  1. I have advanced work to the hull and varnished it with 3 coats of cabots gloss varnish walnut stain.
  2. This is the color stain I would like to use on my Vasa. Any ideas what brand or type of varnish to use. Maybe in a low satin medium. Eddie
  3. Martyn, Like what you did with the hull staining. I think I will go that way as well. eddie
  4. A bit more wood work re grate and other bits. Got into some more fine painting. This is going to be a long journey.
  5. more work carried out. Things are slowing down waiting for the next monthly supply from England.
  6. Martyn, I am at the same stage as you and will wait in interest to see how your staining comes out as I still am unsure wether to paint the hull or do it as the 1:10 scale model has done the finish . Eddie.
  7. Hull is all sanded now and the gun ports cut out ready to be filed smooth.
  8. Thanks Martin, The planks do overlap by a millimeter.They the same as 3 shots back. Cheers, Eddie
  9. Hi Gren, Considering the problems you’ve encountered you certainly picked up and finished the task. just a piece of information for you when I do the decks I get some fine black cotton and first run it through bees wax and then lay it against the deck plank I am laying and the slide another plank against the cotton to create the appearance of corking. eddie
