Here at picture #55 and following you can see how the Vasamuseet rigged the cannons at the large reconstruction of the gundeck. Hope you see how they managed it. To me it looks like a bowline knot which connects the breeching rope to a ring. Cheers, Alexander

Hi Peter,
my model isn't ready, so I have still time to wait and see how the Vasamuseet will mount the figure. I don't know if Fred realized his intention. In August I want to visit the Vasa. Then I will check, if something had happened by now.
Cheers, Alexander

Hi Vladimir,
you are right. The lower position, as my plans (of W. Mondfeld) show it, is obviously wrong. So I have to change this on my model.
Thanks for the correction.
Cheers, Alexander

Nice work, Vlad!
I suspect the figure for the mainsail tacks is situated a little lower as you mounted it at your model.
Cheers, Alexander

Wasa 1628, Part 1, en film av Andres Wahlgren
This scene from Wahlgren's film is an anachronism Alexander

Hi Mark,
as far as I know, these crossbars had no belaying pins.
Cheers, Alexander

Hi, here are some new characters. These are the warriors on the lower gallery. Like the musicians of the upper gallery I prepared them from Milliput. In Boxwood I carved three grotesque consoles and the birds-console. The warriors will be placed on these consoles. Because I need 60 pieces of the figures, a two-part silicone mold is made once again and I will mold a corresponding number of casts. The warriors then will get their arms in different positions and weapons and shield in their hands. That's it once again Regards, Alexander

Hi Frank,
Vasa had no foot ropes on the yards
About the last tackle I think this is not proven that Vasa had any.
Cheers, Alexander

Congratulations

The display case, you made is great, Matti. The style matches very good to the Vasa and her time.
I will keep this in mind for my model.
Maybe it looks still better if you change the stand of the model to a higher one - maybe in metal or acrylic? Just an idea...
Cheers, Alexander

Hi Clayton,
I didn't carve every Figure as you did.
That's the advantage of coloured figures. You can hide a lot of tricks under the colour.
Many of the recurring figures as the lions at the gunports are copies in resin.
But I admire your effort of carving every single figure including the figures which are hidden under deck
Cheers, Alexander

Meanwhile, the two figures are ready carved ready and primed. There are still missing some higlights on the hair and the crowns. Regards, Alexander
