Hello tcsolihull, You are very welcome to go to modelshipworld.com – must sign in (free) and follow my build. modelshipworld.com/index.php?/topic/329-wasa-by-md1400cs-finished-corel-175/&page 34 is where I begin building the platforms. Thanks for asking for advice. I also used plan sheets from the Vasa Museum. Also Fred Hocker has a thread (on this site) that has drawings of the platforms. I also used those – look here for that info. YES- it is a complicated ship to get right. Good luck.. here are a few pics of the process. Regards, Michael

Hello, Here are some completed photos of the Corel Vasa. Yes, I know that the Corel is the least correct kit available. But I “bashed it” as best I could. Some general views, as well as some close ups of added details to the basic kit. Thanks for looking. Regards, Michael

Helo Peter, Thanks for the nice comment. No all of the rigging and blocks are after-market (except for the kit included dead-eyes - mistake Should have installed triangular deadeyes ). I don't know of a single kit, at what-ever price that includes correctly scaled rigging lines. All lines and blocks were sourced from this company www.syrenshipmodelcompany.com/miniature-rope.phpEach separate shipment was always consistent in color and quality. Here are a couple more pics that show the diff. sizes that Syren has available.

Excellent work indeed especially coming from the Corel kit - known to be the least accurate of kits available.
I have also been working on this Corel kit for quite a while -almost finished (:-)

Hello Clayton, I would like to have your permission to use a copy of the King, that you have painted on your foremast. I would print your jpg, size it down, cut the king and glue the image to my foremast. Thanks in advance if that would be OK with you. Regards, Michael

Hi Mates, Need some advice. Starting to attach the foremast shrouds before locating the lower platform. But looking at a rigging book I noticed these Burton Pendants. Did a Google searches and it seems that they were also on some 16th century. ships. Any help would be appreciated regarding adding these to this Vasa build. All of the rigging plans that I have for the Vasa don't seem to include any of these lines. Regards,

Fred,
Thanks for the thread. I have removed those two pin rails and will wait for Vasa II. I have at least several months before I start on building the masts, let alone any rigging work. Matti your questions were good (:-)
