To Fred Hocker or anyone:
Hello Fred, Vasa pictures seem to show timbers covering the outer edges of the channel wales, closing the chain plate slots and covering the heads of the channel to hull fasteners. How are these timbers fastened to the channels? Do any fasteners show on the outer side of these timbers? If so, would they be visible in 1/60 scale? Shel

The notches for the chainplates are covered by a capping strip which is nailed in place. In some cases, the inboard edge of this is notched for the chainplate. The lower edge is beveled up to about half the thickness of the chainwale. I do not think the nails would be especially noticeable at 1:60. Fred
