Such poorly detailed casts in such an expensive kit. Why not include resin parts or short run plastic parts (but that's my humble opinion) -
Indeed, the past weeks have been very productive. Weekly update. The ratlines are ready on one side of the main mast. Work in progress. "freshly tarred" and ready. This week most of the time went to the rope serving tool. The improvised workshop (The hay is for our goats, not for sleeping 🤣) A worn grinding disc is the basis for the drive Copper tube bearings Determine the center distance of the gears. A first test with white rope and black serving. The device works, but the operator still needs to gain more experience... My home made rope serving tool. So from now on no more excuses for not making a served rope... 😉 Thanks for following, comments and likes

When the cannons get in the way of the cat heads then they use dummy guns at Sergal (the easiest way 😉). I am convinced that you will find a solution to this problem. On some models of the SoS there are no cat heads (on the drawing of McKay also not). But, this will probably cause problems later during rigging.

This week has been very productive. The back stays of the fore mast and the shrouds are ready. The shrouds do not have a serving. 4 reasons The Vasa ship appears to be in doubt, only the Mizzen mast has this on one side. The front shroud is far enough back to avoid hitting the sail. As mentioned in a previous post, sometimes I get lazy. And I don't have a ropeserving tool. But since yesterday gears to hopefully make one. And Gorilla gel (The 3 gram patex tube is handy but is empty quickly). Attaching the back stays to the channel in this way turns out not to be convenient. These ropes rub against the railing. Presumably that is why this way was later not used animore and they were attached like the shrouds on the outside of the channel. In the absence of belaying pins, hopefully the ropes were tied in this way. Current status Now first try to assemble a rope serving tool Thanks for following, comments ans likes

Ancient Mongolian Ox Cart by Bill Hudson

Very nice model Well done -
If you read the entire text in the link in my previous post. Then you read that this is also a possibility. Only difficult to perform by the crew to stock it there. Let's say you have a great crew, that also is very handy 😉

A compliment from someone with so much experience. Thank you very much I try to do this as best I can. It seemed so simple at first, find a plan and get started. Actually, I'm glad I didn't follow a plan, this is much more challenging.

Most of the time during this era the "life boat" was in tow behind the ship. https://www.vasamuseet.se/en/collections/find-in-focus/espingen---vasas-longboat It has been discussed whether Vasa's esping was towed behind the ship or carried on deck, and where it was when the ship sank. We currently believe that the esping was normally towed, as it was too large and unwieldy to have been brought on board.

Billings Vasa was my first wooden shipmodel. Sometimes difficult, But time and patience is what you need. Good luck

Indeed, in some cases the first shroud was with serving. And yes, Vasa only has serving on 1 side of the mizzenmast (very confusing) Sometimes I am lazy 😳

First, welcome to MSW. Nice work The occre Golden hind is a copy of the replica in London. Not historically correct, but actually no model of this ship is correct (neither is mine) Nobody knows what this ship ever looked like. If you like the occre GH model, then you build this one Personally, I like the Dusek GH model more. Good luck
