The flags in the Corel Kit are also only printed in one side, and I am also looking for better flags

for previous models I had good experience with these flags

http://www.modelflags.com/acatalog/S01_SWEDEN_National_Flag.html

qualitity is very good and double sided 

i am discussing together with some local modelbuilding friends to place an order there for some flags.

Concerning the sails I am also following the sizes according Frank's log. I have to check again Karl's log.

But in order to save time and make it realistic, during the first and only trip of the Vasa only 4 sails were set.

2 on the foremast, middle one on the main mast and the lowest one on the Mizzen mast (I am not so familair with the names of the sails in English)

this is based on information from the museum

Hi Sjors

enjoy the rigging, the most "exiting" part of our hobby

So we can expect a lot of Vasa builders in the near future. At least a lot of people starting this kit  

I know the booklets provided with other kits like the HMS Victory and these are provide with good instructions and a lot of historical information.

This Vasa can be seen on the Dutch event for historic shipmodels

so all followers in the Netherlands or Belgium are invited

Sorry to hear Sjors, but a good decision. You as builder will always see such errors, but lucky you noticed this now and not in a later stage.

Hi guys

do not bother El Nino is lost and now in Western Europe

Michael I am looking forward to see your mice finished as this is something I need to do also shortly

looks great.

do you have the part number from Corel for this nice lantern?

Sjors, now the "nicest" job starts with the rigging

Hi Frank, 

I am planning to do finalization of the rigging in the Living so she gets used to the model

looks perfect. now looking for a good location in your living to show this beauty.

No more words Frank: Perfect

looks very good Remco

I would love to make such a model once 

Just noticed your build. nice to see this model here. I am planning to visit the replica build in Harlingen next year.

Rigging is an big phase in the build. Finish line is coming..

I have the same problem with my Vasa but maybe some progress in Duizel next year

Noted that I missed some latest postings. 

I expect to continue during the X-mas holiday period (14 days off from work )

in the meantime a smal project in between

the Golden Yacht, a ship in a bottle

Hello Rob,

I just noted your buildlog today. welcome to the group of Vasa builders

a lot of examples available on this forum.

Good to see you back Sjors. Also greetings to Anja.

Nice to see this Aggy again in process.

According information of Fred Hocker the book Vasa II is delayed till Easter 2016. so after issuance of the book we can revise the rigging

I made the wrapping on the fore and main mast according Corels instructions and based on information of Dutch standards in shipbuilding.

I am using information from the replica of the Batavia also

Looks very nice Mark.

I need to restart mine build .

Using your buildlog will surely help
