Hola Michael:

I find this picture of the Wasa Museum, and regarding the upper yard hailing rope you are right. If you make a zoom on the picture you can see (unfortunately not very clearly) a sheave for the hailing rope.

Hi friends:

I am almost finishing the deck furniture (so many details!!  ).  Now  there are the Fife Rails, including the winches:

Saludos, Karl

Hola Michael:

I am sending you the drawings of the BB Wasa, I am not sure if they are correct or not (as many other parts in the instructions), but anyway is better something than nothing.

Saludos, Karl

Hola Andy:

Everything depends on the taste of everyone, but I am very satisfied with the green color I painted the POB hull. The important thing is the kind of green you use and of course that is your decision simply because is your ship.

Saludos, Karl

Hola Michael:

I am very glad that I could help you with the BB sheets, don´t hesitate to ask if you need a more specific picture or detail of rigging and sails.

You are doing a really splendid work with your Wasa.

Saludos Karl

Nirvana and Michael:

   Thank´s for your kind words

Hola a todos:

During the Holidays I had no much time to make some advances in my ship, nonetheless I finished some details:

After several tries I make the Step Pads using the Word program of my computer:

Also, some of the Bitts, the wood cleats to hang the Life rings and the Gun stowage blocks:

The channels:

The Cat Heads:

The Steps:

And finally, I varnished the Hull:

Saludos, Karl

Thanks Michael:

Now I see the difference, my smallest brush is the 10/0.

Saludos, Karl

Hola Michael:

First of all, Happy New year 2017 and hoping you will have an excellent 2017.

I am really impressed for your painting details of the warriors at the bowsprit, how do you accomplished them or what kind or brush size do you use? 

Saludos, Karl

Hola Ulises:

Something similar occurred to me with the "Pandora", fortunately I figured it out and also fixed the cannons before the stairs.

Also FELIZ NAVIDAD to you and all the MSW friends!!

   Karl.

Hola amigos:

Almost finishing this year and almost finishing the deck fittings and structure, now with the Binnacle, the Wheel Box and the small Vent box:

I want to take this opportunity to send my best wishes for this Christmas and wish you all an excellent 2017!!

Saludos Karl

Hola a Todos:

After more than a week here is a new update.  First I finished the two lockers that laid close to the Galley access:

Also I install the eyebolts and skylights that run along the deck:

Saludos, Karl

Que tal Ulises:

  That is why it is always advisable to keep things that may be useful later.

Saludos Gracias!!

Hola:

A new update. I made the crew berthing and galley access trunk.  

The tricky part was the fire hydrant and hose because the Britannia part that comes with the kit makes it very difficult to add a hose. So I weld a couple of small brass nails simulating the hydrant.

To simulate the hose I used a thin electronic wire:

Thanks for viewing and for all the likes

Hola Ulises:

With that painting skills you really don´t need to make the boats from wood!!

Only a question, after the priming, did you use acrylic or oil paint?

Saludos

Hola Tigersteve:

To be your first model it is outstanding.  Felicidades!!!

Saludos, Karl 

Hi everybody:

After finishing the lockers I decided to follow with the lifeboat:

The most tricky part was to sand the interior because the kit comes with the "bread and butter"laser-cut lifts.  To accomplish this I glued only two of the lifts and before gluing another pair I carved and sanded the inner surface of the pairs. Nonetheless it is quite difficult to achieve a "perfect" soft interior.

Here you can see some pictures of the finished boat:

The cradles:

And the boat in it´s final position:

Saludos, Karl

Hallo Nils:

Thanks for your nice words   

Saludos aus Mexiko

Que tal Ulises:

Gracias!!  You are doing also an excellent work with your Royal Louis 

Saludos, Karl

Hola Ulises:

Your Tips will be very useful,  Thanks!!!

Saludos, Karl

Hola:

Now I finished the three lockers that surround the main salon trunk: the Life Jacket locker, the Rope Locker and the Diesel Pump Parts Box.

Here some pictures:

Saludos, Karl

Hallo Nils:

Thanks for your words, specially considering you are really a MASTER in ship modeling.  I saw your  "SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse" and let me without words!! Your work with wood and metal is astounding, probably you must consider writing a Book about Ship modeling. For sure I will be one of your readers.

Viele Grüße, Karl

Hola Don:

I really appreciate your kind words.

Saludos, Karl

Hola Mike:

There are a couple of things that really amaze me, that your little daughter is interested in building wood boat models (I am sure she will be an excellent engineer in the future !!) and second, the quality of the model. I had not seen kits with this quality for 95.00 and also where the hull planks came pre-cut. This greatly facilitates things, especially for beginners.

Please congratulate your daughter for her effort.

Saludos, Karl

Hi Friends:

Now another trunk finished, in this case the main salon trunk:

Saludos!!
