Dimitris,

 

As always - very nice work. I must have missed one detail. In that sequence of photos the 'bow rudder housing' appears to be able to swivel 360 degrees around. ;)

 

Cheers,

 

Elia

Hello Elia, welcome back to my build log. The swivel was done for photography purposes.. :) :)  I do thank you for your nice comments and also for your likes. :) :)

Hello Igor, a very beautiful mini Vespucci. I do thank you for your nice comments for visiting my build log and also for your likes. :) I would never do such a little ship with so many details on it... due to my farsightedness :10_1_10: :10_1_10:

The portholes that I purchased by rbmodels have arrived today. I installed 2 of them to see how they look like. I will appreciate any comments and suggestions.

I look forward new photos!

Hi Dimitris,

Thanks for the links.  Pretty amazing stuff.  My eyes are slowly going south so I don't think I'll be building anything like that.

I do have my Amerigo waiting in the wings though, so I have been watching your progress.  Very nice.  What kind of wood did you use for the decking?  I think my kit has walnut for the deck and I don't like that.  Did you replace yours?  Doesn't look like walnut.

Hi Salty Dog, thank you for your nice comments . I used the kit's walnut strips. I varnished them (3 coats) with the premium Vallejo mat varnish code 62.062. Feel free to  ask anything you might need, I will gladly try to help.

 

Kind regards

Hello shipmates, I do thank you all for your comments and visits to my build log. A small update as requested. I installed and painted the hand rails on stern rudder housing, i also painted the rudder. I constructed the three crates that belong to the bow deck.

 

Cheers

Dimitris

Excellent work Dimitris B) She is coming along great.I do like the portholes from RB models.I shall check these out.Wondering if they make them small enough to represent pipe flanges on my Fairmount Alpine ;)

 

Kind Regards

Hello Nigel, thank you for your kind comments and also for your likes!! :) :) Regarding the portholes I think that the ones that I got are the smallest ones.
