Snug Harbor Johnny Posted September 12, 2021 Share #218 Posted September 12, 2021 Your many rigging pictures are an answer to a prayer ... the rigging of this 'smaller Wasa' of 1627 can be a template for eventual finishing of my languishing 1:100 Billing Wasa (c.1970 kit). The mast p[roportions are great, and the Wasa only needs diminutive top gallants above the topsail yards. Sure, the Anderson book (and others) have good information, but your build shows step-by-step how its done - with every rope having a purpose. Kudos, and a toast to you !

mati Posted September 18, 2021 Author Share #221 Posted September 18, 2021 Hi All, I can't thank you enough for so many generous and nice comments and all likes! I really appreciate it! Thank you! It gives me so much motivation to make sure that the next model it is going to be perfect Thank you @mtaylor @GrandpaPhil @ccoyle @BobG I'm still not 100% sure what will be next... but I will make sure it will be interesting subject... @Snug Harbor Johnny Thank you I'm glad you finding my work helpful or where you can find some answers. That's right... for Vasa with a little bit of imagination you will be able to easily rig top gallants. However, it's more complex... Please have a look also at Witsen Pinas drawing from Ab Hoving publication. It was re-drawn by Cor Emke in higher resolution. It will give you possibility to zoom in and look closer at rigging... some of the solutions represent in his drawing can be applied to Vasa. https://nautarch.tamu.edu/shiplab/images/Pinas4 big.pdf Witsen - Tekeningen - Ab Hoving.pdf If you will have some doubts let me know... maybe I will be able to clarify something and help. Good luck! @Farbror Fartyg Thank you very much for your comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed my build Hopefully see you soon in my next build Keep calm and carry on building beautiful models Cheers, Matt mtaylor, Snug Harbor Johnny, Siggi52 and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJClark Posted October 4, 2021 Share #222 Posted October 4, 2021 This is the most perfect model I have ever seen. Mati your skills are amazing. I salute you. Alan mtaylor and Ondras71 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metaspace Posted September 13, 2022 Share #223 Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) What an amazing model!! Pure perfection! Coincidentally, my son and me have built the same ship, as a RC model (I have just created a thread). Where I had thought we have been quite true to the historic original, I have just learned we only have created a rough approximation, when looking at yours 🙂 Edited September 13, 2022 by Metaspace mtaylor and Ondras71 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
