JanV reacted to md1400cs in Wasa by md1400cs - FINISHED - Corel - 1:75
Hi Mates,
A rather frustrating bit here with these falconets. First, as has been discussed Corel’s deck is too narrow. So carriages tend to be too close to each other in any case.
OK then the double blocks that I am using, as I had thought earlier, are a bit too large.
When laced with carriage single blocks they run into each other.
Then pulled the carriages away from the hull sides a bit, but as you can see they are (the carriages) way too close to each other now.
Then ha ha I also realized that the blocks and tackles were way too close to the cannons on each side.
After looking at the other installations, realized that cannon vertical framings are double pieces, allowing for the blocks to mount a bit away from the carriages (pic 4)
Well as you can see in last photo – time for a fix again.
Cheers as always,

I finally continued with the canons.
I had seen on MSW the method that I have used: glue together many strips of wood, so that the carriage profile is built up. Then I used my saw to cut slices from it. Of course, not all slices survived the sawing action, but I had made plenty.
I milled two lines in the wooden strips used for the bottom of the carriages. Here the axis of the wheels will fit into.
I had made some thin sheet of polyurethane in black color (I did so at work; I work in a coating company) of about 0.2 mm thinckness, from which I cut small strips to be used as wheels supports. These polyurethane strips are flexible and I could bend them somewhat.
all the stepts combined in one picture, including the wheels that I made from a 6 mm wood and drilling a 2 mm hole in them (I made a small holder in order to drill them all straigth and in the middel):
Next will be to add the wheel caps and attaching the axis & wheels to the canons.

I found flags on the internet of the Wasa from Corel.
For some reason they sent me two sets for the price of one
The flags are cut out and fitted with brass rings and then mounted on the masts.
Maybe there are more appropriate methods but I find its ok in this way.
My model is now finished
When I started in 2006 I wanted from the beginning to build a model as accurate as possible.
For my. This was not completely successful. But I'm happy with the result !!
( Apparently, the success rate to finnish your first wooden ship model is about 19%. So, happy my!! )
When I started to build i had just the pictures of my visit to the museum.
The drawings from Billing, a keel with frames that were partially built wrong and a box with wood and parts.
Then, there were no correct color schemes available.
So there is too mutch red paint on the hull. And the figures do not have the correct color.
And, I did too many nails into the hull .....
Conclusion
The model from Billing is a good model for a reasonable price.
But there is a lot of extra work on it.
Thanks to everyone who has followed my build log.
Now it is first study time for my next project
Greetings
Patrick

Hi Mates,
Thanks for the “likes” much appreciated, as well as for your visiting this shipyard.
Finished up the falconets. Install will be easy compared to the busy work that these little pieces required, but I am pleased with the results. Pics are self-explanatory so keeping this brief.
PS: I simulated the axle braces and the metal framings attaching cleats by using a small drill bit and barely indenting those surfaces. The illusion works well enough to look as if these parts are in fact properly attached to the carriages, I think J
The washers that became wheel caps were sourced from a model railroad hobby company. The washers are a bit too large, but I did not want to increase the size of the wheels. Close enough hmmm.
Cheers,

first I have to saw some pieces of wood for the frames and bended them
then started to fit these frames
next step will be the remaining frames in the bottom part, but that will be for the next time -

Very small update !
Because of the temp.
it's t hot to do anything.
High above the 34 C ( 93.4 F )
I have make the second planking for the upper part.
There must be some sanding,painting and oil for the part that should be not painted.
But first there are other things to do.
Like planking the deck and making the whales.
It can take a while before the next update.

Hi Mates,
Minor update, continuing work on the quarterdeck falconets; put together the needed block and tackles. Though I fear that the double blocks may be a size too big – not sure.
Ferit, as you can see I added your front framing (thanks for the tip).
Used small basswood strips, added a bit of a curve, painted and attached to carriage sides as axle and wheel supports.
I’ll post next after these two are installed.
Cheers,

This is something you see a lot in other kits
Try to hold a piece of wood over frames 7-8 and 10-11 and then define how much has to be removed or added, this will be the simplest way.
waiting for a correct one from DA will take a long time I expect.

Jan: Thanks for your input. you are right, but I can still give them some extra work in compensation for my extra
If 9 and 10 change place the curve would be smoother. (Outside part of reinforcement P2)
Also the inner shape of the frames indicate that 9 and 10 should change place:
All frames up to 8 have this little shelf, then 9 is straight and 10 has the shelf again. 12,13 and 14 are again straight. (red elipses = shelf, black = straight.)
So, anyone building this, do not glue frames 9 and 10 in place until this little problem is solved.
And yes, I should have seen this before I assembled and glued them but I was blinded by the otherwise excellent quality of the kit.

did you use glue which is water-soluble. if so use a injection neadle and spray some water at the point with the failure.
hopefully this part will then release and then you can carefully re-glue this again.
good luck

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments. Bill, I agree that it would have been nicer with some ship parts instead of the marker, but as I said : It's free, and as Bob said: Free is good
On to the build:
This shipments two first frames:
As usual the laser cutting is great. Just had to sand away a little of the charring and they fit nicely together.
The two "fillers" in the bow:
In my previous post you can see them as parts 2x2c.
3 frames and the "deck" mounted:
The last 3 frames:
And here mounted with the 3rd part of the keel:
And that was all of the hull for now. On to painting some decorations. They include two cherubs, two gunport lion heads and one knight. I also have to get more paint. Being color blind this is not my favorite shopping trip...
Until then...

Hi Mates,
Working on those falconets that seem to have also been on the Vasa.
Pic 1 from the 1/10th
Pic 2 are examples from Clayton Johnson’s build of all of the various canons that were cast for the ship. Here is a link to all of his work for the cannons (if you care to look) beautiful work
https://sites.google.com/site/clayton707/1-10-scale-vasa-artillery
Pic 3 falconets seem to have disappeared in more recent photos – hmmm?—
------- Wheels were cut from dowel. I rolled the dowel, not cutting clear through (for obvious reasons) then just sawed the inner bits. The carriages had been built at the same time that I put together the weather deck ones.
Used brass framing to articulate the metal framing for the carriages (simple tools helped) - not sure how to represent their attaching pins? May just let that bit go...
To be updated…..
PS: My big frustration with this ship (and all Vasa kits) has to do with all of the totally incorrect cannons that are supplied. But I understand – there were so many diff. size cannons mounted aboard that it would make this bit of detail cost prohibitive just for the Vasa kit. Let’s see if the DeAgostini 1/65 get’s these right???
Cheers,
