JanV Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share #122 Posted January 4, 2014 starboard side is now also painted. in order to get going on, I have already glued some attributes in front and rear side (as an activator for my self to continue after this holiday period ) WackoWolf, firdajan and marktiedens 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...
NAZGÛL Posted January 4, 2014 Share #123 Posted January 4, 2014 Looking good Jan! Great choice of red against the hull color. Your build is very clean. Things like that beakhead "floor" is really making this a great model. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md1400cs Posted January 5, 2014 Share #125 Posted January 5, 2014 JanV, Coming along beautifully. Nice work with the painting, so time consuming, but worth the effort. I really like your bow section, you have really captured the look of the 1:1 Congrats...Looks so great especially since its a Corel (:-) Michael Quote Michael Current build : Sovereign of the Seas 1/78 Sergal Under the table: Golden Hind - C Mamoli Oseberg - Billings 720 - Drakkar - Amati Completed: Santa Maria-Mantua -- Vasa-Corel - Santisima Trinidad cross section OcCre 1/90th Gallery : Santa Maria - Vasa - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateur Posted January 7, 2014 Share #126 Posted January 7, 2014 Isn't it scary to go 'top-down'? in case of mis-allignments, there is little room for correction... Stacking the stern-decorations bottom-up looks safer to me... Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanV Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share #127 Posted January 10, 2014 @ Jan: the attirbutes are already dry-fitted before I fixed this one. I know now that I need some extra fillers inbetween the figures as the figures dimensions are not exactly correct due to some changes by me. further ordered some extra attributes to replace the dolfins as delivered by Corel(Corel partnummer D304) WackoWolf 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 January 28, 2014 Author Share #131 Posted January 28, 2014 Question for the Corel builders of the Wasa. I am dry-fitting the figures and noted that I have to modify some of them as the angel is not correct, specially on the galleries Does anyone have any experience in adjusting these figures by bending or other technics. Thanks 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...
fmodajr Posted January 28, 2014 Share #132 Posted January 28, 2014 Hi Jan, I had the same problems with my figurines. I was able to put a carbide grinding bit onto my Dremel tool and grind the backs of the figurines to get the right curves and to thin them out.

JanV Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share #133 Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks Frank, I got that tip also elsewhere, but wanted to confirm this with someone with experience with the Wasa Corel kit 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 28, 2014 Share #134 Posted January 28, 2014 Jan, I also experienced that the curvature of the figurines did not match the gallery. I have grinded a little bit the back of the heads, and also made some dents in the galleries to accommodate the heads, for which I used my Proxxon-tool. Still the curvature did not really match the curvature of the gallery, but with some glue I was able to position the figurines straight. Success!!

Ulises Victoria Posted January 28, 2014 Share #135 Posted January 28, 2014 JanV. DO NOT try to bend them. They will break. Try using the grinding method mentioned above.

NAZGÛL Posted January 29, 2014 Share #136 Posted January 29, 2014 I suppose you could buy the plastic BB Vasa sculptures as spareparts? They are easy to thin down and shape around the difficult shapes like the galleries and towers so you could use them on those areas. /Matti Quote Billing Boats Vasa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanV Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share #137 Posted January 29, 2014 That is indead a good point for the Billing kit. I have already painted al figures and I am not going to change this anymore. I will check this weekend which and how many figures are having a problem.

JanV Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share #141 Posted February 9, 2014 Does anyone knows a website with very good pictures of the 1:10 model in the Museum which I can use for the painting as a guideline I am now using this as a reference, but not all details are complete shown. http://www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Vasa-Museet-Stockholm/Photos-Vasa-model.htm during my visit in Stockholm I made some pictures but due to the bad light in the museum, most of them were not good made (studid, I know) I can ask for a re-visit to my wife, but I assume she will not approve this visit edmay 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...
