Very small update !
Because of the temp.
it's t hot to do anything.
High above the 34 C ( 93.4 F )
I have make the second planking for the upper part.
There must be some sanding,painting and oil for the part that should be not painted.
But first there are other things to do.
Like planking the deck and making the whales.
It can take a while before the next update.

Hi Mates,
Working on those falconets that seem to have also been on the Vasa.
Pic 1 from the 1/10th
Pic 2 are examples from Clayton Johnson’s build of all of the various canons that were cast for the ship. Here is a link to all of his work for the cannons (if you care to look) beautiful work
https://sites.google.com/site/clayton707/1-10-scale-vasa-artillery
Pic 3 falconets seem to have disappeared in more recent photos – hmmm?—
------- Wheels were cut from dowel. I rolled the dowel, not cutting clear through (for obvious reasons) then just sawed the inner bits. The carriages had been built at the same time that I put together the weather deck ones.
Used brass framing to articulate the metal framing for the carriages (simple tools helped) - not sure how to represent their attaching pins? May just let that bit go...
To be updated…..
PS: My big frustration with this ship (and all Vasa kits) has to do with all of the totally incorrect cannons that are supplied. But I understand – there were so many diff. size cannons mounted aboard that it would make this bit of detail cost prohibitive just for the Vasa kit. Let’s see if the DeAgostini 1/65 get’s these right???
Cheers,

Edwin, thanks you are so encouraging – as always. Well there have certainly been a lot of helpful posts with us Corel Wasa builders, which may be helpful to you in circumventing some of this kits glaring errors. Thanks for following along always nice hearing from you.
Frank, thanks – I am enjoying following your new project J
Jan V. You have been busy building the longboat nice side project. I will certainly use your ideas when I get there. Thanks for your nice thoughts.
B.E. & EJ_L thanks indeed. It is certainly mutual following along with your projects as well.
==============
Minor update: Decided on starting to build the two falconets and carriages that are at the quarter deck before moving to the mizzen mast. I’ll post some updates as they move along….
Thanks all for your kind clicks and comments,
Cheers,

Mates,
Thanks for the likes. Joe and Edmay cheers appreciated.
John Maguire thanks for your kindness in your interest in following along. Very nice of you. Welcome to the shipyard.
It appears as though, from your avatar, that we may have been the same business. Well I was for a time in my late twenties. Your avatar looks to be a newer 737 - at least a 600 series?.
My next post will definitely be a step forward (;-)
Regards,

Thank you Tom, but the reality is not so simple as the photos show .
I attached the false rails, main rails are installed on the model.

Your welcome WackoWolf .
I continue with other details on the front part of the main deck. Catheads are already installed, so I can continue with galion.

edmay reacted to md1400cs in Royal Louis 1780 by Ulises Victoria - FINISHED - Mamoli - Scale 1/90 - French 126-gun ship
Ulises,
Hmmm did I fall behind in your build log, or have you gone "ship supersonic"? Great amount of excellent work. Looking very good.
PS: Yes your part #112 is a difficult bit. I had the same issue, though I did not know how to do it correctly, and it now needs re-work.
Well that is the great part of MSW - we learn so much from each other as well. You did a great job of figuring it out.
Cheers,

Hi Ulises,
Thanks for your reply. I looked more carefully at Heller's instructions and found that the carriages were to be painted the barn red color as you suggested.
I look forward to seeing photo updates of your Royal Louis model. It's coming along nicely!

Hello Don.
Wow... this sure is a delayed answer. I am very sorry I didn't notice your question until now.
My kit doesn't come with any coloring guide. I am going with "Barn Red" color for the carriages, the same color I used for the bulwarks and black wheels.
Btw I built Heller's RL a very long time ago. This kit was a pleasure to do.
Best of lucks.

Looking very good Ulisis, those metal castings have come up a treat and fit quite well after you applied some TLC.
I hope all goes well with your sister; great to see family looking after each other.
regards

Sjors: Thanks for counting the photos for me.
And thanks for your kind words for my sis. We will move her to a special care home this Saturday so she can have better care.
I am actually a lousy nurse

edmay reacted to flying_dutchman2 in Cape Cod Catboat by Marcus Botanicus – FINISHED - BlueJacket Shipcrafters – Scale ¾”=1’
Here I am creating mast hoops. I use this excellent book a lot for ideas.
The metal pipe is a roller which I scavenged out of a HP printer. The paper is from a paper bag. I start by rolling the paper to form. Attach one end of the paper with a drop of CA to the metal tube. Heavily coat the paper with Elmer's white glue and slowly roll wrap the paper around the tube. Remove excess glue. Once dry, heat tube and pull the paper off.
I still have to cut it with a razor saw. Once done the book mentions to dilute CA and coat the hoop with it to strengthen it.
I use the metal tube because when I heat it, the CA glue lets the paper go. Don't know the chemistry of it, but it works.
