Good day Paul,
Study your rigging with great interest!!!
Such precise and balanced work! Pleased to my eyes!
Like it very much!
Question... why did You choose such unusual way to secure upper lift block...to the cross trees...?
Why not to the stay loop or to the mast top with long strop?

Excellent Kirill! The simple answer is that I failed to capture this important detail from the drawing. I shall correct this when I return to my ship building (presently on hiatus).
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for drawing this mistake to my attention.
Yes, thank you Kirill, @kirill4, I too need to revise the same block locations. Fortunately, I can still access this area easily.
Paul, Daniel,

I read from time to time about Vasa I and about ship plans from the Vasamuseet. I notice the Vasamuseet does not appear to have an online store - is there a way to purchase these items from

The tough question is, will you fix it?
Kurt ....anyone else I would go along with this.....Paul...he most certainly willThe tough question is, will you fix it?

Oh please, not again Nescafé!now time for some Nescafe
Paul will have urges and they will lead to fixes on fixes on fixes. I think if there was a plan that said make a panda bear out of .02 thread and hang it under the crows nest and he missed it he would go and do it just so the ship is right
My interpretation came from my kit supplied drawings.Paul, Daniel,

Paul I think your research on this vessel has been outstanding, I know you have a copy of my kit plans and if you use them be careful. While they do contain a lot of information I am no where near knowledgeable enough to speak of their accuracy. Here the attachment of the blocks Kirill refers to seem to be on the trees.
Paul's model is too good for that , made on high level ,
I don't think there will be endless urges...
but some points in rigging are critical, why do not tell about them if there is clear evidance that some mistake done , but I like his work very much to stay speachless aside....))

Good day Daniel,
On the right drwng, upper lift block looks like attached to the stay loop, at least we could suppose it... looks same as on the Vasa museum drawing...?
Vasa museum drawings are very good, free for download and in high resolution as well... I could give them priority in use before kit's rigging drawings...

Hi Kirill,
I do have the museum high res photos. Seeing your drawings and the museum photos does indeed confirm attachment to the stay loop. Thank you for this clarification.
One of the variant, which Anderson mentioned, it could be secured to the mast top, using long strop, passes trough stay loop and block itself will be under the top platform... visually it will be the same, as when we secure block to the stay loop...
Daniel,
Do you have fotos of the museum model, or museum drawings which were used for that model making?
..those drawings Fred H. share with us, they could be downloaded on the link I posted above...in pdf

I have downloaded a set of photos that can be zoomed in on with fairly good quality (www.modelships.de/Museums_and_replicas/Vasa-Museet-Stockholm/Photos-Vasa-model.htm). I do not have the museum drawings though. Would you have a link for that?
Oh I see the link Kirill. It looks like I need to register first to download.
May be yes... I don t remember... it was easy... that forum only for Vasa, very informative,and Fred H , museum lead specialist also active in discussions
