JanV Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share #274 Posted July 7, 2017 Due to change of policies from Photobucket all pictures are blocked (can be released by paying $ 400,00) I am going to setup an new photo sharing system on my own account as I am posting on various forums. within a few weeks I expect to post some new pictures and summary of the build.

cog Posted July 8, 2017 Share #276 Posted July 8, 2017 Nice work, Jan. Didn't know this gallery, although I've seen quite a few of them.

JanV Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share #277 Posted July 8, 2017 Hi Carl, the gallery is made with PIWIGO a standard application provided by my provider. I have free storage of 10GB, so this can be workable for years now. It is not doable to update all previous postings in MSW, as when opening for editing I cannot see the original filenames quickly. But this gallery is a good alternative. cog 1 Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanV Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share #281 Posted February 10, 2018 We have completed the renovation of our living and kitchen Just an impression with the Vasa already present. Just waiting now for a final cabinet on which a place is reserved already for the Vasa (even in progress) Further I have re-organised my wood. This is an old cabinet used for drawings (aged back to 1960) and will be used also by my wife for the storage of her hobby paper for Origami. md1400cs, marktiedens, zappto and 2 others 5 Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre Posted January 16, 2022 Share #286 Posted January 16, 2022 Welcome back Jan! Good to see that your Vasa built is continueing! I see that you have white color for the horizontal parts of the ratlines. Most others (including myself) use dark color. Why the ligher color?

JanV Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share #287 Posted January 16, 2022 On the Dutch forum we had a lot of discussions about this. I decided to use the light colored ropes for thd ratlines, also I like this combination more myself Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanV Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share #288 Posted January 21, 2022 question to all other Vasa builders: is there any record which sails have been on the Vasa during her maiden trip in 1628? I have some input from a animated movie of the Vasa Fore mast: lower and middle sail Main Mast: middle sail Mizen mast: lower (triangle sail) I am working to start with the sails also and intend to have only the saile as used on the maiden trip Quote Jan V. current build: Vasa-1628 Corel / Battle Station Mantua/Panart, previous: Statenjacht / Cross section HMS Victory / diorama shipyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyK Posted January 21, 2022 Share #289 Posted January 21, 2022 I ordered my sample of Vasa now (the name is changed to Vasa) from Artesania today, this ship has been a life long desire to build. Jan you are doing a very nice job on one of Swedens biggest failures that changed into a very big success, only it took 300 years. The Swedish king meant this ship to be the most frightening vessel on the sea that is why all this figures exist just to scare the enemies. Though he was a little too keen on seing it to set sail. This ship did not even pass the "Rocking test" when it was set at sea in the harbour, the test was aborted as the ship was on its way to turn upside down. The ship was not correctly constructed from the very start, when it sunk there was a trial, whom ended up in no one was to blame. That depended on the King himself had approved all the drawings. Incompetent King <> Incompetent shipbuilder whos to blame? There are many stories, but I know for sure that it must have been very hard to convince a war mongering king about reality for any shipbuilder. I will follow your build Jan with interest keep up the good work. fmodajr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
