Wasa 1628 by JanV - Corel - scale 1:75 - Vasa

[JanV]

I see also a lot of simularities with other kits in the used figures, this was one of the points I already noticed in the selection phase of this kit.

this will not be 100% correct according the original, only the items which can be changed I will change. (see earlier discussions in 2011/2012 on our Dutch Forum)

 

the Lion will be golded, so I used the yellow as a primer

[amateur]

Yes, for gold, yellow may be a better choice as a base.

continued with the painting work

 

 

[JanV]

in the Old MSW there was a topic from a Swedish person (Robbox?) with several nice pictures of the painted model in scale 1:10 in the Vasa Museum 

 

does anyone perhaps has a copy of this topic or these pictures

my only good

source for the colors is now this website:

Thanks Jan for these links, I thought I saw the complete site of the Museet, but I must for sure also check the Swedish part in detail.

[JanV]

finally i got time/permission to continue with the paintings work

 

 

furthermore started with finalizing the railing

 

 

 

and a dryfit for the first canon to mark the correct point for making the opening.

noticed that I also have to paint the canons

Looking great Jan! Keep the updates coming.

[JanV]

Thanks for passing by Matti. updates will come, this week I expect to have some extra time available for this build, but after next week (enjoying a week holiday), I am going to slow down, as my boss requires me then to be back to work and I expect to have some trips abroad.

The color of walnut is looking attractive as and with the paintings...

[JanV]

continued with the paintingwork

JanV,

 

I'm very much enjoying following your version of this build. 

 

Regards, Michael

[JanV]

finally glued the attributes on the bow

 

 

and continued with the railing

 

[JanV]

continued with the bow-part

 

 

[NAZGÛL]

Looks great. Love to see the bow area added.

Jan,

 

Nice update. I'm going to follow your lead and revisit my bowsprit lion, I really like the colors that you chose for the crest emblem. Mine were a pure guess and poorly done.

 

Matti was discussing the lion paws. They should separate on each side of the timbers. But Corel's guilded piece does not allow for that. A minor issue, but one that makes us more aware of kit errors as we go along. Keep up the really nice work.

 

Regards,

 

Michael

[JanV]

today finalized the first part of the railing

 

 

hopeful to finalize the last decks by tommorow

 

[JanV]

and some figures painted (basic colors)

 

 

[Anja]

Hello Jan,

 

Beautiful work. I really love the bow section, just wonderful.

 

Take care,

 

Anja

[JanV]

thanks for visiting my log Anja and to all who liked my posts

 

weatherforecast for today will promisse a lot of modelbuilding time instead of sitting in the sun

so hopeful my family will not disturb me so I can stay in my workshop today

[JanV]

finalized this part after over 500 pieces of wood

 

[JanV]

adjusted the correct locations of the canons

 

 

and then made the openings

 

 

 

furthermore also continued with the galleries

 

[ZyXuz]

the bow's decoration is just beautiful!

 

I tot the dome on the gallery will be provided with the kit! OMG

making the Vasa really skill testing, and you executed them well!

 

hope to see them complete soon

[JanV]

I am making some modifications to the original kit, based on pictures as taken during my visit to the museum and from other builders like 

http://modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/329-wasa-by-md1400cs-corel-175/

 

do not expect a soon completion as I am still working for my job and do have little spare time for this build

Handrails... Handrails...

Unending job you had finished... Well done...

[JanV]

and then you have to consider that there should an extra handrail. but as this will be to fragile during this stage of the build I am waiting for that till my build is almost ready.

 

[NAZGÛL]

Im quite nervous about starting the top rails also...

Hi Jan,

I just found your build log,  wow... this is beautiful work!  I can't believe the detail you are accomplishing at this scale,  your figures are glorious!

looking forward to following your build.

 

best wishes

Hi Jan,

 

Nice progress you've made.

 

If the handrail is too small in scale, it's maybe better to consider not to make one.
