JanV Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share #91 Posted September 15, 2013 As I am going to start with a big job in my livingroom (new floor and painting) I have made the standard as enclosed with the kit to store this kit safely during these activities. I need the workspace for my models to store and prepare paintings etc etc. I expect to restart during my X-mas holidays but keep online regulary WackoWolf, cog and Jan R 3 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 September 17, 2013 Author Share #92 Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) A tip for all Vasa builders active here: There is a forum started by Clayton (known from his perfect scratch modell in 1:50 of the Vasa) and with a special section to ask questions to Fred Hockner (the Vasa Specialist working at the VasaMuseum and author of several Vasa books) This forum is replacing the old yahoo newsgroup which has become very user unfriendly. http://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/ Edited September 17, 2013 by JanV 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 September 21, 2013 Author Share #97 Posted September 21, 2013 Jan, I have seen the original model in Stockholm last year. My goal is to have globally the same impression as with the 1:10 model in Stockholm using the sculptures delivered with the kit by Corel. It could absolute not be identical as several structures are complete different with the original, but that is expected to be caused as the kit was designed already in the 70's and not modified based on the latest information. You can recall a discussion we had on a Dutch forum about this, after which I decided to build the kit as it is with modifications, but knowing that it could never be a good replica of the original in Stockholm. md1400cs 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 December 30, 2013 Share #111 Posted December 30, 2013 Jan, Nice progress. She is looking excellent. It looks as if you will also be adding the two side timbers that hold the anchors? I plan on doing this as well. There is a photo in Vasa I that shows those beams as well as in the Landström book. Nice detail work at the bow.

I will get this item and add the nails. Excellent.

JanV Posted December 31, 2013 Author Share #114 Posted December 31, 2013 This Brass Black is perfect for making brass parts black within seconds. I usually do some liquid in a small old cup and after use I return the liquid back in the bottle. this works now perfect for over 3-4 years now. I assume you found a local supplier for this (used also in wappons, so a wappon specialist can also be of help for this) wishing you and all other regualar visitors all the best for 2014 WackoWolf and marktiedens 2 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...
