Thank you Chris, sometimes the things in the box just aren`t good enough and it is always worth a try, if I fail I can go back in the box ^^. You are right Vivian, it gives this unique feel to the model and it feels good to know that there is not one exact model like this anywhere else, or at least I hope.- 58 replies

Hi, I haven`t done much on the ship lately, the school started again, so I am sitting all day long at the desk wondering what job would suit me... After some long vacations I find it always difficult to get back to the "normal life". Yes Vivian, the Vasa was amazing, she was huge. I imagined her to be smaller. I decided to use some "satin finish" (Seidenmatt in German), not sure if it is the right name. I might still change the lack, if I am not convinced with the test result. I have finally opened a hole at the back of the ship to fit the cabin in: I started to work on the cabin floor, which still needs some sanding and size adjustments. It is made in two parts; this made it easier to get the right sizes. I have also started to scratch build the stern. The original one is made of metal and the window are much too high, as shown on a previous post. (Padauk wood was used to plank the stern.) I would be really glad if someone (or many people) could point out errors at the stern, because later it will be difficult to repair or hide them. Two things that I have already noticed: At the left of the stern I have done too much sanding. It also seems that the left window end is higher than the right end. I would also like to thank everyone for the likes and comments.

Hi Vivian This time I can be here from the start. good luck on replaceing all the metal parts.

Yes I looked at the Pdf, its a very interesting method, seems to work wonderfully to, but I would never be able to work so small, how big are the figures? 20mm?
-
Thats amazing, those are much better then tho ones which can be bought from modell manufacturers, they are even smaller 0.o i wish I had the skills to do that

You could have been a tailor

Nice progress, looking at the pictures I was wondering why the cygne has two unused gunports at the front?
-
amazing, the stern looks amazing, actually the whole boat does. Can`t wait to know what the new project will be.

Nice progress, although it looks like the stairs aren`t complete yet?. If you google some images of the Royal Caroline you will notice a door under the stairs.

good luck on your new project, looks challenging
-
amazing, your progress gets always faster, could you post some fotos of the lighting switch, it sounds interesting.

Nice progress, unfortuneatly I have no pictures of the 1:10 model, but the again, I don't think that they found the Vasa fully rigged, so there must be a marge between correct and wrong, unless I am missing some other sources
-
impressive, the capping strip is great, I almost didn`t notice it.
-
nice progress 1:35 lets room for some extensive detail I presume
-
Nice progress, will you paint the hull?

I have recently received some ropes I had ordered, this was about 2-3 weeks back, but he did write that he had vaccations about one month ago -
The bulkheads look very stable, I can`t see the scale on the box correctly does it say 1:35?

I have finally made it back home. After some thoughts if I should move my workplace to the nuclear disaster shelter or my room, I opted for my room, as the light down there is relatively dim. (sorry for the bad quality of the image) Today I couldn`t make any progress, tomorrow the handrails will hopefully be finished and I shall start planning for the cabin, after finding some great but few builds with the interior decorated, I want to give it a plan and am ready to fail/succeed. One question that rests upon my mind is how I shall varnish and stain the hull, any suggestions are welcomed. By the way the Vasa museum was amazing, a real beauty. It was the first time I had to make a queue to enter a museum, it was worth the waiting.

If you aren`t happy with the second planking, you could rip it off and start again, although that would be a lot of work. If you have some holes in the planking where you see the first layer you could sand of spare planks, put a drop of glue (careful though which you use, test it first on some scrap pieces, if you stain the wood the glue might cause problems) and put the sawdust in the hole. Another way would be to take planks rests and slip them in between planks that have some distance and carefully sanding off the inserted plank to the level of the hull.
