Hello, thanks for sharing the hint&tip with the flag. I will use it in my Pandora (in 2 years time  ).

Greetings,

Paweł

According to the AoS HMS Pandora was a six-plank shift ship.

Hi ,a quick report. I have managed to finish the captain's office and the fore deck. It takes a lot of time but the results do not seem to be so obnoxious, I hope...

Great rope!!!

Hi,

I can't wait to see more pics!

I'm really impressed with your work. Superb!

You have inspired me with these LED lights I'm going to apply them in my HMS Pandora.

Your model is going to be lovely. Good job

Paweł

With planking like this you won't need the second layer and you save time - lots of time

Beautiful.

Very nice model The rivets look perfect. The colour is also outstanding. Are you going to modify the shields attached to the kit?

I started with the keel. I had to make it straight. Now everything's fine. I must say that the parts (most of them) fit nicely (apart from the bow's reinforcements).

I want to add some LEDS in the stern's part.

Any ideas what would be the best solution? I will ask today in my local shop but any cooments are still welcome

Hi Matti,

It's goood if you may compare your model t the existing one Wonderful work on the deadeyes. I'm observing your progress and day by day Vasa is becoming more beautiful.

Cheers,

Paweł

I'm considering purchasing such a tool, too. It makes making some parts really cool (like yours  )

Unbelievable details like the boxes for flags. I agree that your log is full of ideas. I'm going to use some of them

Regards,

Paweł

I really like the details. Perfect progress. I'm waiting for more.

The windows are almost ready...

The white stripes are very helpful to immitate the parts of the windows.

A very nice result! Now the rigging awaits you

Take your time. The plates are thin but make haste slowly

Regards,

Paweł

Today, I have been thinking of the windows. The metal cast was not empty so I had to drill out the windows. Maybe they are not as perfect as I would wish but...

I thought of cutting out a piece transparent foil and using a piece of white sticker paper. I cut out the horizontal and perpendicular stripes, glued them to the foil and - look at the outcome. I think it's not so bad, don't you?

Here I go again,

Having completed Santa Maria, I am going to start building Pandora.

Now the keel is going to be "straighted" I put some clamps and the keel between the planks and I hope they will manage. 

More photos soon,

Paweł

Thanks Vivian,

My next model is HMS Pandora. I have placed some photos so far.

Few pictures of the last progress. 

I must admit that Santa Maria is FINISHED

Beautiful!!!

It's going to be a pretty nice model. I will be watching your steps

Good luck!
