JanV Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share #61 Posted June 18, 2013 Hi Wim, this handrail is something I want to do in the future, but at this time no preparations are made for that. I will first findout if other Wasa builders made this also in scale 1:75 and discuss with them about their experience.

NAZGÛL Posted June 23, 2013 Share #63 Posted June 23, 2013 Really nice work! I see alot of the original construction in your details. Theres a lot of work to get those inside walls of the bullwark to look like that. I like the weather deck planking also. Very realistic! /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md1400cs Posted June 25, 2013 Share #70 Posted June 25, 2013 Jan, Hi, Ive been away and just starting to catch up. Nice updates. I really like your galleries. Those layered timbers make a huge difference. Your mast bracing plates (channels) are going to be perfect. You really captured the edge curves. No nice to have photos as a guide (:-) I also really like your hull and deck planking. Looks so good. I'm happy to be back home and following my favorite builds Cheers.

Andre Posted July 20, 2013 Share #77 Posted July 20, 2013 Jan, In your Dutch build log you asked for feedback on why your bow roster was too high. As far as I could see on your pictures, it seems that you have attached the outer parts of the bow sections somewhat too high. I compared your bow section against mine (the level of my roster is somewhat below the hull level) and the curve of the outer parts ends somewhat lower in my build than in yours. At the time when I attached them, I checked with the brass figures how high these bow parts should be. Hope this helps..

JanV Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share #78 Posted July 20, 2013 Hi Andre, This point reminds me an hint I received from another Wasa builder to setup each item without glueing and check for further stages. I made this mistake and cannot correct all items anymore. But before fixing the outer parts I used the brass figures for the correct location, I will verify these again. another problem is that I made some modifications without checking the consequences to later stages, like the canon openings.

JanV Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share #79 Posted August 1, 2013 I have started to redo the bow section as there were some failures first the problem was that the planking in the bow section was not correct and second the doors were not correct after thinking this issue during my holiday in the sun with over 30 degrees I decided to remove the wrong parts and start again as the weather forecast for tomorrow is extreme high temperature (35 degrees) I might continue with an extra fan in my workshop. 4whelr 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...
md1400cs Posted August 1, 2013 Share #80 Posted August 1, 2013 Jan, Nice update, again I love the "old look" of your build. So you are also rebuilding areas that are not correct. Time consuming for sure, but after the fixes you will be much happier. They are worth the time and effort. If only we had known about these errors with the kits Before we started our builds (:-) Now that we have become "obsessed" its hard to move forward without first repairing the mistakes. Your bow doors will look much better. Too late for my incorrect doors.

md1400cs Posted August 4, 2013 Share #83 Posted August 4, 2013 Jan, I know that I have said this twice, but I so love the old look that you have so perfectly captured with your Vasa. This last photo is perfect. Are you thinking of aging the wooden decorative pieces as well? I notice that your weather deck canon decorative pieces are "fresh" looking. PS: Your galleries are so beautiful !!

JanV Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share #84 Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) I am still thinking about how to finish the wood. My first idea is to paint the wood partly in dark red like the 1:10 model in the Museum all decorations are already partly painted with matt paint (Humbroll) the old look you are refering to is done by using only wallnut wood. I replaced all other wood, specially the plywood parts at this time I did not use any paint or varnish to the wood the canons are directly out of the box as delivered by Corel, so no modifications or paint is done, I expect these deck items to be completed once the autumn has started. the galleries are a free impression based on your start.
