Brewerpaul Posted March 10, 2021 Share #61 Posted March 10, 2021 I just came across this build, years later, but I just wanted to give my compliments on a beautiful completion of a fascinating historic ship. If anyone is still following this, why is the standing rigging white rather than the usual black or dark brown? Maybe I missed the explanation in the build log.

Ian Barefoot Posted July 6, 2021 Share #63 Posted July 6, 2021 Patrick - Congratulations - a stunning build! If you're interested I have some images of the carvings on the starboard side aft. Only two are painted anyway - according to Fred Hoeker they are of the King & Queen of Poland (Gustav Vasa was at war with them at the time...). Not surprisingly, he is depicted as a drunkard and she as a harlot!

Sonny Skipper Posted November 17, 2021 Share #64 Posted November 17, 2021 Very nice build Backer. Love to visit the Wasa museum one day and see the real ship. Must be very impressive. Baker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
