I use a dremel cut off wheel.

Nice job Ian.

Perhaps my build log is interesting for you.

I bought the flags from this german supplier.

Very good quality.

beautiful job!

Just a question: could you recommend a good book about Wasa which shows good pictures of the carved decorations? I would like to carve a few of them  but I haven't got good pictures as yet. I have seen her last summer and took some photos and also searched the Internet for those. I found lots of pictures but not the real 'normal' ones which would show the decorations (first of all the tafferel) 'normal' ie. without too much distortion.

I did it also the easy way and ordered the flags from

http://www.schiffsmodellflaggen.de/english/Catalog/catalog.html

also printed double sided.

Please check the entry for the "Wasa" from Billing Boats, the nation is Swedish not Swiss.

Thanks Frank

Thanks Mark, but yours looks better.

All others thanks for the likes

Hello Mark,

thanks for your info

rgds Lin Feng

Looks very nice.

Maybe I missed something from your build log, how did you manage the problem with the chain plates? because in my Sergal-kit they are too short.

Best regards

Lin Feng

 Is there no lantern included in your kit? there is one in my Sergal kit.

Hi Matti,

fantastic job, I also admire your scratch build cannon barrels. My Sergal kit contains only one size of 43 mm long barrels for the upper decks. I want to try if I can also build the longer and thinner barrels, as you made it. Do you have any measurements of this barrel in relation to the other cannons on the upper decks.

Cheers Lin Feng

Thanks WakoWolf

Some progress. Plywood parts of the kit which will be seen after assembling are made new with pear wood.

The price of 2,850 $ cannot be correct as you can see here:

Congratulation to your new toy.

Hi Everyone,

 

revised posting  from yesterday's 

 

Part 1 of 2; chain-plate installations.

 

Nothing new here, I've mirrored how most of you install these when there are no bracing timbers above or below the plates. In regard to this build there is, of course, an other error.

 

The chain-plates, above the galleries, are to be attached to the hull upon, or just below large longitudinal timbers that run the length of the upper outer hull. I did not install these on each side. In deference to Corel their instructions were correct, I just missed it. I have an idea for a fix.

 

Again, thanks to all of you for spending time here.

 

Regards,

 

Michael

Hi Michael,

I made it the same way, but I think you mean the "Channels", chain plates are different things.

Cheers

Some Progress:

Completed Port Rail and inner Bulwark

Anyone know where I can find a correct rigging plan ?I am to the point that I would like to establish the belaying points on the deck & hull.My Sergal plans appear to be totally wrong.I do have the corel plans but I don`t know how accurate they are.

Maybe following will help. There is also a belaying plan on the site

Looks really beautifull.

Small update

In the meantime I placed the doors in position and the bulkheads between.

Lin Feng

Your Vasa is really impressive

Thanks Mark. I also follow your build log, which is very impressiv and far ahead.
