Thanks all for the comments and likes! Mark, if I got it right, there should only be some minor adjustment needed. I plan to stop with the rigging after putting ratlines on the finished shrouds and wait for the Vasa II book. Actually I'm not sure what rigging set up I will give her, because I think of the model as in the summer before her departure, during the preparations. I find it poetic, all that hard work they did only to go under later on. I also always prefered the second act, in the middle of things. /Matti

Hey all, here is an update finally. I've done the other side of the mainmast and made the portside of the mizzen mast. I found it difficult to imitate the sagging curves of the original, but it was easier on the mizzen as the shrouds are angled straight up. First a reference pic I took at the museum: /Matti

Cheers Lawrence and Tony! I don't plan to use the lantern and didn't prepaire for any lighting for it. We can't know how one would look, but after seing lanterns on Vasa models like Marks, I got an urge to do one so I may change my mind later on. /Matti

Nice vid Mark! I remember that Mythbusters did their own test like this. And after some googling here is a compilation of their test: http://videos.howstuffworks.com/discovery/6542-mythbusters-pirate-pig-splinter-test-video.htm And yeah the pigs makes it all feel... well bad taste. But if I remember correctly their experiment had the right velocity and thickness of wood, and the pigs does show how a human would be affected by the hit pretty well. /Matti

Yeah, life must have been hard, and all the diseases that killed huge numbers... Repairs must have been difficult. /Matti

Here they shoot a replica cannon at that section. Beautyful stuff! http://www.svtplay.se/klipp/2419510/efter-lang-vantan-vasakanonen-avfyras /Matti

Sorry to hear of the problems, Nigel. I'm sure you will work it out. /Matti

Thanks guys! I've had less time to work on the ratlines, but I seem to have picked up speed so I'm soon getting done with the other side of the main mast. So much more enjoyable part of the build compaired to what I thought before starting. Cheers for all the likes! /Matti
-
Nice work, the details look in scale! /Matti
-
Cheers pops! Yeah, well work's hectic now, and doing the ratlines are relaxing to do. I thought it would be tedious as there are so many knots, but when one line is done, it's done. After applying some varnish that is. /Matti

Hey Law! I'm doing the mainmast ratlines on the portside. Thanks for checking the build buddy! /Matti

Superb work mate, your attention to wood color gives your models such harmony! /Matti

Nice work Jan! I hope to learn your method for my next build. /Matti

Love your model Jesse, the rope work is top notch! Sorry to read about the bowsprit, but you managed to repair it well! I would have prefered CA, as in my opinion its easier to hide the seams with some gentle sanding. /Matti
