  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. Damm the spell check your name was written correctly.Martyn.
  9. Thanks Martin, The planks do overlap by a millimeter.They the same as 3 shots back. Cheers, Eddie
  10. 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
