  1. Bryan that looks really good, I do remember from opening my box I found the brass material oversized. Hope you have better material in your box.
  2. Y.T, at the time I have no idea what brought her down. Considering she was smaller with less mast height and slightly wider beam there are speculations there was other factors that brought her down. The conditions of her are really bad more torn up makes the researcher to believe she went down in a battle. The ship Vasa's little sister Falken found - Stockholm University
  3. Bryan, the hull planking of your Gretel looks amazing, I also have this Swedish ship in my stash to be built.
  4. Welcome onboard, as many has stated there are quite a few builds of the Bluenose. Enjoy your build and don't rush.
  5. That looks amazing, my 40 year old Constructo model is not finished yet and have a lot of brass parts as for superstucture.
  6. Phil, I love your history telling... which makes your build even more interesting.
  7. Hi Paul and a warm welcome to Model Ship World, it is a friendly place where you can get answers to your build questions. Greetings from a place half way between Seattle and Portland.
  8. Fascinating story and a warm welcome to MSW.
  9. After watching a video clip about full size plank bending where they used distilled vinegar, I thought to give this a shot. I am so happy I found that trick as it worked out very well for me. Vinegar breaks down the molecules and softens the wood, applying heat to get the curves and bending and you have the shape. The distilled vinegar doesn't change the color of the wood. Application time about 10 minutes
  10. Thanks for this info as I am in need of blades.
  11. I have this model waiting to be built...... sitting in the waiting room for some time. This hull of yours look very nice.
  12. Hej Mike, 

    Var exakt bor du i Stockholm? Bodde själv i Österskär och senare i Gröndal.
    Glad sommar till dig!

  13. The little sister of HMS Wasa, HMS Falken was recently confirmed found. Her state is not in any shape of recovery. More diving will commence
  14. Interesting tool, now that I have a mill this is some I would like to try to recreate. Oh, by the way, did someone said, "we are suckers for tools"?🙂
  15. The 2D needs to reworked for 3D and STL files.
  16. Mashuno, from the Pacific North West a warm
