Omega1234 Posted December 12, 2015 #517 Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Hi Dimitris I've often been curious to know if you've always had this talent for ship models, because if you have, you're one lucky bloke.

Cheers Patrick Hello my friend, thank you for your kind comments, but I don't know whether to call it a talent. It is the first time for me working on modeling in general starting from the Bluenose. I think the most important skills in ship modelling are persistence and patience.

Unfortunately the rigging thread i use (caldercraft's black thread 0,75mm) that i have is finished. The thick rope that the kit include is natural color which is no comfortable to use.. Cornwall models is out of stock for now ... So i have to wait for a while!!!

Dimitris71 Posted December 19, 2015 Author #526 Posted December 19, 2015 Hi Dimitris I am very sorry for not being on the MSW Form very much at all this last couple of months. I have been so busy with house hold chores that seam to be never ending, but the end is in sight. I will begin to try and saw some wood for the hull and framing for my Admirals African Queen, a little ship that she has always loved , after the movie that is. Great job you are doing on your Amerigo Vespucci, I just love your Radar mast and platform railings among all of that very fine detail that you have added since my last visit to your log, WELL DONE. I take this time to wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas and an even better and Happier New Year to come. ENJOY. Regards Lawrence Hello my friend, don't mention it!! Thank you very much for your compliments and for all the likes !!! I wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR for you and your family.

Heinz6672 Posted December 19, 2015 #527 Posted December 19, 2015 Hello Dimitris, it can not believe how fast your Amerigo grows. Do you have more than 24 hours per day??? And no matter how well I look, I could not find a piece that is not build clean. I already say this, but I have to repeat it: it´s so much fun to watch your progress. A beautiful model of a beautiful ship! Merry Christmas to you!!! - Heinz - Dimitris71 and Seventynet 2 Quote HMS Victory by Heinz746

Dimitris71 Posted December 24, 2015 Author #539 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Dimitris It is always fun to watch the rigging come together, I believe the word that you are looking for is the Stays. They sure do make a sailing ship look a lot more completed just by filling in a bit of space. Looks like you will soon be into the Shrouds and then the Rat Lines with all of those half hitches to tie. ENJOY. Regards Lawrence Hi Lawrence, thank you for the nice comments and for the help ......
