Dimitris71 Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share #182 Posted April 26, 2015 Hello shipmates, a little extra work, not part of the instructions regarding the stanchions and handrails. I used walnut strips 2mm X 2mm to simulate wooden stanchions that I saw in other build logs of the Vespucci.

Omega1234 Posted April 28, 2015 Share #189 Posted April 28, 2015 Hi Dimitris Nice work! I especially love the look of those staircases. Their design, characterised by the narrow steps at the top, increasing towards the bottom step, evokes an air of grandeur and they do look very fancy indeed. You'd almost expect to see a fancy aristocratic lady descending them with an umbrella to shield herself from the sun during a midday stroll across the deck. That'd be not too far-fetched, I guess, given the grandiose nature of the ship itself. All the best and keep the updates coming.

Elia Posted April 28, 2015 Share #192 Posted April 28, 2015 Dimitris, Very nice work on those stanchions and rails. I find the deck layout and furniture very interesting. It's quite different than a typical ship-of-the-line, with the cabin extending out from beneath some deck portions. It seems to be maybe reminiscent of a clipper ship. ? As always - it great to see and follow along with your progress here.

Greg the peg leg sailor Posted May 7, 2015 Share #199 Posted May 7, 2015 G'day Dimitris Your workmanship is so neat. And the thought of making 10 or 11 lifeboats would drive me cRaZy.

Salty Dog Posted May 7, 2015 Share #201 Posted May 7, 2015 Dimitris, Looking very good. I just realized that you're building the 1:100 and not the 1:84. I always fail to look at the scale and get confused. There's a 1:100 kit on eBay right now and I got all excited because it was only around $350. I was about to pull the trigger when I saw that it wasn't the 1:84. I already own the 1:84, but for $350 I'd buy it again! They now dropped the price to less than $250. That's still a good deal, but it's not the scale I want. It doesn't help that Mantua decided to use a picture of the ship on their box that is almost identical for both. Almost seems deceitful. Still going to watch your build. Take care. Dimitris71, edmay and Omega1234 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a joy following your work .Your model really looks good and I can see you put a lot of work in the detail of putting the pieces in place. I haven't been working on models lately because of completing some major work on our property.I'm eager to get back at the models but my real learning curve is trying to learn how to master this computer.
