The gunport (doors) are painted, sorted the lionheads and placed them on the ports as dryfit.

Thank you Lawrence, looking forward to see what you do with your flags buddy.

I've been working on the main flag staff, trying to get it the way I want:

I can put it on the ship, but will not glue it stuck until later in the build:

Small update. Did the small round sculptures at the stern. They aren't included in the kit so I had to scratch them.

First one on the 1:10 model at the museum:

And here are mine:

The flower pattern is simplified, but was the best I could do at this scale.

basic figures mounted on the stern

some additional wooden strips needs to be added later.
and a new set windows as the supplied windows were to big.

Hi Mates,

Thanks for all of your very kind and supportive postings, like clicks, and also for just dropping by, all much appreciated.

Just finishing up the mizzenmast channels as well their corresponding chainplates and deadeyes. For these small and claustrophobically located deadeyes, I decided to pre-rig them. I did not trust my skills by waiting to thread the ropes. I will adjust the ropes once the shrouds are attached to the mast. They look as though they have not been threaded correctly, but they are ok, I just need to rotate the deadeyes back and forth a bit.

I know that the channel has been mounted too low, but that has been relegated to hindsight, because stern decorative pieces would not have positioned properly (too many gaps) had I lowered the upper galleries due to my miss-calculations during stern assembly. My fault - Grrrrr.

The last two pics. show the beginnings of the next bit; the two blocks that are mounted on those channels. I'm using balsa to create the proper shape, and angles (still a work-in-progress), and then I will cut two out of other wood.

The milling machine will get flipped on, hmmm - lets see if I can drill and groove out a proper space for the needed pulleys? On the plus-side pulleys are just already waiting in the wings for just a bit of weight loss on their sides ha ha....

Regards,

Michael

You are right, I made a miscalculation here.
I now see why I missed one other figure on the side galleries, I thought I lost one
Let me check if I can correct this, but that will be later this week as I have visitors this evening and I will not be allowed to go working in my model workshop

thanks for your nice comments.

I expect to continue tomorrow, nice sunday without any appointments, so all day working on the Vasa, hopefully, unless my wife has other plans.

As I am going to start with a big job in my livingroom (new floor and painting) I have made the standard as enclosed with the kit to store this kit safely during these activities. I need the workspace for my models to store and prepare paintings etc etc.
I expect to restart during my X-mas holidays but keep online regulary
