End of Build Day 32.
4 hours today.
109 hours into build in total. I just wanted to play a little bit with the upholstery (dry-fit) just out of curiosity. This is the status at the moment. Thanks for watching. -

Ventilations for the front "bedroom" beneath the deck. It is also possible to just paint the surface black in order to simulate a hole, but I went the extra mile and drilled real holes. It looks cool when you put on a light in the bedroom.
The metal blind dry-fitted:

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 -

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.

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,

Ok, I'll go along with the frames as they are. just me getting picky with age I guess
Thanks all for input.

Bob: If you look at the last photo on page 6 there's a quite a dent in the planking
But the Italians seem to be more worried with the sturdiness of the hull. Wonder why, it's a static model after all.
oh well, We'll have to see. It might do with some sanding and such in the end...

Zoltan: thank you!! been looking for builds for ages! Great!!
Bob: The parts are numbered by assembly. So 8,9 and 10 are frames. 11 is the third part of the keel, 11a is the reinforcement of the keel joint. 12,13 and 14 are the frames on that part of the keel. Next will probably be frame 15, 16 the 4th part of keel with 16a being reinforcement and frames 17,18 and so on.
Looks like a mess in writing but makes sense when you're building the stuff.

Bob: The frame is too wide, and probably the whole shape differs between those two frames. But I contacted Edition Atlas who sent the complaint to the main office, and hopefully they send it along to DeAgostini so I can discuss with someone in charge of the lasercutting. And there is no other build logs
Dr Per: No choking. Just a long "what the f***..." (You can add a infinite number of asterisks here) And yes, I go for the laser error.

Zoltan: yes I know. But nothing happened there since 30th of May. (Maybe something made him give up ) It was that last picture from the rear that got me checking my frame actually. One can clearly see frame 9 sticking out.
Bob: this is my disadvantage. Them having to replace the lot.
If DeAgostini won't help me I guess I could try and copy the shapes of the frames on slips of paper stuck in between the reinforcements. Then sand away on one frame and add wood on the other...
Either way, big mistake from me not checking thoroughly and from them missing this in production.
(Or, I'm totally mistaken here That would be embarrassing...)
Well well, on to painting decorations!!!
-
puckotred got a reaction from EJ_L in Vasa by puckotred - DeAgostini - Scale 1:65
I completely forgot the decorations:
The two Cherubs:
Lions for gunports:
Stern decoration:
And the knight:
But all is not well in paradise.
It looks like there's something wrong with frame number 9.
Look at this:
I wonder if frame 9 and 10 should switch places.
On the right frame 8, this is how frame 10 looks like.
as does frame 12,13 and 14.
View from the bottom:
I know there is a inward curve here but not as severe as this.
I will have to contact someone about this one way or another. The same mismatch is in the manual also. But it still seems wrong. And of course I have glued the frames well, with the deck on top fixed with AC.

jan, I think it will be built up something like this Victory build:
Some kind of filler system....

End of Build Day 31.
3 hours today.
105 hours into build in total. This is the status after today. Tomorrow I hope I can proceed more with deck details. Thanks for watching. -
puckotred reacted to baskerbosse in Vasa 1627 by baskerbosse - Scale 1/75 - ex Corel now scratch using museum plans
I know this is not strictly in chronological order.
In actuality, the deck was planked at the same time as the hull, but here i'm showing it afterwards:
First waterways:
Both sides:
The planking might look random, but it is an exact copy from the museum plans.
The deck planks are of highly different lengths and widths:
Main deck planking finished. King planks and waterways are basswood.
Next, the problem of fixing the gratings. Corel has them just glued on top of the deck.
(In actuality, they sit between the king planks, flush with the deck)

Hi Mates,
Thanks for the clicks and the comments.
PKD thanks for deciding to follow along. Welcome to the shipyard.
Also Ferit, as usual, you are always so helpful. Thanks for your photo/notation. Funny my eyes never saw the forward carriage wood inserts. Totally missed this.
Will add them to the falconet carriages, though they will probably be hidden from view. But I so appreciate you pointing this out. And, of course, all of the other weather deck carriages are also missing those bits ha ha...
Cheers,

Excellent details again...
Do you think to add there (light green area) a block of wood Michael?
( Excuse me for my obsession of asking questions like this...)

I don't think it is being picky. It looks like all the frame 6's are like this so i am sure you are not the first to bring the matter up with the manufacturers. If they have prior notice that there is a problem they should either fix it or at least add a note to the instructions to let the builder know an adjustment is needed. remember we pay good money for these kits especially part works and they should be respectful of that. (I can dream i suppose)

Morning Gentlemen,
Having some experience with building the DeAgostini Victory, I can tell you that sanding/filing some bulkheads to shape is common. Yes, I would say it is an error in the way it was cut, but they expect the modeler to correct it themselves by either filing and/or sanding it to the correct shape when it becomes time to plank the model. I experienced the exact same thing with my Victory. Not a big deal to correct, really.
Regards
Craig
