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


Recommended Posts

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

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 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.

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

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

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.

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.

Cheers,
Wim
