VASA 490 Build Log - Billing Boats, 1:75 [COMPLETED BUILD]

Just a quick and short update for this holiday weekend. Here you see I've attached the bolt rope to the ships forsale and added the bonnet required on these sails. The bonnets being the sails extension I believe. The bolt rope is indeed a tedious application, and I will add the small sections of rope at the reinforced clew connections thus giving the impression of a weaved bump out.

Not a lot of progress here because recently I have been tasked with another building project, a backyard gazebo which I'm almost finished with.
Off topic for sure but thought you all might find interesting. The Admiral has assured me that completion of this gazebo will greatly enhance my chances at acquiring any future wooden sailing vessels. :cool:Take a look and thank you all for stopping by.

So the Admiral wants you out of the house for a while, eh?
 
Great job with the gazebo Daniel. The Admiral will have nothing but compliments, I am sure. Great job with the sails too!! They are coming along just fine.

What glue did you use on the boltrope attachments?

Your ship is coming along wonderfully. I can't believe the speed that you have raced through your standing rigging - I am sure mine took MUCH longer. It's looking great.

Regards,

PeterG.
 
Beautiful sails and gazebo Daniel. I am sure that both have enhanced your future modeling career considerably. :)

Good morning Daniel. Rest assured your chances of acquiring future wooden sailing vessels is secure.;).Gazebo is lovely.

I love the bonnets on the sails- I have not seen too many modelers do this and it looks outstanding. Nice!

Cheers Grant

Hi Peter, thank you for your compliments. I followed Paul's @dockattner's lead on this by spot gluing with CA then going back over all of it with a glue called 'Liquid Stitch' which is surprisingly strong yet flexible. It is designed to glue fabrics and dries clear.
