Amerigo Vespucci by Dimitris71 - Mantua - 1:100 scale


Recommended Posts

I came upon your build and admire what you have done so far.  After this the Royal Caroline will be a snap.  Just an Idea.  If you want to use pear for the second planking just fill in between the bulkheads and make it a solid hull then use the pear.  Keep up the good work.

Hello David, welcome aboard. Thank you for the kind words and also for the tip about the pear.. :) :)

Hi Dimitris,

 

Great to see the deck furniture starting to be added. I always really enjoying watching this part of every build...seems to make the model come to life.

 

Congrats on your Royal Caroline as well!

 

Cheers,

 

Nigel.

Thank you very much Nigel for your nice words !! I agree with you, that this part of the build is most enjoyable!!! :) :)

 

Cheers

Hi Dimitris

 

Just caught up with your wonderful AV and it's really impressive just how good she's looking.  I also agree with Nigel (Upstate NY) because it is always nice to see the ship's furniture having such an impact upon the overall appearance of the ship.   The deck, also, adds heaps of value as well - nice and clean work.

 

I was also pleased to see that the Royal Caroline is your next build.  I reckon you'll ace it!

 

All the best

 

Patrick

David B

I have never used that brand how is it to work with?

David B

When i use it  with an airbrush  it needs thining with the 71.361 thinner (model air series). On the other hand, the model color series is made for brushes and there is no need to use thinner(distilled water)..It is very easy to use .. This my first time painting so many items with a brush and i'm quite happy about it. Note that these are acrylic paints. They have a very good result without having to breathe dangerous chemicals (I have two kids at home) . The vallejo Primer comes in three colors i think, Grey , black and white (see my post here No 86). Also  the Vallejo Premium Series has a fantastic matt varnish, code 62.062. This varnish is also used for protecting helmets against scratches.The bluenose was my first kit, i painted it 6-7 times before I came to understand how the airbrush works ,you know...lol , the thining, pressure and distance,overspray etc... :angry: :angry:.  I truly hope you'll find this info helpful..

Feel free to ask anything you might need.

 

Cheers
