 Hi all I have just received the first packs of this iconic ship  My plan is to add a lot more detail to this brilliant kit . I have been looking forward to this kit coming out after building the Corel one which I consider is very poor in instructions and shape where the Deag one is far more accurate I am going to collect a few more issues before I start the build See you soon Martyn Building ?

Cheers Tom and Alan I have been itching to get my hands on this one as its probably my favourite ship  and the Deag one is the most accurate on out there and looking at the official build the kit looks very high quality Thanks again Martyn Building ?

Great to hear that Martyn!  I received my second pack yesterday  but I will wait with my build until I have at least 4 packs. I'm also planing some "additions" but I need gather more info about the Vasa and test few things on my San Francisco. Actually I have this crazy idea to show somehow interior of the main cabin but have no clue for the moment how to do that  Would be nice to have assembly instructions for all packs before even start the build. Will follow with much interest! Regards, Arek

Hi Arek I had the same idea with the great cabin and the lower gun deck probably with lighting but we will see Martyn Building ?

I wonder if ships from that period had lanterns on masts Regards, Arek

 Not to sure about lanterns on the masts but she would have had one on the stern Martyn Building ?

Well let's get this party started I'm planning on doing a bit of a custom bash and to start with one of the cannons The carriage was cut from the fret and sanded to get rid of the char then stained black. The gun carriage was glued together the axles where cut to size and drilled to except the wheel pins and the wheels where glued on and stained black . The barrel was cleaned up and primed. The handles where glued into place. Once dry the bronze paint was applied and allowed to dry . The gun was then glued to the carriage. I made some trunnions out of some thin plastic strip and painted gun metal. Two small holes where then drilled and some very small pins where glued into place for the bolts . The same pins where cut down to make the wheel pins . That's it for the time being but will be working on the next instalment this week Thanks for looking Martyn Martyn Ingram attached the following image(s): Building ?
