NAZGÛL got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Wasan 1628 by Nazgul - FINISHED - Billing Boats Vasa 1:75
Thanks JM, once you get what goes where she builds in to a nice model. Feel free to ask and perhaps me or the other Billing Vasa builders can help.
Karl, your model turned out beautyful!
Vasa was a regal class ship, a kings powerful ship named after his heraldic name. Regal ships where usually named after things that were symbols of the king, The Spectre, The Crown, The Sword, The Apple (like Vasa sister ship Äpplet) and so on. Vasa is the family name (heraldic name?) of the king Gustav II Adolf. We call the time period between 1521-1654 vasatiden (The Vasa time) in swedish history because of these kings (and one queen). The V or W is because they had no clear spelling rules back then and wrote anyway they wanted.
Here's their heraldic symbol, same as on the Vasa ship. The thing in the middle is a vasakärve, a bundle of seed. These symbols are still common is swedish authorities.
I just finished the display case and got the model inside. The case is customized with a set of legs from an old table I had and some planks to fasten them. The display case is shortened to fit the model amd get nicer proportions of it.
Cheers!

Hola Matti:
Thanks again for your explanation.
By the way,somehow I missed your last pages of your log and I didn't realize that you already finish your model until I saw it in the display cabinet. Your version, like the original ship in the museum looks splendid!!!
Congratulations, Karl

The english equivalent to what you describe is called a fascine. Pretty close to vasa, I would say.

Thanks!
Well, it may be a something called a stormvase also. That's a bundle used by soldiers to get protection during battles. The Vasa symbol seems to have changed over the years and your interpretation of it as a symbol of wealth could also be true in this later version. I'm not sure, but the word vasakärve may actually originate from this symbol, not the other way around.
I feel I'm having problems explainig this in english, sorry.

Hola Matti:
Thank you for your explanation about the origin of the name Vasa.
Interpreting your explanation I understand the origin of the name comes from the word vasakärve probably to show the abundance of wealth and prosperity that gives "bundle of seeds" and so become as a symbol of the King. Is that so?
Saludos, Karl
PS. Nice display cabinet. I must to do one to protect the model.

I just finished my Vasa model, and I realize I do not know the meaning of Vasa (or Wasa?). Try to look at Google as well as the Swedish translators but without result.
Maybe you can satisfy my curiosity. Saludos, Karl -
