Simply stunning work Anthony and I was just wondering where you got the flickering LEDs Briliant job my friend Martyn -
Thanks for the likes . Cheers for looking in Michael and the brilliant comments A bit more done on the SR . To break up the ratlines I have made up some of the upper masts and fitted some of the braces fore and aft as I needed a break from tying nearly 3000 half hitch,s and still quite a few to go. Thanks for following I am off to do some more ratlines Martyn

It has been a pleasure to watch this stunning build come together Michael .The work you have put in has lifted this model to another level Martyn

Hi Michael I have got myself some crew for my Sol they are made by Red Box 16-17c British sailors 1.72 scale so should be just the right scale for your Vasa . Hope this helps Martyn

Stunning work as always Michael. I think the lantern looks good and certainly better than the fantasy one offered by Corel Looking forward to seeing your next update m8 . I went to Portsmouth last year and the Mary Rose museum is brilliant well worth a visit Martyn

Cheers for the comments EJ I think everyone has one of these but hayho Still fitting the ratlines but have broken them up by fitting the mane stay and crowfoot, but it's on with the ratlines Martyn

What a brilliant idea with the frames Chuck. Let me know when this is on sale as I will be first in the queue Martyn

Cheers for the comments EJ . The Vasa was a nightmare to build as the instructions were rubbish and the ship was so historically inaccurate I very nearly gave up but plodded on . She is not the best I have built but hayho Martyn

Thanks for the brilliant comments Michael she is slowly coming together and here's a few pics of the Vasa for you. Not quite up to yours but after the problems I had with it but not to bad Martyn

Now moving on to the mainmast . Once all the lower masts have been completed its on to the next level. Thanks for following Martyn

I'm not sure but the flag looks like the cross of St George so the picture might have been taken on St George,s day Martyn

Glad it was only the car that was damaged and not yourself but I would be mortified if I owned a car like that and someone crashed into it . They have done a great job at the body shop Happy holidays my friend Martyn

Thanks for the likes and looking in All the carvings have been fitted to the stern so have cracked on with fitting the smaller cannons to the upper decks. I have made some small blocks for the out haul tackle as the kit blocks are to large. Once rigged up some rope coils where added. A few more to do but slowly getting there Thanks for looking Martyn
-
Superb work on those ropes they look brilliant I will certainly be pinching that idea Martyn
