Mario, its a grand slam..... MIchael -
I'm working on Corel's Wasa. She is my second build, the first was some 40 years ago. There should be a link just below my posts. Thanks for your interest. Regards, Michael
-
Theo, Your canon carriages are in one word STUNNING. Regards, Michael
-
Andy, Just went through your build for the second time. So impressive. Beautiful. Your copper, canons, masts all are so well articulated in miniature. Really special. The Pegasus requires a lot of precise talent, you certainly fit that bill. Congrats... PS: Lov the drill/lathe. You win the Rudd Goldberg Award for that one. Regards, Michael
-
Andy, HUGE thanks. Ran into your link while surfing through Randy's beautiful SF build. I've been thinking on how to "fix" the chain-mail supplied for my build. Your link has, I think, exactly what I need. (:-) I also discovered morope here Hmmmmm. regards Michael
-
Hello Robb, I'm happy that I linked on your build. It will be a pleasure to follow along. PS: I'm glad that you are better, and yes have many more birthdays (:-) Regards Michael

Bob, Hi welcome to MSW (I'm a newbie as well). Your CS looks to be astonishing. Your attention to factual details is super impressive. I look forward to following your progress. Congrats...nice choice for a build. The new rebuilt museum for this ship looks awesome. I need to get there one of these days (:-) Regards Michael
-
Matti, Thanks..Yes it is rather dark at the museum. When I visited there in the 90's, had I known that I was going to build this kit, I would have taken so many more photos. I flew to Stockholm just to see the Vasa (I was working in London at the time) What an astonishing experience. Its as though one could time travel.. PS: Loved the Steig Larson books, what a story (:-) What a sad ending for him. Regards, Michael

Joachim, thanks for the clarification. Matti that may be a great help. Please get better, and I will wait for some possible information after you Visit the Vasa museum. Yes, I think that your are most probably correct; the holes are plain and should be a bit lower than my mark. Matti Could do also take a better picture of this drain hole of the pic just bello?. Its just above and to the right of the canon door. There is a square timber that has a drain in it. This drain is also on all of the plans sheets that I have, Thanks Regards Michael

Hi everyone, It's so nice to be back to my "peaceful" life. I have missed many updates from those whom I follow, as well as some new builds that I have just discovered (One of which is Victorian Steam Launch 1/26 by Mario OH my) What a pleasure to spend time at MSW. So here is a minor update with the Wasa. But this small update has caused me some frustration, as you have noted above. Firstly thank you Jan and Joachim for offering help. The issue is with the last photo of this update below. I made a pencil mark along the deck. This is where I need to drill the holes on each side of the weather deck. These holes would connect to the exit holes in pic. 5. So how should I shape the exit on the deck? Should the sides of the holes be wide? Should the deck planking be cut into as well? At the end of the day, of course, it's a stupid place to be puzzled, and probably borders on minor obsession. I hope that you enjoy looking at this minor move forward. As always, Regards Michael

JP, STUNNING !! PS: Don't hide all of this mastery (:-) Regards, Michael
-
Jan, Thank you. Yes I do know all of these photos and have looked at all of them many times. In this instance, I can't see what I'm looking for. I need to see the openings from the deck itself, as if I were standing on the deck. I am installing the hull exits. Thanks anyway I appreciate your posting. Regards Michael
-
Mario, I happened to just have posted something and in the "kits under const...." section, yours looked interesting so "clicked in" OMG I have just discovered an other amazing artist. So beautiful - love your work. The engine is, of course, insanely perfect. Your wood detailing also speaks for itself. Awesome build. I look forward to your updates, as I will now follow. PS: the book and the cup are so "over the top" PERFECT. Regards, Michael
-
Joachim, Yes, I remember. In fact you sent me several photos of the running rigging. I looked for that book on Amazon USA and there was one seller that had it for sale, printing 1883 or thereabouts. His asking price $1,250.00 USD. You have a rare book (:-) There is ONE thing maybe you could help me with. Regarding the water drain holes, I am working on the lower, upper gun decks Easy!!.And I just installed the drains for the weather deck (on the sides of the hull) However, here is the question. I do not have any photos, that I can find that show me how to make the holes on the edges of the deck itself. Would you have a photo or drawing that gives an example? I plan on drilling small holes at the weather deck edges in any case. However, I would prefer to see how it was really supposed to look. Thanks in advance. If you don't have a reference don't worry (:-) Thanks for following my build, very kind of you... Regards, Michael
-
Theo, Hmmm superb work on your planking. Especially when you have only "one shot" at it. Beautiful.. Regards, Michael
-
Ilham, Hello. I discovered your build when you posted some comments about Ferit's Berlin. Oh what a beautiful build. So perfect. I will return to your build read, and look at everything carefully very from the beginning. I will enjoy reading all of your comments. I'm sure that I will also learn so much. I will also look at your other beautiful work with the link that you provided. Congratulations on your artistic talents. A pleasure for the senses, Regards, Michael

Alexandru, Your quality of work could not possibly improve. Astonishing. Always amazing to look at your updates. Your historical knowledge of this ship runs in parallel with your build. Regards, Michael
-
Buck, Just catching up on your project. Whoa your miniature detail work is spectacular. I remember loving the axe, well you've outdone yourself again. Supper cool. Your gorgeous super sweet little whale skiff will be so full of amazing supplies that it might not float (:-) Lov it...cheers PS: Thanks for the reviews on the Optivisor lights. On my list...to order from Amazon Michael

Matti, I like the look. good choice. She's really coming along very beautifully. Michael

Nigel, I am so happy that I discovered your build. Oh My, this is one of those absolutely spectacular projects. Your hull planking is, well, sooo excellent. Your prow deck grating details are so beautiful to look at. Yes, agreed with the votes, and your decision not to paint the hull. I will learn so much from your build. Astonishing. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I imagine that your "beginnings" were lost when the old server went to Mars? As a "newbie" I certainly have missed a lot... Several of you "Old World" English guys are doing some amazing builds (:-) As an American colonist. I need to really catch up, assuming that I can.... Regards, Michael

Anja, Hello. I'm a happy new member to MSW (in fact I did send a contribution) that aside, I have seen your nice smiling picture all over the place (:-) I finally dropped in to see your builds; Oh no - we need more and more pictures !! those two look soooo nice. Regards, Michael
-
Joachim, Beautiful photos. Beautiful sail boat. How nice that must be to sail in such a nice ship with your family all together. Thanks for sharing with us. Krla waterfalls look so beautiful. PS: I have always wanted to visit Dubrovnik, especially now after it has been "repaired" One day I will. Regards, Michael
-
Joachim, I had noticed that you had not updated us for a while. I will be so happy to, again, look at your beautiful Vespucci, as well as looking at photos of your sailing adventures. Very nice and peaceful moments with nature on the water. It must be very enjoyable. Sailplanes always fascinated me, but I never flew in one. Good for you that you have had the experience. By the way, I occasionally get "stuck" with my Wasa, I then go and look at photos of yours for help (:-) I am just starting to add the two gun decks, and weather deck hull water drain holes. I like how you did yours--I will copy thanks. Now I need to go see your build -missed it (:-) Regards, Michael
-
Janos, Thank you.. As we say here "go for it"....It is a very special ship that has so much documented information behind it. In that regard it is a 16th century build that one can replicate more easily. Of course there is ALWAYS the HMS Victory (:-) Thanks for your nice post Regards Michael
-
Peter, OH I just thought of something....have you been to this AMAZING place?? Watch it in 1080 and full screen (:-) Michael (It's on my list)
