Cheers, but it's nothing compaired to your work. This is much more simplified.
First I cut a flat piece of wood in the squared shape and in that I cut the shape of the noblemen. After that I painted them and used layers of paint to build it slightly three dimensional. It works great with acrylic paints as it dries in minutes and I can work fast. After that shading and highlightning them with different nuanses and washes. Also some detail painting. Finally I did the frame/table around it, filled the gaps around to make the three layers look solid.
I have to compensate my lack in carving skills with my painting. I hope to learn carving some day, but with all new things I have to learn about modelship building, it has to be a later model.

Nice work! I really like how you lit the interior of the great cabin. That is something I wish I would have done with mine. (I stopped with LED lights along the keelson)

Thanks Clayton, yeah lighting is a nice way to make a model come alive. It's really tricky to take pictures showing how it looks though.

Here are three of the finished cannons. The carriages are made of 20 parts and they took some time to get the way I wanted.

Hi Matti,
I think you've done splendid work on the gun carriages. It's going to be fun rigging them in 1:75.
All of a sudden, after 2.5 years, my Sergal based 1/60 Vasa is rigged and finished. I've been super motivated since October 2013 when I finished the hull and started the rigging. I'm having a display case built separable from it's table structure. The 50" x 18" x 36" (interior dimensions) glass/frame structure itself will be heavy so this part will have one end removable so it can be slid off the end of the table to expose the boat. Dropping the glass/frame while lifting it up and over the boat is unthinkable. I've read about Clayton's plastic case but I want glass. I'll post pictures soon. I feel too saturated with building Vasa to write a review of the Sergal kit for Fred right now but I will do so soon.
Regards,
Shel

Hey Shel, thanks! Looking forward to see your finished model and also read your review of the sergal kit.

I wanted a change from tiny detail work after the cannons, so I did the small rould ornaments arount the two holes at the stern. These were not included in the kit so I scratched them from wood.   |

Well done, Matti
I think you have to smooth the lines a little yet.
What wood do you use?
Cheers, Alexander
