Expensive being carved in Pear Wood. That set would be nice if it were also in resin to just paint and mount as a wall decoration in a frame in its own right.

I see that this thread is now a few years old. So, has anyone fully built the latest wooden kit iteration of the Vasa made by Artesania Latina. I believe that it became available firstly as a part works and was not shown on Artesania's website for some time. However, it now is. I was looking at the instructions that can be downloaded (nearly 400 pages) plus a separate painting guide with all the RAL numbers for the figures. From what I see the kit looks very comprehensive. At 1/64th scale it will be a big model when built, but will it be the best wood kit to date?

I am building the Revell plastic kit and the shrouds that the ratlines are tied to appears to be smooth. In my book The Vasa, there is a photo showing where the shrouds are tied around the masts at the tops in the museum and they appear to have a smooth covering. The Stolt drawings show the shrouds as normal rope with the ratlines tied. What would be the correct way to model them as I am intending to build the model as she appeared on the fateful day when she went down. Any help here would be appreciated. If the smooth Revell shrouds are correct then it will save me a lot of work.

Hi Fred I am building the Revell kit and have been trying to see from various website photos of the ship where all the scarf joints are situated as they are not shown at all on the Stolt Drawings I bought from the museum a few years ago. Your reply post to another modeller earlier in this thread with the diagram of the locations has saved me hours of time trying to work out where the are. Thanks. I don't have the skills to do plank on frame modelling like most of the other modellers on this site and really admire their work. Just looking at their models is an inspiration to me to make the most of my humble plastic kit.
