Looking great Karl! /Matti -
Wonderful result, you can be proud! /Matti

Looking great Karl, it must feel good to have gotten this far in the build! I envy that sun of yours, we had gray and rain for seeks it feels. /Matti
-
Thanks pops! Im almost done with them now. /Matti
-
Keith,there looks to be enough parts on some of them to get a good idea of the construction. /Matti

I agree about the advantages with plastic sculptures. To the kits defence they seem to be based on the Landström drawings made around 1980. I think most of them are quite good actually, much better than I would ever expect from a kit with this price. /Matti

Wow, the grating turned out just perfect mate. How many hours went into it? Nails, the ones on Vasas gratings are quite hard to even notice in real life. /Matti

Thank you man! And thanks for the likes everyone! I needed to see how the weathering of the tops looked outdoors so I took a few pics. Updated the previous post with two of them. /Matti

Cheers Max, we work the same way then. I have been working with the tops. It's funny how fast this step feels after doing slow work like the ratlines. What I've done is making holes for the connections for the ropes/next level deadeyes holders. I also tried to make the skanskläder for the mainmast: /Matti

Thanks Mark! I haven't fully decided but I may wait for Vasa II. But I'm lousy at just waiting when building things. It kills the passion and I can only do one project at one time. It's the way I keep focus. /Matti
-
Cheers Lawrence! Yeah I can see the danger in carrying your model now. I don't have many days that doesn't have bad weather, it's very rainy here. /Matti

Thanks Frank, most appreciated! /Matti

Thanks mate! I don't like advanced cameras and use a fairly simple standard compact Canon that takes good pictures, but with no need to make any settings. The only thing I do is to turn the flash off, and whenever possible use sunlight as it makes the pictures better and the colors more true. Is the problem how to make the images the right size after you move them from the camera memorycard to your PC? If so I can explain, it's not advanced at all. Give me a shout if you want any advices. Maybe I can help out. Thanks for the likes everyone! /Matti

Cheers Nigel, yeah it was nice to start with the details for the tops now! But as I said I found the ratlining enjoyable to do. /Matti
-
Ha yeah, maybe they could change to bigger ones? Thanks man! /Matti
-
Kiitos Markku, thanks! Small reflection, when looking at the model now, the deadeyes look more in scale, and I realized that the camera angle and closeness is making the model ones look bigger. They are to big, but not that much. /Matti
-
Ah, the final ratlines of this stage is done, phew. I was bound to make mistakes as it was my first time, and the final mast became better than the first. But I'll look at the mistakes as lessons learned and move on. I made a side by side with one of my ref pics, and besides the oversized deadeyes and that I didn't get the right number of ratlines/spacing, I'm happy with how the shaping of the ratlines came out. Now it will feels good to make other things like finishing the tops and planning for the railings. /Matti
-
Great weathering Frank! That's a hard paintjob to balance and I love the realism and life you give your models. /Matti
-
Thanks mate! I have a lot on my plate, and find doing the ratlines to be relaxing. Just let the hands do their job. /Matti
-
Cool that you have experience from sailing Jan. I don't have anything like that. A couple of my ancestors were boatsmen so I can only hope I inherited some knowledge. /Matti
-
Thanks buddy! Yeah I find doing the rigging t be much more enjoyable than I thought. I do make first time misstakes, but those are bound to happen. So far rigging feels alot like detail painting. /Matti
-
Thank you so much mobbsie, it's a lot of inspiration to see your models! /Matti
-
Wow, mate what a fantastic result! I love it! /Matti
