Thanks Joe!
Thanks also Michael.Luckily for me those small decorations in the openings are castings included in the kit although they were difficult to paint because of their tiny size. They are not entirely accurate but considering the age of the kit they look ok if you don`t look too close.

Thanks.Lots more figures to paint.Many of them are incorrect but the one nice thing is they are all laid out on sticky cardboard in the positions that they go on the ship.

I have had good luck drilling pieces like this by lightly clamping them in a small vise with the grain parallel to the vise jaws so it can`t separate.

Thanks Matti - after being a Saab mechanic for 30 years I tend to like things of Swedish design.

I have come up with a fix for those awful looking cupolas.I decided to cut them down & plank the insides of the decorations.Only took 4 nights to do one but it looks much better.Now on to painting,painting,& more painting.

I have come up eith a way to simulate the white crescents on the gallery roofs.I got some card stock & cut out half circles with my leather punch.
Then I cut it off.
Then I cut more half circles off the other side & trimmed it a bit with a precision cutter.
I don`t know what it will look like on the model until I get them all glued on.

Great build you have going there.Still working on changes to my Sergal kit after viewing yours & other builds of this unique ship.

Hello everyone.Sorry about starting this log in the middle of the build but I was to this point when I joined MSW.The build has gone relatively well to this point.All the laser cut parts fit together with very little adjustments.First & second planking went well - decided not to treenail the hull.I am attempting to paint the ship similar to the model at the Vasa museum.I say similar because many of the castings are not correct - probably due to the kit being designed before all the decorations were known.Please let me know how the pictures come through since I do not have any edit or reply option buttons on this page.
