Patrick, there is plenty of space for a lot more ship models

Indeed.
The Vasa model has found another home (sold). 
Maybe i make a "2nd edition Vasa" one day

Nice!!!

 

Now you need six machine gun tanks to make up the full attack group... they were platooned two MG tanks to a Cannon tank and the command/radio tank would support three to five Platoons..... 

 

And the smoke generators would be on the lead tank...

 

Nice work. 1/72nd scale is difficult....

Thanks,

I'm going to borrow ft17s from the french army 😉

A productive day.
Here and there a little pencil and the little smoke tank is ready

Armored attack group 
Three 6 ton tanks at the front and a signal tank in the rear keeps in touch with headquarters (General Patton style )

the 1918-1940 corner

what is next??

Thanks for following this build

That guest is part of the rigging crew, leave Pelican alone too long and she'll be festooned in silk rigging 😁👍

Mast tops are looking good, nice job😉

Thanks

Looking really smart  - love the detail on the tracks.

 

OC.

Thanks,

Further painting.

A light grey dry brushing, painting the metal en wooden parts.

Apply "rust " (actually dilute red brown)

A light sand dry brushing and glued on the base plate

A wash with thinned mat black

almost ready 

Continue with the construction of the mastops.
This is more thinking time than construction time. The intention is to make something with these as examples.

(Start at the top left clockwise Mataro model, Vasa, Mary Rose, Vasa)

An uninvited guest at the shipyard ...

Adding the main "supports" as on the Mary Rose.

Making the "upper ring" from  several planks 

Glue the ring to the supports.

Still a lot to do

Main mast top under construction, fore mast is following.

Thanks for following.

Building the turret (The smoke tank is with the 3.7cm cannon)

Model and base plate. Ready for painting

Painted in the base collors

Thanks for following

The original tracks of the FT17 (French) and the 6ton (US) were made of steel, no rubber parts
Later, after WW1, some test models were made with a new wheel system and rubber "tracks".

Today a major event. The very last update

An empty space  ?? 

Sold the Vasa model due to lack of space in the hobby room (And once a ship model is finished, I lose my interest in it)

This model was a very educational experience.
Had a lot of fun , and even made money on it.
 

Maybe one day I'll build a second Vasa in scratch.

Thanks for following this

Well done, congrats 👍

Very beautiful work

I see the diagram to connect the track together......did you assemble them like that?

The way to join the ends of these tracks is quite fragile indeed.
Much depends on the quality of the rubber.

I usually glue  them directly to the wheels with CA, and cut them to the correct length at the end of the assembly

A beautiful little model.

Great work Rodolfo

Nog eens welkom

Welcome to MSW, and good luck with the models

Hello,

Apply the wheel assembly and the tracks

The parts

Glued in place

Track trubbels in the tank factory... 🙊  

The tracks are glued with CA 

Once, a long time ago my mother was missing several hairpins (and I had good clamps)

Smoke equipment in place and chassis ready for painting

Next the turret.

Thanks for following

Enough space? It looks to me that their legs are cut off to create space 😁.

Maybe that's the reason that the right man needs some boose, to daze a bit. I have the impression that the left man needs some as well. Luckily it is coming.

(Not sorry)

If we look at this complete drawing. Life on board of a 16th century ship was fun.... 🙈
