JanV Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share #213 Posted October 5, 2014 I am following the drawings of Corel to prepare the masts. My builds are now in a slow speed due to work and private issues. I hope that the book Vasa II will be issued this year so I can correct some high visibel parys in the rigging NAZGÛL 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...

CptNautilus Posted October 24, 2014 Share #218 Posted October 24, 2014 How are you tying those tiny knots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanV Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share #219 Posted October 24, 2014 I fix those knots with a solution of 75% white wood glue and 25 % water. I tried first 50%/50% but then the fixation was not so good I made first 2 double knots with a very thin line above the block and then fix this with a pensel.

SgtSki in MI Posted December 26, 2014 Share #224 Posted December 26, 2014 A very nice build log! I am fascinated by ships that have been recovered and are being preserved. I have a few other projects to complete before I begin my first wooden ship model (Model Shipways US Brig Niagara). When I complete it and improve my skills, I plan on building an example of a recovered ship such as the Vasa or the Mary Rose. Quote "Any officer can get by on his sergeant. To be a sergeant you really have to know your stuff. I'd rather be an outstanding sergeant than just another officer." - SgtMaj Daniel J. Daly, USMC, 1921. Tom Current Builds: 1.

fmodajr Posted May 14, 2015 Share #233 Posted May 14, 2015 Jan, Great idea for the turntable. I have been going crazy rotating my model from side to side with the rigging. I'll have to look into something like yours! Thanks, Frank md1400cs and edmay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JanV Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share #235 Posted May 14, 2015 Correct Frank, rotating the model increases the change of unwanted damage. I have seen this turntable somewhere else on a forum and noted that I had also one which was used for our old Television.

marktiedens Posted June 22, 2015 Share #237 Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Jan - in answer to your question about the rigging,I will put a link to the Vasa forum where I have gotten much information. http://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/thread/97/rigging If you search through the other sections you can find many little bits of information - it`s kind of scattered around. Also if you have any specific questions someone there usually knows the answer. /Mark Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanV Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share #238 Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks Mark, I will start study these topics. I hoped that the book Vasa II would be ready earlier, but I understood that Fred Hocker is busy with other things I am also searching now a good translation in the English terms vs the Dutch terms and I will also verify this information in copies of old Dutch books This will become my Summer school marktiedens 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...

Hi Jan, I look forward to hearing more about this tool. Anything that can make the rigging process easier and better would definitely be of interest!!
