Hello everybody.
I am kinda new here. I mean i have kept an eye on basically every ship build here.
And now i thought its time for me to post my build! 
This isn´t my first build (first was La Couronne - because of the price tag :D),
but this one i want to make as original as possible (for the real thing).
As I said my goal is to make this ship as it is right now..not what it was.
But will see through the process. Maybe some colors here and there- will see! 
 
And little bit of the backstory as well.
Like my name says i am from Estonia. I have liked those old ships from the very beginning.
Saw the first one..an boom liked it and it stay´d this way. And i remember when i was young 
i always wondered how the hell people build these... because my ships what i build these days
was basically just arrow shaped wood blanks with sails But now when we have internet and computers
i have searched here and there..i found these kits and everything. and then i stumbled 
upon this forum. and only thought what i had in my mind was: Dear diary- JACKPOT! 
i have learned so much from you guys. And now i want to put all this knowledge to work!
And bit what i have done so far (almost a year of building).
 
I really don´t like these plastic figurines..so i made them all out of wood
so they look authentic! And i painted the ship dark brown... well the color dark brown was on the canister 
lid but the ship came out pretty black but i don´t mind!
and there are some pictures of the progress so far! And now when the winter is coming and the nasty Covid-19 raising his 
head it time to start building again!

Hi Hennie 
You will thoroughly enjoy building this ship.
I am currently working on my version of the SOS by De Agostini and am up to the rigging stage.
look up my Snoepert version if you are interested.
Gr,

I have actually walked over the Batavia in Holland and was a very impressive ship.
Very similar to the Vaasa .
Look forward seeing this model develop.

Hi Paul
welcome to the world of retirement.
Sometimes you get the feeling you are busier now then when you worked but it’s all totally enjoying.
Did this model and thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip.
Enjoy,
Eddie
