Feathermerchant Posted August 12, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2023 The WASA, a royal Swedish vessel with 64 guns sank in the waters around Stockholm on the day it was launched (10 August 1628) as the result of a violent gust of wind. The ship settled in 35 m of water. Construction on the vessel started in 1625, under the direction of the Dutch architect Henrik Hybertsson. While some guns and a few other objects had been recovered earlier, it was only possible to bring the ship to the surface in 1956. Partially rebuilt and restored, the WASA was installed in the Wasa Museum in Stockholm in 1958.Our reproduction of the WASA is based on the excellent graphic reproductions published by the Board of the Museum. Corel's Wasa wooden model ship kit includes more than 350 gilded cast metal decorations designed by sculptor V. Marino of Milan. 64 turned brass canon barrels, fittings in walnut, beech, copper and brass. Hull is double-planked in basswood and walnut. Includes 9 large sheets of plans and step-by-step instructions. This advanced kit is for those who are looking to build a masterpiece of a model.

Azzoun Posted August 14, 2023 Share #2 Posted August 14, 2023 It'd be helpful if you posted photos of the kit so people can see how intact it is considering you're already disclosing damage to the product. GLWS mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
