Jparsley Posted November 5, 2015 #361 Posted November 5, 2015 I agree dimitris it's your boat It definitely would make it stand out and accent another beautiful detail Dimitris71 and Omega1234 2 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
Dimitris71 Posted November 5, 2015 Author #362 Posted November 5, 2015 Hi Dimitris; it is called a seizing, personally I like the contrasting colour, it makes it stand out more. If it is historically correct or not I could not say for sure, what I can say, is that it is your boat so do what pleases you. Thank you Don for telling me the term...(I read it somewhere , but my brain stopped..lol). Thank you and for your kind comments as well!! :) Cheers Dimitris Omega1234 1 Quote Current Build: Amerigo Vespucci -Mantua- 1:100 scale Completed Build logs: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Gallery: Bluenose II AL 1:75 scale Future Build: Royal Caroline -Panart- 1:47 scale

Cheers Patrick Hi Patrick, thank you for your time to comment , for your kind words and likes... Regarding the display case, i don't know yet...i am looking around the net. Also there is a store here in Athens who construct display cases for modellers. Will see.. Cheers Dimitris.

Dimitris71 Posted November 5, 2015 Author #368 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Good evening, I put the 1st net on the bowsprit but i think i did a mistake that i painted white ..... seems fake ... Now either i will order another net and rebuild it, or i will try with caution to paint it grey... Although I have second thoughts that the rope binder around the net should be more fine !!! Any help or suggestions are always welcome.

marcjp Posted November 6, 2015 #369 Posted November 6, 2015 Hi Dimitri Your Amerigo Vespucci looks amazing, you are doing a great job. Regarding the net colour, I am sending you attached a couple of A.V. pictures I found on internet On the first picture the net seems to be beige, but on the other one it looks more white. I think it is just the natural rope colour, The more important is that you like the result, it is your model Have fun Kind regards Marc dgbot, riverboat, Omega1234 and 4 others 7 Quote
Greg the peg leg sailor Posted November 6, 2015 #370 Posted November 6, 2015 G'day Dimitris Marc has answered the question for me. Age will make the rope the colour that is natural, so don't do a thing! It's perfect just the way it is!

Jparsley Posted November 6, 2015 #371 Posted November 6, 2015 Hey dimitris To me it looks a little heavy in the netting Try using a very fine screen like for Windows or mesh I would think there is some fine metal mesh you could air brush that would give a nice light coat of beige color the rope attaching it would or should be a darker color like a brown for contrast Dimitris71 and Omega1234 2 Quote USF Constellation 1/85 AL Jparsley
Dimitris71 Posted November 6, 2015 Author #372 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Hello shipmates, Marc - Greg - Jeff , I do thank you for your help and your suggestions... I was not quiet happy with the result, so, i took it of and i bought some new netting and installed it. I also used more fine rope to bind the net on the bowsprit. The result, for me at least, is better.... :D Slog-Nigel-Boyd - Patrick thank you for pushing the L button... :) The first photo shows the netting yesterday, the others the new one...
