amati

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?

looking forward to this challenge

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.

I posted a sail rigging question in the General topics/help section of SOS for my HMS Fly build. I have decided to add a build log to cover the sail installation. The bowsprit will be the first set of sails and will be furled. I didn’t do a complete build log for H.M.S. Fly because I posted...

Starting my build of HMS Vanguard. I am impressed by the quality of other modelers on SOS, and hope I can come close to a similar outcome. Posting my build images is a bit anxiety provoking, as I hate imperfection, but rarely make things perfect. I welcome all comments and suggestions. Thanks...

Well its time for a new build now that ENDEAVOUR is ostensibly complete. My next choice of kit still had to have an Australian flavour so I chose the BOUNTY. Choosing which BOUNTY to buld came down to what I could afford and what was available. I considered the Artesania version but was not...

I just joined SOS so as far as the Mayflower goes I have her almost complete, you can see the full build so far here:- https://www.youtube.com/c/TheModelShipwrightPaulLester A couple of points to note if anyone is thinking of building this one, there are some errors on the plans, like some part...
