The construction of Vasa ships has been postponed for some time.

There was also the problem of obtaining wood materials, so I decided to start by buying another kit.

This is the kit I've always been interested in.

Please excuse me for not being familiar with English while writing the production log.

I worked on the 1st rib part

[Lee J H]

The manual says to work with curves, but I couldn't do that.

[Lee J H]

The space between the ribs was stuffed with balsa wood.

Although this process is cumbersome, it is a good job for the overall line.

[Katsumoto]

That looks very good! Fairing of the hull looks excellent! Well done so far and you are going fast....

A very good idea, nice work. 

[Lee J H]

Spring is coming in Korea.
The daily temperature difference between morning and evening is more than 15 degrees.

Clean up the side of the ribs.
Where it's lacking, you have to cover it up and grind it.

 

[Lee J H]

Before the first planking, do balsa wood filling on the side.

 

[Lee J H]

The planking material of this kit is 1.5mm thick.
It is thinner than 2mm, so it is easier to handle than 1.5mm, but if there are many steps, the probability of holes increases when sanding.

 

After the first planking, sanding and gunfire work remained.

[Lee J H]

It was sanded.

Sandpaper No. 100 to 150.

If there is another process of using adhesive above, it seems to be a bit slippery if sanded finely, so always finish sanding the first flanking surface at 150 grit.

[Lee J H]

Remove the traces of bond on the side of the hull and perform reinforcement work.

[Lee J H]

I was conflicted with one more thing.

This lowest part, the Gun Deck, is a place that cannot be seen unless the lattice window of the Main Deck is opened.

Reserve space for the Bowsprit in advance.

[Lee J H]

Draw the gunport and start the drilling work.

[Lee J H]

Finished drilling the gun gate.

[Lee J H]

The bag included in the kit was wide, so after cutting it in half, I sanded it down with sandpaper to shorten the width a bit.

[Lee J H]

The cannon was painted using the three paints below.

[Lee J H]

I made a Carrige on the Gun Deck. These are hidden by the Main Deck and are not visible, so I made it simple.
I also made a door frame and attached it.

Now let's start laying the deck.

[Lee J H]

Pear wood was used, and paper was inserted into the gaps.

[Lee J H]

After sanding it with 220 sandpaper, I sanded and nailed the wood. Printer ink was used as the dyeing material.

[Lee J H]

Although the result is not as good as the brass wire, the result was satisfactory in its own way.

[Lee J H]

Bollards were installed on the gundette before work on the main deck.
