Alexander,
Superlative work. A real beauty. Do you intend to add running rigging as well as sails?
Regards, Michael

Thanks, Michael
no, my Vasa is being built without rigging.
I like it better and the model will not take so much space, when it's finished.
Regards, Alexander

I just finished the two herms at the ship's sides. They were used for the tacks of the main sail.   It's missing the painting Alexander |

Thank you, Matti
I use boxwood for carving. It's pretty dense and much fun to work with.

Has now taken some time. But the painting with oil paint is because of the long drying times always somewhat time consuming. Particularly, if something fails and must be replaced. The troop of Roman Warriors with windinstruments and torches I have made because of their smallness out of Milliput-putty. The size is about 1.5 to 2 cm. In transparent boxes I sorted the appropriate instrumets and possibly torches.  Here are the 7 figures finished mounted to the stern.  Located between the upper and lower galleries are grotesque console heads. I have taken their shape off the model with Milliput. Then I carved the characters in box.  Side galleries fitted so far in comparison with the original  The stern now looks like this:  And again the painted hermfigures.   Alexander |
