WackoWolf Posted February 16, 2013 #9 Posted February 16, 2013 She is coming along very smooth. Still a long way to go. Keep the post and pictures coming. Wacko Joe Go MSW :)
Dominik Posted February 16, 2013 #10 Posted February 16, 2013 Very nice build so far. If you haven't done so already, I recommend you visit the Wasa museum in Stockholm. Not only do you get a lot of inspiration (not that you would need it), but it is also impressive to see the ship in real. Keep up the good work! --- Current build: Rattlesnake 1781 (Mamoli)
JanV Posted February 16, 2013 #11 Posted February 16, 2013 Good to see you also back here Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard
DiKri Posted February 20, 2013 Author #13 Posted February 20, 2013 Thank you all for your reactions. Dominik, visiting the Wasa museum is something that I will certainly try to do. For now, I'm building the model as intended by Corel, knowing well that it will not reflect the original completely. Current build: Wasa (Corel) Already build: HMS Fly (Victory Models)
DiKri Posted March 20, 2013 Author #14 Posted March 20, 2013 Further work has been done on some details on the deck. I also started with attaching the decoration. Shipyard sid 1 Current build: Wasa (Corel) Already build: HMS Fly (Victory Models)

casper1961 Posted May 14, 2013 #19 Posted May 14, 2013 Hey Dirk! I have a thought for you to try if you like...have you thought about applying a dark wash to the gold details...this should settle in the low spots and highlight (accentuate) the highspots (details) ? It might make the details in the castings stand out and be even more pronounced without taking away the golden look! Just a thought...maybe to try on a separate piece...if it doesn't work just add varsol or alcohol depending on whether you use an oil based wash or a water based wash.... Steve Built: Charles W.

Steve Thanks for the suggestion. I will consider testing it. I don't have dark wax in the house now; so I will need to buy some first :-) Current build: Wasa (Corel) Already build: HMS Fly (Victory Models)

casper1961 Posted May 15, 2013 #22 Posted May 15, 2013 Hey Dirk Not sure if something was lost in translation but as a wash, I meant a very thinned dark paint like 20:1 thinner to paint and using either oil based or water base based paints. You can try difference ratios of thinner to paint but this should give you a starting point. I and many others use this technique in military model painting to bring out details and then dry brush lighter colours on the highlights...but with this I would just add the wash and then wipe off the excess . I wasn't meaning a wax.... Hope this helps clarify my friend. Cheers Steve Karleop 1 Built: Charles W.

Ulises Victoria Posted December 18, 2013 #28 Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Hello Dirk. First time I come to see your work. Splendid!!! Keep on sending photos.!!! Edited December 18, 2013 by Ulises Victoria There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT. Current Project Build Log: Soleil Royal in 1/72. Kit by Artesania Latina. Last finished projects: Royal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons Future projects already in my stash: Panart: San Felipe 1/75; OcCre: Santísima Trinidad 1/90; Wish List: 1/64 Amati Victory, HMS Enterprise in 1/48 by CAF models. So much to build, so little time!
DiKri Posted December 18, 2013 Author #29 Posted December 18, 2013 Hello Dirk. First time I come to see your work. Splendid!!! Keep on sending photos.!!! Thanks! I am already following your build a long time and this has been a great help for me. Current build: Wasa (Corel) Already build: HMS Fly (Victory Models)
DiKri Posted March 10, 2014 Author #30 Posted March 10, 2014 All masts and spars are ready with blocks attached according to the Corel plans. I placed the masts on the hull just for the photo. The background isn't what it should be, but nice pictures is for later... Next I experimented a little bit with a Bosch PLL5 laser pen as help in aligning the masts. Seems to be very helpfull... marktiedens and cristikc 2 Current build: Wasa (Corel) Already build: HMS Fly (Victory Models)
