Thunder Posted March 28, 2021 #3 Posted March 28, 2021 Does look good. Wasn't sure they were still producing kits. Why do modelling companies always have a ship sailing one way but the flags flowing another. Do they think the ship will be moving so fast that the flags will fly out behind?!!

James H Posted March 28, 2021 #4 Posted March 28, 2021 For me, I can't understand why paint the hull brown 🤔 Surely better to use nice, quality timber and varnish, surely? md1400cs, AJClark, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote SAY NO TO PIRACY.

At the time naval ships could use either rectangular or the "three tongued" flag used today. We just don't know for certain what was used on Vasa. Personally, I think it looks better with the three tounged. Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote

It can be problematic if your laptop doesn't have a drive, like my MacBook Pro. I took the disc to work to have it transferred to a USB drive so I can access for my review. Another problem is that I don't like to have my Mac in the workshop due to dust, so the only real option is to have it printed.

rshousha Posted March 28, 2021 #11 Posted March 28, 2021 From what I understand, the material used in those flags had a magnetic property that used St. Elmo's fire to create a reverse energy that made them flow against the wind. I have never found that fabric, but I know it's out there. BIGMAC, mtaylor and marktiedens 1 2 Quote Rick Shousha Montreal
