Dominik #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!

DiKri #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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiKri #14 Posted March 20, 2013 Further work has been done on some details on the deck. I also started with attaching the decoration. 1 Shipyard sid reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DiKri #17 Posted May 14, 2013 Time for some update. I finished the stern with all the decorations. I know that it does not reflect the original, but I like the gilden version. 7 tasmanian, fmodajr, JPett and 4 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casper1961 #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 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 :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

casper1961 #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 1 Karleop reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DiKri #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... 2 marktiedens and cristikc reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
