Impressive what you do with plastic.

I have been building plastic military kits for more than 30 years myself (kits, semi scratch and scratch).
This is great work and really worth following. 

Greetings Patrick

I found this buildlog on a Dutch forum. Impressive model. Of course with Dutch text but with nice pictures.

Proficiat met je afgewerkt model.

Congratulations on your finished model.

Beautiful planking.

I have the same idea to use Plexiglas as a base. But I have not reached that point yet.

I am therefore curious about your working method and the result.

Good work.

And greetings from Belgium

Hi Patrick

 

I'm looking forward to your recovery. 

Circumstances may differ : sometimes life get's in the way of hobby-matters.

Get well & take care.

Thanks, I'm doing my best.

Patrick, my advice: Play tennis with one arm at the same time 😁.

 

G.L.

LOL 😂

I do not like sports.  The only "sport" i do is rifle shooting (completely legal according to all Belgian laws of course!!) 

The following parts are ready and installed.

From now on, the shipyard is on hold for a while. I have had pain in both arms for some time.
Doctor's conclusion: tennis elbow on both arms, so rest for a while, no model building, no gardening... grrrr.

Thanks for following, 

And it is not because the shipyard is on hold, that I will not be active on this forum 

Marius,

I made holes in the hull and then glued the gunport surrounds into these holes. Then they are sanded flat with the hull.

Ik maakte gaten in de romp en kleefde daar de kanonpoorten in. Daarna zijn deze mee vlak geschuurd met de romp.

I glued pieces of wood behind the gunports. This method proved to be very cumbersome. 

Gluing pieces of plywood between the frames is much easier, and paint the inside black. You can find this method in several logs.k

Ik lijmde houten blokjes achter de kanonpoorten, deze methode is zeer onhandig.

Lijm stukken triplex tussen de spanten en schilder deze zwart. Je vind deze methode beschreven in verschillende bouwlogs.

Normally under the waterline, the color is white.

Normaal is de kleur onder waterlijn wit

One of the reasons why the Vasa sank so quickly was too little depth.

Eén van de redenen waarom de Vasa zonk was te weinig diepgang.

Hello,

Started with re-making the wrongly made pieces. The same method has been used to make them.
The discs are made of plastic.

After painting, the discs are mounted without glue.

The hole is now also being drilled trough the discs. That way I drill in the center of the disk.

And secured with a brass pin.

Extra detail

painted and ready for assembly.

The height ratio of the piece to the model and the size of my assistant is much better now.

To be continued. Thanks for following.

I think this is a great idea 👍

Greetings from someone who also can not translate without google

Beautiful work.
I am still jealous of your drawing skills as preparation  .

As always, beautiful work Michael

Looking good, Good luck with the filling and sanding.

looks great . Congratulations

Greetings, Patrick

Just out of interest, how tall is that "crew member" in your last photo?

Thanks steven.

The average length of a man in the 16th century may have been 160 cm.
160 cm : 45 = 3.6 cm to scale
