    Pretty good for a braindead builder How much of it will be visible in the finished product? Jan

    Although cheap sometimes means: crappy wood and even crappier instructions. That makes cheaper not the same as ‘easier’….. Jan

    Did some googling. you can use that same string to determine the position of the slots in the lower chanel. You may discover that the slots in the upper chanel need some tinkering to get enough space to set them on the correct angle Jan

    Actually, I don’t quite understand the issue at hand. To find the correct angle for the chainplates, take a dowel as dummy mast: ty a piece of string at the top (or were the top will be). Pulling that string from mast doen over the chanels, will give you the angle for the chainplates. As the angle varies from front to aftshrould, the lower end of the chainplates will not be at a straight line, but on a large diameter radius. Jan

    How on earth did you get the ratlines to this stage of perfection?? Jan

    Smaller than I thought. I don’t know how it is in real, but on my screen gold and colours balance out quite nicely. Jan

    With respect to the deck-camber: from the drawings that Fred Hocked posted in the Vasa forum, there seems to be considerable camber. Also: the way you draw the bottom timbers is not completely up to 'usual standards: the timbers lay flat on the keel, the planking goes down in the keel-rabet, leaving an open space to collect the incoming water. See drawing no 6, on this page: https://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/thread/87/vasa-ship-plans?page=3 Jan

    Coming along nicely. Those things on the reardeck are not vents: just staircases to the lower deck (at least, ghey are in the dutch Z1, that was designed and build after the first Z1 became v108) Jan

    Sometimes I think you love card-planes better than card-ships. Is the pattern of the ribs just rendering, ordid you do something to enhance it? Jan

    I don’t see what you try to tell us. The ridets are made from a number of pieces of timber, scarphed together and the scarf is secured with large dowels that are more or less evenly spaced. Or are those not the dowels you refer to? Jan

    Make sure you can still get the model out of your workshop…. A full rig at that scale will be large Jan

    My own observation: the forum had Clayton's model as main focal point. As soon as he finished his model, the remaining log's were mainly the 'standard' build logs of kit-versions of Vasa. Fred stopped being a regular visitor, because we were for the main part just lurkers, drooling at Clayton's beautiful model. And than it lost momentum as a community of Vasa-enthousiasts. But it still is a wealth of info, although it is sometimes difficult to find the info, as it was quite often just in casual remarks somewhere in a post.... Jan

    Hi, I will follow this one for sure. There used tobe a vasa-dedicated forum, interesting as Hocker was avfrequent visitor. It is non-active for a while, but the information is still there. https://warshipvasa.freeforums.net Jan

    Although this one has a mast too many….. Jan

    Nice model, although my huess is that there was the usual artistic license by the builder. It reminds me of the steam barques around 1900. any provenance that could guide us in the search for the original? (actually: I doubt what the function of the original was: not navy (no guns). No hatches, so not bulk transport. Passenger transport? Also: the pucs I can find show one-funneled ships. This one has two, but also a complete barque (?) rigging. Artistic license, or a clue towards the original ship? does it have a name on the transom? jan

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
