see this progressing.

Thank you Dennis

 

im actually enjoying it this time, at present i am scratching the lockers that caused me to abandon the build 10 years ago, on building these i realised that the side entry access hatches were in the wrong place, although they were kind of corrected, i lost heart, and bought the Victory

 

thank you also for the likes, its nice to be posting a lot more again, hope you and family are well,

Good evening everyone

 

Thank you for likes and comments

 

i have started pinning parts in place, nothing will be fixed until i have put the right colour  green in the upper banding

 

prop is now fitted, and the stern decoration is in place, to get this to fit i sanded the reverse side, it was a lot easier to get into the right shape after taking 2mm off

 

tonight first test fit of the veranda, in the first build, this was miles out, this time nothing has been filed to get a fit

 

everything is pinned but not secured

 

im waiting for some strips to arrive to put under the green banding, that will hide the over painting

need to look at that gap, not seen it before

good afternoon everyone

 

i will have to rethink the belaying pin racks, the kit provides for 7 pins on all masts this needs to be at least 13, so i will have to go back a scratch my head

 

please let me know if you are getting bored of my updates, i love to show the ups and downs of my builds, but  im happy to cut down to once a week if it is desired

Not bored of the updates at all Kevin, on the contrary, I (and I'm sure others) like seeing them on this very cool subject.  Especially since there aren't many logs of it.

I agree Kevin - it’s always interesting to see your progress on this one, particularly as this has been a resurrection from a subject you had all but given up on. I might not comment much, but I do enjoy following your progress.

my ordered paint arrived todat, so was able to move on with the stern,, this has now been panelled

im struggling tonight getting the balcony panels to fit, - yes i mixed them up in error (schoolboy error) the instructions didnt do anything to help the situation, although im not blaming them IMG_9286.thumb.JPG.0a9eff5b3acc4e784344f0cd090c9eeb.JPGIMG_9287.thumb.JPG.c65c221f25ed69e323107260f270d5d9.JPGIMG_9289.thumb.JPG.c7c85a71dddb77fba553d76bfda1908c.JPGIMG_9292.thumb.JPG.85f698ba2c6364a4ef1c2cbbdecc7cee.JPGIMG_9294.thumb.JPG.124698e44648bc99659d2b763d134d78.JPGIMG_9295.thumb.JPG.d65400ab92b03060c24dc90a31092e67.JPG
