Bonjour Sylvain
I'll definitely follow your build with great interest.
I am currently building the Amerigo Vespucci as well; I started about 1 year ago and hope to complete it this year.
You can see my build log on SoS
Good luck

Bonjour Sylvain
Tu avances super vite !!! You are moving super fast !!
Nice work

I could comment that I find the yellow a bit to bright compared to the real ship. But of course this is a question of individual taste.

Keep it up

Thank you Gilbert. The yellow is satin but because of the flash there is an optical effect that makes it shiny. All my colors are acrylic satin, covered with a varnish also satin. Thank you for the encouragement, I was very inspired by your editing and your directions

Part 9
Installation of hull portholes

Drilling with a wood drill bit

Enlarge the hole to match the size of the porthole

Fixation with cyano glue

Installation of overhead windows and tilting windows

but as it is not practical to work flat, I invented a new method by holding the hull vertically to easily work the stern flat

Colour setting of the rudder

Hull drilling for the rudder shaft and keel adjustment for a good rudder position

Rear Chateau Positioning Test

Painting in white with a spray grating from the rear chateau

Finishing of the stern of the ship

Painting of the side doors that I fixed on an adhesive tape so that the spray spray spray does not make them move

Grating installation

Rear Chateau Installation

Installation of brass brackets. No part being the right size, I had to adjust them one by one with an electric belt sander

The hull of the ship is almost finished, it lacks the decorations of the bow that will come in the following episode

Now that day one is over, what is next? Fantastic start!
