Amerigo Vespucci 1931 by Richard50 – Panart – Scale 1:84 - launched Naples Italy


Recommended Posts

If you're going to drill holes and thread them in the wood, it helps to 'harden' the threads with two or three drops of thin CA.  It strengthens them quite a bit.  Just make sure the CA is completely dry before you put in the screws or threaded rod.

Thanks Kevin, it was great talking to a fellow modeller, and thanks also for all the tips. The day made me feel better, and inspired me to get back to working on The Amerigo Vespucci with some vigor.  When you have the time, why not try getting back to your A.M. which has been tucked away for some time.

 

Once again thanks for your time.

Best wishes

Jimbob (Richard)
