Billings Vasa is not a simple kit that you can build quickly. And if you try to do that, you will regret the time and money you spend on it. free advice Try building a small plastic model. Done quickly and costs little money

Thanks Geert, Bought specifically for this occasion and forgot I had it. (Forgetting things, one of my corona effects ). The clove hitch, de mastworp. The forestay of the mizzenmast Made 2 bloks. Used the mold from de deadeyes as basis. Drilled 2 extra holes Then they are cut and sanded In place The "mouse" started from a piece of plastic sprue. in place Next to do are the backstays of the mainmast. But first i have to make blocks. at the moment these are "think and test" work. And we are a little more organized. My late mother's old sewing box is back in service. And my wife bought me a new tablecloth. For how long will this nice cloth stay clean ? 😇

Baker replied to Baker's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
More smaller parts have been added. Instrument panels in the driver compartiment. And a radiator en some other small parts in the front opening. Some copper around this opening Removing parts from the resin model ( interior, exhaust) And. the wheels and tracks. current status The Weasel family is now temporarily in summer sleep. In spring and summer I will continue to build the Pelican (and gardening, cycling, walking...) This build will continue in October, November this year. Thanks for comments, following and likes -
Nice planking and workshop If I remember correctly when planking my Vasa . Indeed. Some more filler blocks between the front and rear frames would have been easier to apply the planks. And will give more support when sanding I did this on my 2nd wooden model Indeed "overdone" but planking in 1 layer works much easier after doing this

Nice work Steven Tell your wife what you are going to do. Women are very good at remembering what their husbands have to do. The only disadvantage : Do this, do that, do this, do that (all day long) 😂

Covid 19...We've had that here too. Indeed, you have no energy, don't feel like doing anything, nothing tastes good After 5 months, beer still tastes bad to me, it even stinks sometimes ... Can you imagine.. A Belgian who no longer likes drinking beer I hope you soon recover completely and nice work on the plane

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.
