Vasa by Snoepert - FINISHED - De Agostini


Recommended Posts

Just had a major 7 week vacation through Europe and arrived home to find the first of 12 packs from England for the Vasa kit.

I saw the original Vasa in Sweden in 2012 and always wished I could get this ship for my collection and to my surprise England has the kit and allowed us guys down under to purchase direct.

I am exited to see the parts are of the same high standard as the Souvereign of the Seas I finshed early this year.

photo’s will follow when i commence serious construction

Well I have been quite busy and find the cut outs very precise and of great quality.

following the DeAgostini pdf instructions are very informative and clear to follow.

The hardest thing is waiting for the next months issue.

It is interesting building the ship as in 2012 we actually visited the real thing in SWEDEN AND WAS SOMIMPRESSIVE.

I am so pleased we were able to purchase this model direct from England.

At the planking stage and by following the pdf instructions it makes things much easier and clear albeit it doesn’t alway work as well as Gandales build.

This is the most challenging part and needs a lot patience and care painting all the decorations.

It was good to purchase the correct paints as shown in the comments on the Vasa official build .

Nice work m8 I am building the same kit  B) . Just a little heads up, I don't know if you are painting or staining the hull but the top of the ribs are painted or stained later in the build after the deck is planked but if you do it now you won't have to mask of the deck . Looking forward to your next update

Thanks for the heads up Black Viking

I have finished the Endeavour and Sovereign of the seas with white bottoms and I am tending not to paint this one.

Still undecided.

The planking is going quite well but there will need to do a bit of sanding to fix uneveness.

Moving slowly along.

Had a bit of confusion with the instructions re the step downs on the sides from the stern towards the bow.

But I think I got it now.

Can anyone advise if the nailing shown on the model advertising the DeAgostini kit is a random nail system and can explain the philosophy behind the nailing.

I think it looks great this way stained not painted but it could mean a long process nailing.

maybe the nailing could also be done on the painted version.

Anyone?

Eddie

I have followed Black Viking’s suggestion painting the ribs early. 

I took this a step further and am painting the lapped panels shown before installing.
