    The Vasa from Billing boats is a good kit. But with allot of extra work before you get a good model. Once the plastic figures are painted. What is then the difference with bronze figures? i dont now. I am building the Wasa from Billing also View my model on : http://modelshipworld.com/index.php/topic/13249-wasa-by-backer-billing-boats/

    Thanks for the positive reaction!! I received this kit in 1988 (for free !!) . Partially started by someone else who had built it completely wrong . What is in the box is good qwality for a fair price ! But. Ther is A LOT of extra work on this model. All visible plywood has replaced solid wood Gun ports are made open extra set of cannons for 2nd deck (correct size) Better detailed cannons on the upper decks new deck planks railing completely rebuilt wooden blocks instead of plastic ect.. And, I spent hours and hours searching for information on the Internet and books. All this extra searching and extra work to build this model. Was more satisfying than a model you can build out "of the box". Without al the thinking, searching, and improving to build this model. Greetings Patrick

    The making of this model was started in 2006 After visiting the Wasa museum in Stockholm. It's my 1st wooden ship model. Normally I only build military vehicles in 1/72 scale Ps, I understand and read English. But i've never learned to write it. So. All I write in English will be translated from Dutch to English with google translate. Sorry for that.

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.
