    Thank you Keith!
       Thanks to the Lord God, everything is fine with me and I am completing my project. It remains for me to install the steam boats on the model and raise the flags.

    I don’t know whether you already looked elsewhere, but the eastern half of Eirope is home to some very good builders. There are some very nice card-websites over there.

    It indeed evokes the feeling that the crews on these little ships crossing the oceans were all on their own ...

    Regardless of any misalignment issues, this has been a well thought out and engineered project Marc and can't to see her set in the actual waterline base when the time comes.

    Well, I’ve got the ocher cut-in on the port side, and I’m a third of the way through the ocher, starboard.  You can’t really tape these lines because of the limited access and curved shapes:
     



    There is still much to paint here.  I have to grey-wash the horse and the cathead figure.  I still haven’t muted the colors of the red and yellow ocher, and of course none of the gilt work has been done.  Little by little, though, we are getting there.

    amateur got a reaction from Old Collingwood in Vasa By 72Nova - FINISHED - Airfix - PLASTIC   
    I can follow your reasoning, but I never saw pictures of Dutch ships showing this setup.
    Also, this pic shows the setup as found on many Dutch pics. The only thing I can’t find wether or not Vasa has a gallion-knee that has a hole through which the collar goes, or that it is just around the bowsprit.

     
     
    But I don’t know how much of the stay-setup survived. Perhaps they vhoose this setup only because of the Dutch pics….

    I don't understand your mainstay setup: in Stockholm, the staycollar is  (as so often in ships of this era) not going into the deck.

    You can also find a lot of info here:

    It used to be a rather small, active group of vasa-researchers and builders (including Fred Hocker of the vasa-museum). Over the last two years activity died down vompletely, and the last post dates 6 months back.
    Still: lots of detailed info hidden over there.
