    Hey all! Last days I've managed to do some more details. The railing was less problems to get in place than I imagined. It fitted very well to the shape of the ship. It was a good advice to do it last Nigel as its fragile by it's nature. The ropes holding the anchor and the others hanging will be corrected when the model is positioned on the stand and I can tell how it should hang.
     

     

     

     

     

     

     
    And with this it turns out I'm done with the model. It's a mixed feeling as I'm happy to have reached my goal but also feel a little sad as I'll miss working on it and talking to you all about it. It has been a great inspiration and source of knowledge, so thanks eveyone for the help and support!
     
    These will likely be the last outdoor pctures of her and I will now start on the case so more to come.

    Wasa turned out amazing. A true masterpiece.

    Hey all! Here are some progress pics:
     
    I've put the ropes on the anchors. I based them on the description in Landströms book.

     
    I want to have a svabel so I scratched one.

     
     
    And here I have rigged one of the anchors, the svabel. I also made and positioned the penterbalk but it's not showing on the pics.

    Congratulations on the completion of a magnificent model mate    It has been a joy to follow along and I look forward to seeing her in the case.I think your method of displaying the masts is a great idea and one worth considering as an alternative to stub masts if you don't wish to contend with displaying a model of full height.
     
    Kind Regards
