Hello Marktiedens,
I think you have done some very nice work especially on the stern galleries' tower decorations. I just completed my Sergal Vasa and I'll post some pictures of it soon. I did post some hull pictures on the Pictures board in 10/13.
Regards, Shel Urlik

I really like your paint job! When I painted my little 1:144 scale Airfix Vasa, I thought that painting all of these little sculptures was quite relaxing. Probably even more so on something bigger like yours.

Thanks Clayton.Actually I didn`t really care to do all the paint work but I`m glad I did now that almost all the painting is done.I almost didn`t post any pictures after seeing your fantastic build!

Thanks, but feel free to post as many pictures as you want here of your work. It seems that this forum is full of great activity, and more of us makes it even better!

All of those sculptures is one of the reasons I will probably never build a wooden Vasa model! I am constatnly impressed by people who manage to power through it, whether they are carving all of figures by hand as Clayton did or just painting and fitting plastic or brass mouldings, as Mark did. I have been following his build on MSW and been impressed by his steady progress and solutions. Fred

Haven`t been to this site for awhile so I thought I had better do a little catching up.Masts are done & standing rigging started.Lower & topmast shrouds done & some stays started.I know my standing rigging is pretty dark but I prefer it this way - I like the contrast between the dark standing & light running rigging .

Sorry about the picture line-up. I couldn`t seem to get the curser where I wanted it.

Hi Mark,
the rigging looks very fine. In my opinion, the color is ok.
How did you realised the paintig of the shindles?

Hi Alexander
the scallop pattern on the gallerys is not paint - I cut the design out of paper card stock with a leather hole punch & glued them on.Not perfectly accurate but there is no way I could paint it evenly.I also didn`t realise the color was pale yellow - not white.Too late to change the color now.
