due to private reasons is my build now in almost dead-slow.

we are at this moment trying to sell our house and for this reason my workshop is cleaned-up now and the Vasa protected under plastic

 

I started with the preparation of the yards for all the masts

made also a temporary sketch with all blocks summarized for each yard

plan is to finish all yards completly so they can be mounted directly to the masts.

I have sorted the yards for each mast and kept them in a plastic bag. I made a sketch based on the Corel drawings which blocks needs to be on each yard. 

I also printed the sails already based on FModjars build (thanks)

 

based on input from Fred Hocker I will use the Corel drawings (till Vasa II is issued :) )

 

the single blocks 5mm are fixed, next will be the 4mm blocks.

in the meantime busy with preparations of the yards, as soon as something new to show I will post some pictures

 

I have packed the Vasa in plastic to prevent against dust. due to private reasons I cannot work on the rigging and have to wait till summer holiday period.

One week to go before the holidays.

I have re-scaled the frames for the small boat and glued this on some wood.

I am trying to use this as a guidance for the planking.

next step will be fixing these frames

after that start with planking and hopefully remove these temporary frames and replace them with "original" clamps.

 

Due to private reasons the builds is still very slow although I have  now a holiday break

I first am making an contramall from paper and then planking on the paper. I learned this technic from a Russian builder and used this also for a previous small boat.

 

Later this week once the paper mall is fixed I will publish some pictures. for the paper I am using toiletpaper in combination with wall paper glue (called Papier Mache in the Netherlands)

During the last weeks continued with the long boat, changed the seatings and made a mast

after the painting I will add some ropes and sails.

 

 

 

 

 

Due to our planned move in February I will till that time, during the weekly meetings with our model club, do some preparations for the rigging.

as of last week my build is now in full stop.

we are moving to a new house by mid of February and are now busy to pack all item collected after 23 years living in this house.

 

first job was to save all the modelbuilding items and tools and pack them correctly.

 

I hope to have everything unpacked and ready for restart the build around the summer as we have also to do some modifications in our new house.

Goal will be to have the Vasa ready to show as it is now during the Meeting of Historical Shipmodels in the Netherlands on May 7, see link below in my signature

Jan,

 

Good luck with your move. Congrats on the new house.

 

BTW Your long boat is an excellent image from the original. Nice work.

 

Cheers

we have been moved to our new house. in the coming weeks/months a lot of small jobs to do, like painting and wall papers.

 

and most important to make a new workshop area for my shipmodelling

 

all shipmodells survived the move, and the Vasa already has a new "temporary" location in our living

Good luck with the small jobs

 

Do not you think this is a dangerous place to put a ship model (even temporarily.)

Hopefully it does not fall.
That would be really pity 

 

In dutch :

Dat zou zeer, zeer jammer zijn.
