Hi Jan,
I can't imagine, what the ropes are for, but your Vasa looks great!
Cheers, Alexander

Hej Jan, I like that little drill jig for the gunports, very clever. When you are rigging the gunport lids, there should be a line on both the inside and outside of the port, to open it and pull it closed. Both were attached to ringbolts. Fred

Hi Fred, thanks for passing by an impression how I planned to mount the ropes (I am only using a simple knot in the rope and not a ring, that will be to small on this scale)

Hi Jan excellent painting on your model Can I ask did you use a primer ? Everything I try just scratches of as soon as I try to handle it I though maybe an acid etch primer might help ? Andy

I used for the metal parts a simple primer in a spray bottle.

Hello Jan,
I've seen your updates on the other model building sites. Would be great if you would post them here too. I guess I will see your Vasa model at the 'Modelbouwdag 2014' in Gorinchem this saturday. Will you be there?
Hope to see you saturday,
Jules

Hello Jules,
I will not be at the event in Gorinchem this year, I have other personal appointments which I cannot change. Maybe in November during a meeting in Barneveld in the local modelshop there, but that depends on a planned business trip the week after that weekend.

Hi Jan,
That's a shame. I was really looking forward to see the progress on your model.
Regards,
Jules

Within some weeks I will continue with the rigging. Now reading several books and checking other buildlogs so I know how to proceed
