Oh, and in response to your question about the lantern - If I recall correctly, it's from Amati, 23mm size.

Thanks, I found a local supplier for this special Silk paper. (10 sheets for 11,00 euro)

 

did you use the graphic as posted or a special picture (I am not so familiar with vectorized pictures) 

 

Thanks also for the Lantern, I will check with a local supplier what he can supply.

Flags look great! I will probably give this a try when I'm ready for flags. The ones that came with my kit are only single side printed and the fabric does not lend itself to shaping. Yours came out very nice and make for a great final touch on a beautiful model.

Jan - I used the image as posted.  It's a JPG as converted from a vectorized (SVG) file.  Vector graphics are easier to manipulate than raster graphics, but once you're done, you can just export to a JPG as I did for the above post.

Question for the group: any recommendations for people who make display cases?  The company that was making mine is proving flakey...

I'm not sure where you live but Modeller's Workshop(one of our sponsors) makes them, just contact Rick.

Thanks for the pointer - I'll contact him.

Greetings all - it's been a while, and I realized I forgot to post pictures of the finished model with all flags flying, so here are some photos.  With that I'll sign off.  It's been a great project, many thanks for all the encouragement and assistance!

Truly inspirational and educational work. As I have been moving into the rigging stage on my la Couronne, your build log has been a great source of information on rigging as they are close enough in design to answer many of my questions and your pictures are nice and clear providing up close shots of a lot of details that I often cannot find. Thanks for sharing your build with us!

congratulations on this prefect finished buidl of your Vasa.
