md1400cs Posted June 2, 2014 Share #183 Posted June 2, 2014 JanV, Nice update - looking very excellent. Did you paint your cannon door hinges, or did you use the blackening chemical? I have not decided what to do with mine yet (:-) 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...
JanV Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share #184 Posted June 2, 2014 Hi Michael, The hinges are chemical prepared, I used Brass Black for this. I do not like the unprepared brass for these boats I have with a previous model already some experience with this Brass Black and it is very good and quick to make the brass items perfect black. I do not know if this is available in a model store in the USA, but it is also used for guns so maybe a gun shop can help you with this.

md1400cs Posted June 2, 2014 Share #185 Posted June 2, 2014 JanV, Yes I discovered Brass Black on your build. I have been using it (Amazon) as I did for the cannon metal bits. It works very well. I'm happy that I found this product while following your build.

Karleop Posted June 18, 2014 Share #188 Posted June 18, 2014 Hola Janv: I know that your kit is different from mine but I would like to know how are the ropes of the higher spars of the Main mast are fixed to deck because I found two versions in the instructions of my kit, one in the Manual and the other in the Plan (nothing new) as you can see in the picture. The same applies to the foremast.

JanV Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share #189 Posted June 19, 2014 I did not study the rigging jet, I was waiting for the book Vasa II, but understood yesterday from Fred Hocker that this will take some extra time. I am planning to go through the rigging in detail during the summer period, hopefully having all the drawings on my garden table and with a lot of sun. I have also some background information available on my computer about the Dutch Rigging technics in that period, but I need to study that also. based on that study I will prepare all the masts with the correct fixed blocks etc. before finally mounting them.

Karleop Posted June 19, 2014 Share #190 Posted June 19, 2014 Hola Janv, I am waiting to have LESS sun to work comfortably, now we are at 38 C and at the capital of the state (Sonora) last week they broke record at 50 C!!! Mark made me a good observation and now I am seeing with detail the pictures of Clayton´s Vasa: https://sites.google.com/site/clayton707/vasa1628. This rigging will be a special challenge!!

fmodajr Posted June 20, 2014 Share #191 Posted June 20, 2014 JanV Nice job on the gunport lids! I will be doing mine in the next month or so and I like your method of installing the ropes to the gun ports! Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

md1400cs Posted June 21, 2014 Share #193 Posted June 21, 2014 started with the preparations of the mast. first a guidance for the sizing of the top of the masts (8x8mm) Jan, Good luck with the mast preparations. Unfortunate, but not unexpected that Vasa II would be delayed. However, from everything that I understand it will be a HUGE help for Vasa modelers. I'm sure that you have read F. Hocker's description on the Vasa specific web site regarding the book's contents. Your ship is looking excellent. This ship is becoming a popular build at MSW.

JanV Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share #194 Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks for your comments Michael. I hoped Vasa II would be issued before I start with the rigging. I am going to complete all the masts, but I will not start with the rigging. We are at this moment trying to sell our house and want to move than to a new bigger house. once started with the rigging, transport will be very difficult. but before I need to start with the rigging there is lots of work to do. If, what I do not hope, the sale of my house is delayed, I have some other models to complete also. we have now a growing group of Vasa builders here on MSW and we are learning more and more from each other as we are most of us almost in the same stage of completing the hull and preparing for the big rigging job. regards Jan Karleop 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...

marktiedens Posted August 11, 2014 Share #204 Posted August 11, 2014 Hello Jan Are you going to add the topgallant mast sections? I added them too mine because with the model being almost 4 feet long the masts seemed a little too short.I know a lot of modelers don`t add them due to space limitations or the want to show the ship as it looked on her maiden voyage.With or without them you still have a great looking model. /Mark Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanV Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share #205 Posted August 11, 2014 My plan at this moment is to use the drawings from Corel and provide the masts as shown on these drawings, so this should include the topgallant mast sections. As we are planning to move to a new use within the coming year, I have already agreed with my wife to prepare a good location in our new living room for the Vasa once completed. I am lucky for this as my wife also has a hobby with showing their results in the living room (origami) so this gave no discussions as some others will have to show a finished model in the living room. fmodajr and Karleop 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...
