    Finally the Vasa is finished. Thanjs for all the support during the build. Started in 2011 but had a long stop due to various private issues. Next model will be a Fluyt from Kolderstok models

    question to all other Vasa builders: is there any record which sails have been on the Vasa during her maiden trip in 1628? I have some input from a animated movie of the Vasa Fore mast: lower and middle sail Main Mast: middle sail Mizen mast: lower (triangle sail) I am working to start with the sails also and intend to have only the saile as used on the maiden trip

    On the Dutch forum we had a lot of discussions about this. I decided to use the light colored ropes for thd ratlines, also I like this combination more myself

    After long period of no model building due to moving to new house and renovations I decided to restart with a standard kit. In the mean time build some RC kits (Hovercraft and DF65 Sailing boat) fo use within the Modelclub Selection was made for this small Battle station from Panart. Once this is finished I will restart with the Wasa I need no to check how I can share pictures. Log will follow shortly

    Looks very good Andre. I will review your log, when I start finishing my model after a stop of more than 4 years.

    Hi Michael, This is a very nice lantern. It will be a challenge to come close for all other Vasa (Corel) builders😀

    Hi Michael Just found your build log for the first time (had a long break due to work in our new house) I noticed the same high quality like with your Vasa. You got me very good idea's which I also might use, I am planning to make an Cross Section of an Dutch 17Century ship from scratch. Log to follow during 2019.

    just before Christmas finished my new workshop area. now to build an special table for sawing and sanding tools including automatic vacuum cleaner which start automatic when I start one of the tools I will make some pictures when Vasa returns to the workshop.

    Finally received the new bookcase with a nice place to show the Vasa already. and also on an other bookcase a nice spot for my Statenjacht

    Michael I have enjoyed your build and have learned a lot for modifitications I have/am going to copy on my Vasa also. Looking forward to your new build log.

    Looks great Andre.

    That lantern looks great. I myself decided to skip this for the time being, but I will try to search some archives from Maritim Museums in the Netherlands to find pictures of paintings from that period which might give a good idea, but when I am in this stage that will take some years. I can further agree with you concerning the quality of the blocks provided in the kit, these are perfect to start the BBQ in the summer, and I bought the same type of blocks a few year back at a shop in Poland, which was easier for shipment within Europe and no risk for extra custom charges. I am going to save a lot of your log for future use as I am starting to finalize the rigging shortly and can use a lot of your information.

    We have completed the renovation of our living and kitchen Just an impression with the Vasa already present. Just waiting now for a final cabinet on which a place is reserved already for the Vasa (even in progress) Further I have re-organised my wood. This is an old cabinet used for drawings (aged back to 1960) and will be used also by my wife for the storage of her hobby paper for Origami.

    Still following your build and can still not believe you are building the same kit as I am building. This looks like a scale 1:50 instead of the 1:75 of Corel I am saving some pictures for when I am at that stage. At this moment my build is on hold due to renovation of our house.
  24. JanV
    Due to reconstruction activities in our living and kitchen the modelbuilding is now on full stop. I hope to restart in spring again after my new workshop is ready. maybe in the coming period some activities during the meetings within our local model club.
