Beautiful work Fred! Those guns look great! I hope it’s motivating you to do the same to your Winnie.

I have to check my model when I get home but it does look a little high but your capstan looks built correctly. Is the lower part sitting all the way down into its position on the gun deck?

Very nice!
-
Thank you James. Yes indeed the cannons are fun, especially if you decide to rig them, I’m trying a new method of building them one at a time now as I need them. I’ll get there eventually.

That was awesome! -
Looks great Glenn, you’re coamings look nice and straight, off to a good start. The center planking definitely requires a lot of patience, many angles and widths but as you already know, it will pay dividends in the end. All those fun tools you have on your shop, I need to up my game!

Philips models are just incredible. I would go insane trying to build something that small, I can barely handle 1/72 scale!
-
What’s your timeframe for this? I just received my new laser cutter but have yet to set it up and likely won’t for another 5-6 months. But I would be willing to do the CAD work and cut them.

Hmm I have that book… I better dig it up and sift through it again. 🤔 I would love to properly attempt Vasa again in the future.
-
@Waldemar where did you find that monograph of Vasa? I have both of Fred Hockers books (that I’m aware of) and have never seen that drawing.

Siggi, I know what it’s like to be distracted by new toys and fair weather! But vey much Looking forward to seeing Tiger updates soon! Thanks for your update.
-
Hi Siggi, how’s Tiger coming along? Have you made any progress? We are all looking forward to your updates! JJ

I Pinned a few of my guns then just started gluing them down with PVA and they seem to be fine. Can’t say it will hold up should I drop my model though… just go slow like Chuck advises and do one at a time. You’ll be fine. Worst case scenario you could carefully remove a beam if you absolutely had to with lots of alcohol. I actually had to adjust two of the panels this way after I had glued them in.

Thanks Matt. I’m Just dragging along like a kid doing homework. Lol. I’ve got just one, about 90% complete in two days🤦♂️ We’re all in this together.
-
She looks great Rusty! Congratulations on the completion of the guns! Lol

Thanks guys, appreciate it. no rest here, I’m right back on guns and rigging away. Problem is I took too long of a break from them and I’m trying to find my way back. Been making some adjustments but I think I’ll be back on track soon. 8 to go then I can start chapter 8… the remaining 4 guns in the waist, well they can wait until chapter 12 lol!

No shame in laser cut pieces. I’d rather focus all my effort at making them fit well. Even though everything is laser cut, each piece still requires much attention to detail. Your Winnie is looking good, it’s going to start coming together now and then you can look forward to guns!
