marktiedens got a reaction from GrandpaPhil in Vasa by marktiedens - FINISHED - Sergal - scale 1:60
FINISHED! I decided to add a stern lantern to finish it off. There are still a number of errors but I am fairly satisfied how it came out. I want to thank everyone for all the loos & likes during the build.The problem now is where to put it - it`s almost 4 ft long. An even bigger problem is deciding what to build next I will try to put a few more pics in the gallery.

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...........

Build log part 52
Starting with the masting, and the top platforms.
as I have no milling Equipment the mast dowels are being filed down to the required measurements
shaping, fore, main and mizzen
it worked dfine so far and the main top platform has a tight fit within the rated dimensions
the lower cheeks are fitted, the upper cheeks will be of ply
B.E once showed a wonderful tuteral for Platform Ratings, more orientated on Steel`s dimensions rather than the plans dimensions. Here the main top is 59,5 mm broad instead of 56 mm
Thanks to B.E. for this Research !
The fastening Points for the blocks are prefitted. The outer platform rim is of 3 mm ply and the Slots for the deadeye tacke are ready, as well as the 16 0,5 mm holes for the crows feet lines
the threstle timbers are quite sturdy

marktiedens reacted to Ulises Victoria in Royal Louis 1780 by Ulises Victoria - FINISHED - Mamoli - Scale 1/90 - French 126-gun ship
Update August 5 2014
Finished planking the fore deck. This will be a highly visible area, so care was taken to do it the best I could. What remains unplanked at the edges, will be finished once the bulwarks are built with the first and second hull planking. The plan is to do the two outside hull planking, cut the tips of the bulkheads, finish the remaining deck planking to cover the broken tips, and last finish with the two layers that will form the inner bulwarks. (Is this clear??? )
Thanks for visiting.

Thanks Frank - no I do not have the book. Either a copy or sketch would be fine. I may get the rigging book by Fred at the museum when it comes out later in the year.

Karl - no sails. I find it very difficult to get them to look right.I might attempt some furled sails on my next build. Thanks also to you & Janos for your nice comments.

Hello!
First off, thanks again for all the likes and comments!
Continuing on, I worked on the figurines attached to the sides of the railings. (7 on each side).
The first thing I did was grind down one side to thin them out and allow them to fit better on the ship.
Next I gold leafed all the figurines and placed them on the ship.
Now I am starting to work on all the gunport (lids and cannon)
Thanks,
Frank

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.

Hello Cristi
Looks like you will be busy for quite a while. I built the older version of this kit many years ago & really enjoyed it.

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

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
