    Mantua Sergal Soleil Royal - Cutaway

    Thomas, Super nice log and great project - Must say that in the time you took to start and finish this great build, I, on the other hand, would have probably rigged a couple of cannons for my current project :) though it is just finished - will post images - well probably after you start and...

    Trenails and Iron nails (when and what)

    I would imagine that Dr. fred Hocker would be very knowledgeable with these interesting questions. Lower under waterline hull seems to have many nails?? or ?? not just for the wales. He can be contacted through the Vasa Specific site. https://warshipvasa.freeforums.net/

    Mantua Sergal Soleil Royal - Cutaway

    Thomas for deck support you could place these - temporarily or in completed form all long each deck as they support decks above?

    Mantua Sergal Soleil Royal - Cutaway

    Thomas - Nice interesting concept - will follow along as well. I'm Just finishing a "traditional" cross section. Yours will be super more complicated. I agree it is a nice learning experience seeing how they looked and worked from the inside.

    Vasa Museum

    Awesome images thanks for sharing. I visited twice in 095, then again in 2018. For the second visit I also spent time with Dr. Fred Hocker - Super interesting - he showed me some areas of their research dept. He also mentioned that they are still finding artifacts near the site.

    Santisima Trinidad cross section Occre - bashed [COMPLETED BUILD]

    Kkonrath, As you know Italy is, for intent and purposes, shut down. You prob. won't get a responce for quite a while IMO - especially when asking them to ship "free" parts. I also want to purchase my next kit from Sergal (The Sovereign of....) but production is also at a standstill, and my...
