Can anyone help with the best glue to use for these items , Thanks eddie Eddie, This will solve ALL of your problems. Use a very very small amount– it is thick, will adhere in a few seconds. It will attach anything to anything. Used this for all of my Vasa gilded bits+++. Use it for only FOR specific applications. Once you use it you will determine the best use for this product. It is great. If you need to move a piece - after glue has settled - just slowly pull the piece away – the dried glue will, like a rubber band, also pull away and can be completely removed leaving no glue marks on either bit. It will be difficult to pull away but it can be done. PS: used it for the ballast rocks – perfect.

BLACK VIKING Posted July 17, 2019 Share #71 Posted July 17, 2019 Hi Eddie looking good my friend. Just a bit of a heads up just make sure the back of the galleries are as flat as possible and I was a bit worried that there wasn't enough of an edge to glue the galleries to the hull so I added two blocks of balsa glued to the inside of the galleries so I could use PVA and ca to fix them securely. Hope this helps Martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps Martyn Thank you Martin .It’s funny you brought this up as I was also thinking maybe putting pins in the hull to take the weight while the glue is drying. I appreciate your thoughts. It’s certainly an interesting part of the build now. eddie Quote Current Projects: Souvereign of the Seas by De Agostini Sciabecco.

RickyGene Posted August 3, 2019 Share #81 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) Like your mad skills. This is one of my bucket list projects to do someday hopefully. About 10 years ago a fella offered me a book, full scale drawings/plans and lost wax castings for the all the fittings/figures. He was a kind soul who wanted to know it would be used to scratch build the Vasa. I believe the scale was 1/72 if I remember right. He was asking $500.00 and I had just moved into a new built house and funds were having to be used wisely. Sadly I passed on it, but if ever again, will be purchased. If I remember correctly, the plans were drawn up using the real Vasa. The lost wax castings were brass and miniature pieces of art. The plans, 8 sheets covered as much of the hull as built as you were willing to put into her. The full size profile would have been magnificent framed. The book covered every aspect of the History and the build. I have never again seen this anywhere offered for sale. One of those once in a life time. Enjoying your thread. Also noticed you are working on a De Agostini Sovereign of the Seas. I have never tried one of these parts as you go kits, but they were offering her for 1USD + ship first months pkg and 25% off the remaining order as they ship. Pulled the trigger.

Rick😎 Hi Rick, I finished the SOS last year and it is a beautiful kit. DeAgostini makes a beautiful kit and high quality materials. It was a very enjoyable experience. I find the Vasa a more complicated task but such a joy to work on. Eddie GrandpaPhil, J11, JeffT and 1 other 4 Quote Current Projects: Souvereign of the Seas by De Agostini Sciabecco.

RickyGene Posted August 3, 2019 Share #83 Posted August 3, 2019 Simply breath taking build. Is there a build thread for SOS. Seeing your build and how wonderful she can turn out, has me chomping at the bits now for mine. But will take 12 months to get all the material. Did you order any plans/drawings while building. I can order a set from the Dromedary in Texas, but they are not cheap! Thanks so very much Eddie for sharing your craftmanship and skills.
