Sorry for starting a tangent @oldflyer . Thanks for your feedback on this. Your build is indeed beautiful. Please do provide a conclusion to your build log.

I'm with Kurt; let's see the final display location. Is it near your Vasa? Has it replaced the Vasa? Perhaps on top of your wife's dresser in your bedroom? In the garage forcing your treasured car into the driveway ?

All ok Kurt,

I know - we all know - that you are a fanatic for this ship (compliment)

Cheers

Hi all,

It’s display location is a compromise. Though it did (PTWT) pass the wife test.

I purchased the base stand at Amazon - it’s a TV watching dinner table - didn’t know you could still sit on the side of the bad to have dinner?

So, I’m three for three.

Sovereign fits there OK - but does encroach with my other hobby collection location.

Santisima cross section was always intended to live there and it is also close to the rum haha

Vasa location was chosen by both of us - thought all family photos etc. had to be moved --- hmmmm

===================

Current Oseberg build - fireplace mantle would be an overkill. And I’ve been advised as much by the Admiral - all good.

====================

So, goodbye to this log of six years - now to be lost in Cyberspace.

[Daniel20]

WOW! Very nice John, I see you have a wide range of models. You're going to have to squeeze an Oseberg in there somewhere

 

[Jacapa412]

Amazing Collection John!!!!

Cheers

Thanks buddy.

 

[DaveSeamark]

Huge congratulations, John! To see a six-year journey come to fruition like this is deeply inspiring. As someone who is barely five hours into my very first kit, looking at your finished masterpiece gives me both a massive sense of awe and a true appreciation for the patience this hobby requires. Brilliant work, and an incredible achievement!

Thanks so much - Enjoying this hobby so much I've learned a lot from following logs as well as asking for help and getting great "how to"advice along the way.

In closing this entire log - I'd like to, as well share some images of the other two that have found a nice place to reside along with the Sovereign
Vasa-- was a Corel kit - also bashed, and added sails using rigging plans from other sources. Some detail images;

Amazing Collection John!!!!

Jack,

Thanks as well So nice of you...

One last set - these are from the Santisima next to the bar. My first attempt add adding lights to a kit.
The complete log is here as SoS..(the Vasa log was lost from MSW (six year build )

WOW! Very nice John, I see you have a wide range of models. You're going to have to squeeze an Oseberg in there somewhere

Daniel,

Oseberg will create some real estate issues with the Admiral. Fireplace mantle would be nice - but I don't also don't want to turn our living room into a model ship
museum

 

[oldflyer]

OK ALL DONE HERE

HUGE thanks to all members who followed this very long build log - and thanks to the many of you who just dropped by for a look

See Ya

Now onto Oseberg - all new learning (I hope)

Sincerely
