Hi Sjors - thanks & welcome to my log! As you can see, I have changed a number of things about the kit such as the hull planking. My belaying pins are wood,but not long enough to go through the pin racks,so I made the racks thinner☺️. My wood sheets seem to match the drawings,but some parts don`t match the picture instructions or the photos of the finished model🤨. I see that you have taken over the build from your wife - nice of you to continue a great looking build. I`m working on the gun carriages & just found out that the dummy barrels for the second gun deck don`t match the barrels of the full size guns of that deck - different size & different shape😥. Also,the order of building does not seem logical to me in some places,so I am skipping around a bit. Thanks for bringing the popcorn - I was getting a bit hungry😊.

It’s not a problem to mail OcCre when you have missing parts, they send it right away.
But i was asking about the belaying pins and all i’ve got back the answer.....we are sending you the missing parts and a day later ,we do not send it because you have the plastic (short) ones.
So i have to remake the pinrails......
I’m happy that i have a lot of spare wood from my Aggy.
And Mr. Pucko.....i see that you are from Sweden.
Only nice people lives there 🙃😝

I also got a wrong plywood sheet, or I got two of the same sheet and one sheet missing. I wrote Occre and they sent the missing one within a week.... no problems for me...
I got a lot of wooden belaying pins with the kit, more than I needed. I think Occre likes me better than you guys.... 😀😀😀
(In the spanish part list it says wooden belaying pins, but in the english one it says metal for some reason...)

Hi Mark,
I was just reading your log and you are doing a great job!
Thanks for showing me how to work
At some of the first posts you are saying that this is your last kit from OcCre.
I have build a few kits from OcCre but this is sometimes a search for something that is not there.
For example the belaying pins.
I wrote an to mail to OcCre and the only belaying pins that they have are the plastic ones...
So I ask them why they give us on the part list metal ones and extended.
They don't give me an answer on that.
Also one of the wooden sheets is wrong.
It don't mach with the drawings.....
Beware of that !
So for me this is also the last kit from OcCre for us.
I think I will stay with Caldecraft the next time.
Then I see that you are looking for a popcorn machine.
There in the corner there is a nice place.

That's spot on, on the other side you are quite proud when you actually made a ship of that heap of wood...

puckotred got a reaction from Rik Thistle in New to ship modelling? But what do you build first?
My first wooden model was HMS Badger from Caldercraft. Except for the quality of the wood (that almost put me off the whole shipmodel thing) the kit was a wonderful entry to wood ship building. The instructions are step by step all the way. The rigging part took you from start point, up to this block, down to that block and behind this line down to belaying point.... I still take a glance at these instructions when I do the rigging on models where rigging instructions are just a bunch of red lines on a drawing...

Remember that Dusek is now reissuing the Mamoli kits. Quality can not be compared to the old kits before the fire...

Exactly, cant complain about the wood, some stuff was redone and Daniel is always willing to send parts if something is missing, also it's nice communicating with him on any topic.

puckotred got a reaction from Jörgen in Vasa by puckotred - DeAgostini - Scale 1:65
Just to show what great stuff this kit has:
64mm without the tail.
A great chunk of a figurehead!

DeAgostini gives me a second set of notebooks and parts. Therefore, if I have more time I will make the next model my own way. It will be dark wood with a black finish and the decorations will be golden only under red. The naq nave's coat of arms will be colorful.

puckotred got a reaction from Dwight in VASA by dziadek4444 - DeAgostini - 1:65
This is how I made the rudder. I guess the original is more elaborate, but it's better than what DeAgostini wants you to do.
The deck. On the original almost no planks have the same width due to different nationalities working with different measurements. I did four butt shift
No where near the original but better than DeAgostini...
And here is the big problem. Theres almost no space to work on trying to do a good keel planking. This is my third attempt under way before she went in the closet waiting until all shipments have arrived.
I found the thin strips easy to peel off and easy to sand off, so when you have taken the pictures for your blog you could always replank the keel and rudder...
You are doing a great job, and I wish I could do the painting you do.. I am way behind on that. Being colorblind takes away the fun in painting hundreds of figures...
