NAZGÛL got a reaction from Blue Ensign in Wasan 1628 by Nazgul - FINISHED - Billing Boats Vasa 1:75
Hey all! Ok so I made the ratlines for the starboard side of the mainmast. Lots of beginner misstakes, but it was quite enjoyable work. To be honest shaping the dead eyes and metal parts for them was more challenging on the nerves as there where many stages. Once these are on you have a result. I like that as it gives energy to continue. I decided to do not go by a template, but did them freehand, by the eye and tried to look at the reference instead. I did end up with more rows then the original at the museum.
I still need to weather the ratlines and give a light coat of varnish to hide the CA but this is where Ï'm at now.

Hi Matti...
all the mates said it before: A GREAT Job on the Wasa so far. The planking and now the ratlines - you are a master of this work. And I really love the Kind of photography you do on your ship. The natural light gives he hull a more realistic view than any artifical light can do.
Cheerio my friend

Nicely done. I also spaced mine by eye to what looked correct, I didn`t count mine to see if I had the same number as the original . Since none of the original rigging survived I assume the museum took their best guess when rigging them,so it`s possible yours is more correct than theirs .

Fast and beautiful as always, I especially like the ratlines against the sky and the starboard bow photos.
Autumn has arrived, and the WASAN is much further along.
Fantastic Art Matti
