Thanks Daniel.Prayers for a successful second hip replacement Gilbert! My wife had both hers replaced with 9 months in between each one.
Hi BarcomadLooking so good, ireally hope that mine will look as good when I get thet far. Right now still working through book 3.
I have had my son and family here from Australia so for the first time in many years was able to be with both my children and all my grand kids at the same time. Maybe the last time for many years, so even the Amerigo Vespucci took second place for a while.
Your picture reminds me that I have a "lazy susan" or turntable in a cupboard somewhere.Definitely going to dig it out to use in the man-cave.
You keep on inspiring me...Thanks
Good morning Gilbert. I see you have a full house of "loves" from all the guys. Totally well deserved with this majestic model. Cheers GrantHello all
I have resumed the build of the Amerigo Vespucci and have completed the main mast rigging.
Tedious work but looking good so far.

I am now going to start work on the Mizzen mast
Thanks DanielJust a beautiful outstanding job on the rigging Gilbert. Looking forward to the rest of the sails.
Now - THAT IS A COOL MODEL.Hello all
I have finished the mizzen mast and believe that rigging of the Amerigo Vespucci is now completed.
I have to say that this was a very tedious work with a lot of broken threads that had to be redone multiple times.
Anyway, this is now behind me and I can get started on installing the sails.

From start to finish, installing the masts, shrouds, stays, spars and rigging took me approximately 6 months
Maintenant, C'EST UN MODÈLE COOL.

Super boulot. Bravo, j'admire et je te suis mais avec beaucoup de retard mais le mien avance aussi. Puis-je te poser une question ? As-tu volontairement oublié de poser le gouvernail, ou est-ce un effet d'optique. Merci beaucoup et à bientôt. SylvainBonjour à tous
J'ai terminé le mât d'artimon et je crois que le gréement de l'Amerigo Vespucci est maintenant terminé.
Je dois dire que c'était un travail très fastidieux avec beaucoup de fils cassés qui ont dû être refaits plusieurs fois.
Quoi qu'il en soit, c'est maintenant derrière moi et je peux commencer à installer les voiles.

Du début à la fin, l'installation des mâts, des haubans, des étais, des espars et du gréement m'a pris environ 6 mois

Thanks GeneOutstanding quality work. Very clean and very, very impressive. I understand the rigging took 6 months, but you should feel very content for a job well done!!
Hi PaulWow! What a spider's web of rigging! Good luck getting sails placed in that puzzle!
THanks GrantNow - THAT IS A COOL MODEL.
