puckotred got a reaction from tasmanian in Vasa by puckotred - DeAgostini - Scale 1:65
Hi all, and welcome
the cannon (probably the 3 or 1 pounder)
I think the quality is quite good. There are also 3 handles(or whatever it's called) to attach. Instructions say it should be painted bronze.
frame #5 is 170 mm wide! starting to get a feel of the size of the ship now! She'll be 109 cm long in the end...
This is as far you get with these first two issues.
Will do the gun carriage in the next few days, and some painting next week I hope. Then I'll have to wait four weeks for the next shipment.
I do this with mixed feelings. on one side the wait is good because you have the time to really get things right and put more effort in it.
(I'm the kind that have a urge to rush through to get my hands on the next step in the build)
Also I'll have time to finish off my stagecoach from Amati and do some serious work on my Pinco Genevese
On the other hand I HATE waiting for things to arrive. When I order stuff on the web I usually order from those who can deliver it in shortest possible time... And I have to wait for the Vasa parts 36 times over!!!
See you...

Small update;
Decoration for the stern is full of detail. Not ordinary white metal casting but more like the old die-cast cars way back when...
They sound like coins.
To be painted gold with blue,red and green details.
lasercut looks clean and good:
This could turn out to be a good kit...

Well, I got the first two issues today.
Unlike the Victory and such there is no magazine, only the building instructions.
There was also a poster of the Vasa.
3 frames, stern decorations, thread and one cannon is what you get in these first two issues.
I promised my 10-year old son that he could "help" me build it so I have to wait until he comes home from school before building can start.
I will continue later this evening.

puckotred got a reaction from Nirvana in Solö Ruff by Nirvana - Nordic Class Boats - 1:10 scale
When I had problems with my "Bohuslän" I contacted the Swedish company NCB. What a bunch of @#*!s. The respons was something like "oh, how bad..."
I then contacted the Turkmodel, they who make the models for NCB and they sent parts at once with apologies and "if there are any more problems contact us at once..."
So try contacting them directly...
