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

Hi Mates,
Continuing onward with the carriage ropes and tackles installation.
After trying to install one completely assembled carriage with ropes attached, I found it to be too cumbersome and a pain in the @#&. That wasn’t going to work very well. Space was so limited and I needed to also, just below the upper blocks attach the hooks for the carriage stops. Too messy hmmm….
So, plan B; I completed all the rope/block assemblies for the14 carriages. Then chose to attach those to the weather deck first. Made a small hook so basic but so perfect ha ah…
Sliding in the cannons, then attaching the pins to each side of the carriages will be a breeze (I think). I can then adjust the ropes and tackles for a tight fit.
Have not decided how to display the left over rope lengths. The Vasa museum sort of hangs the excess on hooks near the rear of each carriage side. I’m short on length of the carriages, as they had to be shortened (Corel kit weather deck too narrow).
As noted from the just previous post, I wanted to emulate the 1/10th assembly with the use of small wooden pins. Used tooth pics. The results are acceptable, but I find that the scaling is a bit “off” My error, but still achieved the intent. Again thanks for dropping by and the Likes and comments always a pleasure.
Regards,
Michael

Continuing on,
I blackened all the hinges.
Also blackened all the eyelets for the ropes on the gun ports
Gold leafed the lion heads
Glued the hinges on.
Now I am working on adding the ropes to the eyelets.
Thanks,
Frank

Hola a todos!!
After a very occupied weeks I had only made small advances on my Vasa (besides and as you know, the rigging process represents much more work than it seems at first sight). Here a small update:
Additionally, and thanks to Frank who sends me a sketch of the anchor, I modified the plastic one that comes with the Kit
Thanks for watching and the likes,
Saludos, Karl

Hello I've been here for a long time did not appear. I decided to show you one of my work. This figure of an angel on the French Le Ambitieux. I love the model of this ship, which makes an Italian master. It was in his review and saw this figure of the angel. It wanted to try to do it yourself. And that's what happened. I did it for fun, it's not an order.
This photos from the competition, they were held in May in St. Petersburg. I went there to participate with their works.

Update time at the Aggy but also for the Fonz
Second planking and sanding of that on the Aggy is done !
It only takes me a couple of months to do it .
Now I need some filler at some places and sanding it again.
It has to be a smooth surface for the copperplates.
But...after the filling and sanding it's painting time !
Then I can start with the coppering.

the above described methode was not correct
I have redone this using an flexible wood in small strips
as I felt very good with this methode, I will now continue with the other 5 platforms -

A little more progress - all yards mounted. just a few more lines left like braces,anchors,flags,& a few misc.items.note the hooks & rings on the lower end of the mizzen lateen yard - I think this is correct.That light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter...........

Hi Mates,
A small update. Finally working on the carriage pulleys and ropes. What I thought would be monotonous has in fact been fun. I worked out, I think, a way of attaching the double pulleys to the weather deck in the same fashion as seen on the Vasa museum carriage reconstruction. I will work with bits of toothpick ends to fashion the braces.
Kudos to Syrene for Chucks excellent ropes and pulleys (:-)
Thanks so much for all of the "likes"as I slowly move forward......
Regards,
Michael

Hi there
After a week of working in some remodeling of my house I've barely had time to continue with my Vasa but here you can see that I had already put the bowsprit and some other details.
Thanks for all the likes, Saludos, Karl

Hello all. another little update - fore & main yards mounted & rigged except for the braces - they will be last. Tried to get pictures with a dark background so the light rigging shows up better.The running rigging is a little too light colored but I am not going to re-do it.

I now started to build the "Fish-Davit" that was used to help raise the flukes of the anchors. According to Landstrom's book, Vasa's fish davit was recovered. It was 230 inches long by 9.45 inches high by 10.6 inches wide. Also, according to Landstrom, each end of the davit was the same so it could be used on either side of the ship. So my thinking is that I will show my model with the davit on the starboard side and attach the anchor as if it is being raised with the help of the davit and I will show the anchor on the port side in the final stowed position.
The finished davit scaled down 1:75 made of walnut
Cutout of angled rectangle hole on both starboard and port side
Positioning of davit on starboard side
Opposite end wrapped and tied thru holes in deck
Thanks for the "likes" on my previous post!
