Indeed. Another prospect who was chasing after another daughter once remarked (while looking at my partially completed model of the Vasa): "is it Noah's Ark?"

Me: it has guns...

Him: they didn't have guns back then?

The ship may never actually get launched but the crew can at least stave off any attempts on the rum stores.

Apart from the turned brass barrels, these are completely scratchbuilt—not completely accurate, but a simplified representation of the real deal. Overall, I’m pretty pleased, but my level of precision and consistency is better suited to a factory mass-producing decor models; however, I think these will look reasonable enough once incorporated into the whole.

In der Tat. Ein anderer Interessent, der einer anderen Tochter hinterherjagte, bemerkte einmal (während er mein teilweise fertiggestelltes Modell der Vasa betrachtete): „ Ist das die Arche Noah ?“

Ich: Es hat Waffen ...

Er: Gab es damals keine Waffen ?

@Peter Gutterman and @GIG1810 ; Gentlemen, thank you for those wonderful comments. I apologize that I somehow missed them up till now. Your words give me so much encouragement!

A nice battery of guns... The details you included should satisfy any and all casual observers. I tried to capture as many details as I could on the few guns I included on the Kingfisher. The only comment I have ever gotten was, "those are cool," and that from a guy who is angling to become a son-in-law one day.

Yes, the bears are definitely becoming a concern. I only have to worry about them when I enter their territory, but I think where you live you must be careful every time you leave the house! 気を付けて下さい！

The mountains behind where I live are home to bears.Speechless
Last year, someone captured video of a bear walking along a city road at night.:eek:
It's possible they might come down from the mountains again this year.
Please be careful, everyone.Thumbsup
