Hi Pipe Major and welcome to Model Ship World. I have not built the Vasa so I am unable to answer your question. If you can give a detailed explanation of the problem you are having as well as some pictures, I am sure you will receive suggestions on a resolution. Good luck on your build.

You are making good progress James. Another approach you can take in gluing large surfaces is to use a combination of CA and yellow glue (Titebond). Just put a small amount of CA to tack the surface of the piece being glued and use the yellow glue for the remainder of the bond. This way, if the part is misaligned, it would be easier to break the bond before the yellow glue sets. You can also use a small paint brush and water to clean up any of the excess yellow glue in the joints.- 32 replies

Thanks shipman for your comments. I am glad you like the colors I chose. I actually painted the cap rails with another red (you can see remnants of the paint in the second picture of your quote) but it was too bright for my liking, so I sanded it off. The Grumbacher Cadmium Red color was a better choice to me as I felt it closely matched the colors on the contemporary models in the NMM that the kit was modeled after. The freizes provided in the kit were drawn by Chuck Passaro and were based on the NMM models. I have attached the pictures of the two models that Chuck Passaro modeled this kit after: And here is a picture of my model from page 4 of my build log :

Return after a 5 year "shore leave"
Ryland Craze replied to BareHook's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome back Ken. You had come a long way on your Hannah and I look forward to you restarting that build. You have done a great job on this kit and it will be nice to see it finished. -
Thanks Chuck and Glen for your comments. I also appreciate the "Likes". This is a really nice kit and I am enjoying the build. My miniature block plane is a Kunz 101 that I purchased from a Woodcraft store about 15 years ago. Stanley, Lie Nielsen and even Ebay have these miniature planes for sale. I am finding that I am using this plane more than I ever thought I would. I have been reading the build logs of other Medway Longboat builders and I find that each one has tips and techniques in it that I will use on my build. There is a wealth of information out there and I appreciate the efforts of Chuck, Rusty, Bob G, Bob W and others who have posted very detailed build logs. Their build logs are an inspiration for those of us that are building this kit.

Welcome to Model Ship World. I look forward to seeing your build of the Tamiya Yukikaze. The photo etch really brings a model ship to life.

Thanks everyone for your replies and for the "Likes". Progress continues at a snails pace on my Longboat. I have completed all of the shaping of the mast, boom, gaff and bowsprit and finished painting them and applying WOP on the wood surfaces. I stepped the mast (temporarily) and I am ready to start the rigging. Here are some pictures of the status of the model that I shared with my Club members on Zoom this past Saturday:

Tips for accurate bulk head alignment.
Ryland Craze replied to David W K's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome to Model Ship World David. I am sorry to hear of the news of the tornado as I am sure you lost more than the Syren. You sound like an experienced modeler and I look forward to seeing your work. -
Welcome to Model Ship World Patrick. I am looking forward to following your Bohuslan build.

Welcome to Model Ship World Daniel. The Polaris from OcCre seems to be a good model for a beginner. I believe OcCre has some videos on YouTube with tips on how to build the Polaris. Good luck on your build.

Congratulations on finishing your Cutty Sark. You built a highly crafted model and the details you added during this build make this model stand out. If you get a chance, please post your pictures in the Gallery.

3d printing crew figures
Ryland Craze replied to highlanderburial's topic in 3D-Printing and Laser-Cutting.
Please post some pictures of your work when you create them. 3-D is here to stay and we are in the infancy of this new technology. -
Congratulations on finishing your Lady Nelson. You did an excellent job on building this model.

Welcome to Model Ship World Gerco. You are a very talented model builder and I look forward to seeing more of your builds.

Len, Good to hear from you and glad to see you are doing well. We have missed you on this site. I still think about the Syren you brought to the Richmond IPMS show and the trip back home. I really believe you were robbed of the first place award in the Maritime class.

You are an amazing teacher, Olha. I have learned so much from this video that I will be referring back to it many times. The timing of this video is great as I will be using many of your techniques in your video on my Medway Longboat. You have special skills to be able to build a highly crafted model while filming your building processes.

By reading the other Picket Boat build logs, you will do just fine. I look forward to following your build.

Good choice on the dory model. The kit designer, David Antscherl, is an excellent teacher and a master craftsman. You will learn a lot from him. Many of us on MSW have attended his seminars, purchased his books and heard him speak at the Nautical Research Guild Conferences. Here is a link to his website: http://www.admiraltymodels.com/

Not new to modeling, but new here
Ryland Craze replied to gregdam's topic in New member Introductions
Welcome to Model Ship World Greg. You have done a nice job on your Heller Victory. I look forward to your build log and the start of your rigging. -
Nice job on planking. You should be proud of your planking as it is the first time that you have planked a hull. This is going to turn out to be a really nice model.

I just used some scrap 1/32" from the planking sheets and cut them 1/16" wide. They are not big and I only used them on the one piece frames.

Really nice build. I like your planking. Thanks for sharing your build progress with us.

Nice start on your Enterprise. Your 3D printed cannons look very nice. It looks like you need to do some fairing at the stern. Take a planking strip and lay it across the bulkheads to see how they will lie. Also, before you stain your deck, test your stain on some scrap planking material. This will give you a chance to see if the stain is the desired color before it is applied to your model.
