amerigo vespucci

And so it begins… With what I expect to be a 2-year project, this Amerigo Vespucci build will deviate from what would have been a gorgeous static model, to hopefully a fully functional RC ship that remains true to its design. As there are so many threads that do a super job of detailing the AV...

I'm partly using Google translator, so it may be a bit wrong, sorry For various reasons, I did not keep a construction diary, so I decided to at least show the final results of my work. This is not my first sailing ship, but the first with folded sails. I've been thinking about this form of...

I'm starting this log a bit late as I have completed chapter 5 but I can share some of my issues and successes getting this far. Some background. I'm a 91 year old recently retired engineer. This is only the second plank on bulkhead model I have done--the first was an Amanti Vanguard 1:72, some...

Well, here goes... With the help and advice of others on this forum I have bitten the bullet and ordered the Panart kit from a company on Ebay. My first Ebay order ever! At 760€ it is a big step for me, albeit a good price for this model, but encouragement from Pauls Models on his log and from...

Hello all I am starting today a new project: 1:84 Amerigo Vespucci from Panart. I have been looking at various kits of the Amerigo Vespucci (Mantua, Panart, Occre, Mamoli, Heller) and finally decided to go for the high-end model from Mantua/Panart. It is indeed more expensive than the other...

Starting my build tomorrow will post pictures soon!

I built the Amerigo Vespucci from 2005-2015. It was a massive project, but I'm still enjoying the results today. For me, the most special time was the construction of the stand that the Amerigo is now resting on. I received a section of an oak tree (with the bark still attached) from an...

Hi, I have just started the Amerigo Vespucci, 1:84 scale from a Panart kit I’ll show my progress here so that you can see someone else struggle through a build as I’m sure many ordinary modellers do. I bought the kit off Ebay for a good price, it is an early version about 20 – 25 years old and...

Hello , The Amerigo Vespucci is an Italian training sailboat. It belongs to the Italian military navy, used for the training of student officers. It is currently one of the oldest three-masted square to sail, the oldest training ship of the Italian Navy in service and one of the largest military...

I think this was the last kit model I built, now it's only scratch models. A beautiful ship belonging to the Italian navy. Cost about £500 (I do mean the kit) enjoyed the build but did not like working with the many metal parts. Paul
