fmodajr Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share #151 Posted August 5, 2014 Hello Frank Do you happen to know how those davits are rigged to lift the anchor? I remember seeing a picture somewhere but can`t recall where. /Mark Hi Mark, Do you have Landstom's book on the Vasa? He shows the rigging on page 116. If you you do not have the book, let me know and I will make a copy of the page into a PDF and send it. Am I allowed to do that? If not, I'll hand draw a sketch for you! Let me know. Thanks, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktiedens Posted August 5, 2014 Share #152 Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks Frank - no I do not have the book. Either a copy or sketch would be fine. I may get the rigging book by Fred at the museum when it comes out later in the year. /Mark JanV 1 Quote current build - HMS Vanguard - Model Shipways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulises Victoria Posted August 8, 2014 Share #163 Posted August 8, 2014 In the mean time I wanted to share my messy work room, where my wife says I spend too much time!

The table also tilts, but I have not had an occasion to use that feature! Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmodajr Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share #168 Posted August 12, 2014 Working on the gun ports now. When I was planking the hull, back in the beginning, I made the gun ports, using the same wood. Now, using my face grinder, I tipped the table 55 degrees and chamfered the back ends to the angle I will be having the gun ports open to. I drilled holes for a support pin, perpendicular to the angle, for extra support. tasmanian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmodajr Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share #169 Posted August 12, 2014 Continuing on, I blackened all the hinges. Also blackened all the eyelets for the ropes on the gun ports Gold leafed the lion heads Glued the hinges on. Now I am working on adding the ropes to the eyelets.

Richard Griffith Posted August 25, 2014 Share #173 Posted August 25, 2014 Very nice work on the Wasa (Vasa)~! Your shop looks good, and since it works for you, then it is great. I visited Vasa in Stockholm last year-awe inspiring. After that, and reviewing your build log, I think it is time for me to build one.

Glad that you were able to visit the Vasa in Stockholm. I am working on my wife to take a trip out to Sweden next year! Everyone says it is a "must see" attraction. I wish I went before I started my ship, but I have been fortunate to have other members of this site provide me with great photos of the real ship.

pollex Posted August 28, 2014 Share #178 Posted August 28, 2014 Message Port? Hello Frank; Are you sure this definition is correct, not mislabeled in translation? I would have thought it was more like a scupper for draining wash-water from the pumps! Another possibility, it could be a ballast port through which stones,etc. were loaded into the ships hold.
