puckotred got a reaction from piratepete007 in Vasa by puckotred - DeAgostini - Scale 1:65
Bob:
The wood is great quality, as is the laser cut. I guess the pre marking helps a beginner a lot. You'll have to be illiterate and blind to glue the parts in the wrong place. (I hope this comment won't jump up and bite me later on...)
Jan:
I've been thinking of one of these:
Attached the frame and supports yesterday. Der FRAU has some strange idea that I should go to bed so I didn't post them last night...
Frame #7 (the 4th frame), foremast support and bottom "deck":
Cannon deck/frame supports glued on:
She'll be one big tub, 4th frame 172 mm wide!
Next is the anchor. Instructions say to paint it "metallic grey", gives the color code RAL 5011, which is labelled "Steel blue".
I'll probably go with Admirality's matt metal black.
We'll see.

I'm going crazy waiting like this. Hopefully there will be a longer building period when I get 4 issues a month...
In the meanwhile I have had some fun with Chuck's blocks:
Also tied ratlines on Amphion. Not as awful task as I remembered actually

Cobr@ and Patric: I will probably go with "matt metal black from Admirality. if nothing because I like that particulary paint. It really looks like the old painted cannons and anchors you see in museums etc.
Enemeink: I have visited that homepage before but forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me and giving me the link.
Tiny update:
The decoration:
And where it will go eventually:
The blue/white/red shield was a pain to paint, the whole thing only 20 mm high. Hopefully the fuzzy lines will not show as much when the whole stern is completed.
Now only the anchor left, then another 5-6 weeks of waiting. But next time theres 4 issues coming, maybe they will last a week at least...

I have attached the plans from Billing Boats on my build log.
If you can use them, feel free to download them.

Looks like the parts slot together nicely, always a good sign of a decent kit. I would go with black for the anchor too

Nice little decoration. The only upside of having to wait is it keeps your interest up wanting to build

Nice job on the shield. That will look great on the ship.
I agree that the wait times would definitely help in keeping the desire up to work on her. Having wait all those weeks in between steps would have me ready to get going every time that package showed up on my porch. On a plus side though, it would be great for allowing two builds to happen at the same time. Being able to work on a different one while waiting would help with the downtime and keep burnout from happening on either one.

At last the second shipment arrived!! 6 weeks of waiting has come to end. (For this time.) One of those weeks the shipment spent circulating around the neighborhood as it was too large to fit in our letterbox, and some moron at the post office could not copy my name and address from the parcel to a piece of paper without misspelling the lot.
Anyway, 2 issues with this shipment, next month there will be 4 issues so a little more to do then.
This is what I got today:
Parts for the deck:
One frame:
false keel part 2 and anchor stock:
One anchor:
Stern decoration:
A booklet:
Looks like most of it it is from this book:
I will start building frames and keel this evening so until then...

Second question:
That would be the whale. I glued mine to the frames. It seemed too thick to glue on top of a plank.
