mobbsie Posted November 11, 2013 Share #541 Posted November 11, 2013 Just checking in Matti, there's some very impressive work there mate, well done. Do you think the carving behind the lions head could be some sort of sea serpent, the tail seems to follow the line of the bow rails. mobbsie NAZGÛL 1 Quote mobbsie All mistakes are deliberate ( me ) Current Build:- HMS Schooner Pickle Completed Builds :- Panart 1/16 Armed Launch / Pinnace ( Completed ), Granado Cross Section 1/48 Harwich Bawley, Restoration, Thames Barge Edme, Repair / Restoration, Will Everard 1/67 Billings HMS Agamemnon 1781 - 1/64 Caldercraft Kit, HM Brig Badger, HM Bomb Vessel Granado, Thames Steam Launch Louise, Thames Barge Edme, Viking Dragon Boat Next Build :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marktiedens Posted November 12, 2013 Share #546 Posted November 12, 2013 My Sergal kit has this casting but I still don`t know what it is supposed to be so I just painted it about the right color. Also got my upper deck cannons done. I have been having problems getting pictures uploaded recently so I hope they came through ok.Keep getting error messages. mtaylor, firdajan, riverboat and 6 others 9 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAZGÛL Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share #553 Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) This week Ive been painting the sculptures that run below the bow. According to Landströms book it portrait the battle between Peleus and Thetis. I thinned the pieces down to make them thinner and sanded them to make them sit tight against the wood. The colors are muted variants of the 1:10 color scheme. I also thinned down and painted the Vasa shield for the lion. /Matti Edited November 16, 2013 by NAZGÛL NMBROOK, realworkingsailor, Paryzek and 4 others 7 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reklein Posted November 23, 2013 Share #561 Posted November 23, 2013 The bright colors on the Vasa make me think of a carousel or Mery-go-round and not a warship at at all. Can't imagine a modern sip being painted like that at all. Unless its a tour ship. Great job Matti.

philo426 Posted November 23, 2013 Share #562 Posted November 23, 2013 Hey Naz,what do you know about the smaller scale Wasa by Billings?I got a started kit from another member and i cant find much info on it!It is about half the size of your kit. NAZGÛL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAZGÛL Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share #563 Posted November 24, 2013 Bill, the royal ships were not just warships but also floating palaces used as symbols of power and for propaganda. The red was a royal color and at the time where she was built, bright colors were used by the powerful and the aesthetics was in the style of north german renaissance. I think its beautyful. Phil, Im not sure about your model, but the local hobbyshop had a really old Vasa model and I think it was a BB. It was from before they knew how she looked. You couldnt tell it was Vasa, but more a generic model of the ships from that time. It was about 50 cm. I cant tell if thats the same as yours, but if it is I would have made it a generic ship. Last week Ive been working on some sculptues. It took time to get them to get a good fit, thank good its plastic, as it allows for easy shaping. I have also made the knights cloaks and swords out of thin styrene sheet. Now its time to start with the emperors. /Matti marktiedens, riverboat, dafi and 4 others 7 Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philo426 Posted November 25, 2013 Share #570 Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) Yes you were right Naz,the kits drawing bears little resemblance to how the Wasa actually looks!Reminds me of a British naval vessel of the 18th Century!
