amateur got a reaction from AJohnson in Card models
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.

Perhaps not finished, but I like the ‘emptyness’ of that last one

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

amateur reacted to 72Nova in Soleil Royal by Hubac's Historian - Heller - An Extensive Modification and Partial Scratch-Build
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.
see this pic on wiki: The Vasa from the Bow - Vasa (ship) - Wikipedia

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.

Work on modifying the main top continues to somewhat resemble the original as much as possible. I had already opened up the space between the ribs, next I removed half of the top rail and filed down the ribs and reattached it then I used thread to simulate an additional rail on the aft end of the top.
The dead eyes measure out to around 2mm and are stropped with 28g brass wire that is hooked to flattened 24g copper wire to create the chain for the futtock shrouds to hook to and will be fun when the time comes to rig.

The Big Reveal!
Yes, three weeks to the day and she's finished - another fantastic model from Kartonowa Kolekcja. I can't say enough good things about Pawel's designs -- they very nearly fall together by themselves. Anyways, on to the pictures!
I noticed as I was posting this next shot that the entry step got knocked askew -- gonna have to fix that.
Thanks to everyone who has followed along, liked, and commented. I hope you have enjoyed this quick build, and we'll see you on whatever is next!
