Just starting my build and I'm a new member too!! Thought I'd try my hand at posting photos as I build. Would more than welcome any suggestions, help, hints or otherwise!! Bought this kit in 1997 and stored it for retirement. Seemed like now was the time.

Hello everyone! This is a bit of an experiment to me. I have never made a build log before so hopefully this is going to be enjoyable for everyone. This is also going to be my first wood model kit that I will be building. I have done multiple plastic models before, but this is the first time...

Hi guys, I found out about this site when the built of this d'Augustini wooden scale model kit was already underway. Never ever have I built a wooden ship in my life! Let alone this beauty of a ship. We will see where it all ends. Hopefully in a presentable show case! On SOS some remarks are...

Hi, I started this kit something like 3 years ago. Although I’m happily under a parental leave from the hobby, I’d like to share the progress so far with the hopes of continuing the thread in the future. I started the work with 2 main ideas in mind: - even though I know the original colour is...

Does anyone know a resource for painting the cast figures of the Corel WASA model? The best things I have found are the build guides from de Agostini's version which is a larger scale and its fittings are not consistent with Corel's fittings. Corel's instruction sheet is no help as it does not...

So I will preface this by saying that there is a kit out there I said I would purchase and am still very much in want of that kit. So please do not think me starting this log is in no means me not still wanting to purchase the kit. Now onto the start of this post here. So some background... I...

It's my pleasure to introduce my version of the famous Swedish VASA warship. I invite all to join in on this my second major build. My wife's mother was from Sweden and her dad was from Denmark. A few years ago she had the opportunity to visit relatives in Sweden and visited the VASA museum . So...

I started this kit in 1993 and made progress till birth of sons and life and put in storage. Am starting again progress so far of billings kits of the 90s may be second release of ship and colors incorrect to start.

Introduction. I have read various SOS postings on the merits of various Vasa kits: Billing, Corel, d'Agostini, Mantua. I have settled on the Corel version even though it is not the most highly favoured. The kit is about half the price of d'Agostini and the negative comparisons (accuracy etc.)...

Editorial note added following the completion of this build: This build report is crazy long - unhelpfully so. If you're not interested in all the details and just want to see how it all turned out use this link to see the final result: Final Images. If that sparks your interest and you want to...

Professionally I build by way of scratch. But from time to time I obtain a plastic kit and work it as if it were wood -replacing as much of the plastic as possible and reinforcing the remainder using pine, birch and/or bass woods. On occasion, where warranted I will upgrade certain areas with...

Hi Mates, This needed to be done – so taking a slight break from my current build Santisima cross-section to revisit the Vasa (no build log) for a needed new Lantern. The one that I had installed is totally inappropriate for a ship such as that- much too basic looking. AND much too high as well...

I only recently discovered SOS and so wasn't entering a build log as I went for the last few months of a build of the Swedish Vasa from the Billing Boat kit. My name is Peter, and I live in the snow country of south-east Australia. About 12 months ago, following a cruise in the Baltic Sea my...

Well its time for a new project. I’ve had this model in the box for a couple years, bought it off eBay at a bargain price. Started by placing all the ribs in place making sure they all fit well and trimming where needed and then gluing in place. Followed by making sure all the deck pieces fit...
