Hello Everyone, Long time listener, first time caller… Staring on this today, I’ve dabbled a bit here and there in modeling but mostly my hobbies have been Quilting, embroidery and needle felting, and portrait drawing, I’m excited to get started and see where this goes, Wish me good will Lisa

You dont really need another Pegasus build log but it helps me a bit. I am preparing myself for a bigger task with either Amati Victory Vanguard or perhaps Occre Montanes. I have never done copper plating or crowsfeet rigging so Pegasus will provide that experience along with an opportunity to...

I dont know if this is in the right place, its not so much a build log, more a way of marking my progress, and getting suggestions on how to improve my build skills. If its in the wrong place please move it. I started the Santa Maria several months ago. Its certainly the first proper masted...

hello dearest. last year i started my Christmas present, the Amati Victory Models cutter Lady Nelson. pretty straightforward build, no big issues

Hello everyone! I would like to shere with You my latest build - an excelent model Frombork Amati. I know that the are plenty of posts about this ship, however maybe someone will be inspired by my work. Hope You will enyoy it. PS. It tok me about 3,5 months to get to this stage

I am starting a build log with photographs and videos of the Amati Bluenose 1:100 Kit. I hope this is the correct location for this log. Is there a particular standard format for the log?

....some hints from my experience 1. When fitting part 222 grating to part 50 forecastle deck, you need to use the one example of 222 which has a rectangular hole cut in it. The allows the samson post inside the forecastle to be reached for rigging. No way of knowing unless you happen to notice...

Hi All. Decided to post my build of H.M.S. Granado by Victory Models. The kit was purchased many years ago and gathered dust at different stages of construction. The main reasons for these delays were the instructions and the lack of building logs for this specific kit. This is my first ship...

Well, here are a few photos of my last build. This is the battleship Bismarck (Kriegsmarine), at 1:200 scale. I will gradually post more photos. I hope you like it! Un abrazo a todos desde Granada, España.:cool:

Unboxing Having just completed the Amati Nina there were no surprises here: a box of good quality materials and fittings. Many of these looked very familiar from my previous build: the windlass, ship's boat, door frames etc. It appears that Columbus bought a job lot when kitting out his fleet. I...

Hi - kicking off my build log with a first tentative post - I’m going to need to catch up on posts here as I’ve nearly completed the mast and boom (just final coat of paint needed) and have made a tentative start on the first hull planking. Never built a wooden ship model before and really...

Why? I am fast running out of shelf space! Large, square-rigged models (e.g. Vasa) have such long main yards that they require a shelf so deep that they could share it with a 1950s television set. My first thought was to go for a fore-and-aft rig ship but could not find one that took my fancy...

Hello all, I got this HMS Fly kit in the mail a couple days ago. I started looking around after references and found plenty of good build logs on this and other forums as well as some books and original plans that will all be helpful for this build. Some interesting info I found from the first...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my progress on the Santa Maria 1:65 ship model that I've been building for a few months now. Initially, I started with an Amati kit, thinking it would be an "easytobuild" straightforward project lasting only a couple of months. However, after obtaining books by...

Few photos of La Niña by Amati, with her sister La Pinta in the slipway…..

I am almost finished with the standing and I intend to in stall some furled sails on yards and fore stays. Where can I find some instructions how and when to apply them . This is the Pegasus 1/64 Amati kit with no sail plans. Any suggestions. Jack D

Hello! I'm new to this Forum and to wooden ship modeling. I once (many years ago) built cars and ships plastic kits, in between which the Passat tall ship from Heller. Now I decided to turn to modeling and to try wood kits. It happens that my firs kit is this Xebec from Amati. That is how I...

Hello Everybody, I'm since +- 2 weeks member and in this context I would like to actively participate in the group. Yesterday, I received the kit and the upgrade kit. It is my intention to honestly write my experience and activities, and will post on a regular base photo's and comments. I...

Great kit.I admit to being an Amati fan based on previous builds but the quality of the laser cutouts etc in this kit is really good.
