Cheers Andy! I think it will work out well. Most important is that it didnt make the kid afraid of joining in, and it seems fine. /Matti -
The damaged parts are glued and in press, Hopefully I can make the parts a little stronger when I come to the bow construction. The finished result will be fragile no matter what so it will probably work out allright. Jan, yeah. I follow your build also and you are right. About risks: We just got this little cuty, and she allready has her eyes on my ship... /Matti

Thanks for the support. The construction will become a little weaker, but its no biggie really. The one who did it is a builder himself, (started really early). He knows how it feels, so he felt really sorry without me having the time to say anything. Im the one to blame and its not his fault at all. IIm happy we have the same interest and when involving him its my responsibility what happens. /Matti

I just learned the backside of having small kids that are interested in what you do...

Thanks ZyXuz! I just started to glue the first one in place. /Matti

Got time to mount the first gallery pieces. Their shape is quite good out of the box and after some trimming and shaping Im happy with the result. The pre paintjob will make it easyer when more pieces is in place. I decided to go slightly brighter in the red color, so I repainted the lower area of the stern. I also started to shape the wales and look forward to putting them on. Matti

Worked on the lightning. I made inner "roof and floor" to make a cell to contain the light. I will fix the leakage when I start to plank around that area. My camera makes the light appear much brighter and bluish in the pics. In real life its grayish with a tone of green (wich makes sense as I tinted the window glass green) and the light is more subtle and not to obvious. Now that thats out of the way I can carry on with the wood work. /Matti

The finish turned out great Buck! Thanks for the run through and tips. /Matti

Hey all! After making five styrene shutters that are below the akterspegel (Billing Boats made windows there wich is incorrect) it was time for the transom contruction in front o the stern. It took some time to plan how to do it and there are few reference pics of this area floating around, but thankfully I found a detailed plan from Mr Fredrik Hocker and I tried to base my buld it on that plan. The original is quite iregular and asymetrical and I tried to get that look. Billing Boats made their construction pretty close, but I ended up scratching 7 pieces to get it closer to the original. I also had to reshape and thin down a few kit pieces. Im now done with the stern construction and painting and can move along. /Matti

Great job, I really like your planking. Well done! /Matti -
Judging by the pic it looks like you dont have to worry Buck. When you find the method you prefer please let me know as Im pretty terrified at starting with the rigging... Good tips robyn and Ferit! /Matti

Cheers, Ferit, I usually look at models as a canvas, and thats especially true for a model like Vasa. /Matti
