Amerigo Vespucci - 1:84 Panart

Hello all
I am now back home, recovering from my hip surgery that took place last Monday. I was wondering if I should post a picture of the post-surgery Xray in the "purchased shortly ago" section :p

First thing I did was to change the way the bolts are showing on the ochre color plates, just under the decks.
This is the way it looks based on the Panart instructions.

As you can see, this is not super accurate and I decided to insert small nails in each of the holes, to simulate the bolts.
This is now the way it looks (need a second coat of ochre paint)

After that, I worked on the stern doors and fittings.

Good morning Gilbert. It good to see you back- speedy recovery. Your nails “redo” is so like the ship in the pictures Frank sent you. Great decision. Cheers Grant
 
That looks really nice Gilbert. It really is an impressive kit and you are making a beautifull model out of it.
I hope recovery of the surgery goes well and you are not too much in pain.
Myself, I had surgery to my spine last week, so this now gives me also more time at the workbench (currently building Amati's Robt E Lee.).

Hello all
Progressing nicely on the Amerigo Vespucci. As I walk with some difficulty further to my hip surgery, I am spending a lot of time on the shipyard :)
Below some pictures of the progress so far
