Some catching up to do, excellent work, Gilbert.
Thanks Tobias
Hello all
I have now completed 9 of the 11 small boats on the Amerigo Vespucci.
Quite a long effort, believe me !!!
2 10m motor boats (see below)
2 8.5m motor boats
4 8.5m rowing boats
The whaling boat
And all 9 together below
I have 2 more to do: the commander motor boat and the diesel motor boat. Work in progress on those, hoping to completed those by 20th November.
I initially wanted to continue on the ship decorations while doing the small boats (davits, stairs on the side of the ship, ...). I finally decided not to do this as I believe I would break many parts while installing the masts and the rigging.

A nice fleet is forming...

Hello all
I have now completed the commander motor boat and the diesel motor boat.
The whole fleet (11 boats total) is now done
I won't be installing those boats for the time being in order to avoid any breakage when working on the masts and rigging. I'll save these for leter.
I am starting with the foremast and have to say that the instructions provided by Mantua/Sergal are very limited and poor.
Anyway I'll have to do with it and investigate and make some investigations.

Progressing on the foremast...
I indicated in my last post that the instructions provided by Mantua/Panart are very poor. It is a series of pictures without any flow between them and pretty much useless. Really too bad.

Good morning Gilbert. WOW this is fantastic. An impressive built model to date. You have convinced me to have this on my to do list one day. Cheers Grant
Thanks Grant

Glad you like her

Nice Gilbert. Once again I am blown away by how busy the deck is on this ship...
Hello
I have now completed the 3 sections of the foremast and the top/topmast.
I am not using the threads provided by Mantua and have replaced them with threads from Ropes of Scale which are definitely nicer.
Some pictures below
I am leaving for the US tomorrow and will spend the holidays with my children and grand children.
Back home at the beginning of February.
Enjoy the holidays.

Good morning Gilbert. Very impressive. Enjoy time with your family in the US. Have an awesome festive season. Cheers Grant
Thanks Grant
This is one of my favorite builds to follow.....just a really outstanding job.....thanks for sharing.
Thanks Gene
I appreciate it
Great choice of build and the price is VERY reasonable. It took me 5 years . Over 100 sub units to build + 11 small deck boats. Much fun and satisfaction, and always admired by visitors.
Thanks Stuglo
Do you have a build log by any chance?
NO. Built before I knew of such things.
