Hi Daniele, I just gave you some news, nothing more, I wouldn't touch anything
VASA 490 Build Log - Billing Boats, 1:75 [COMPLETED BUILD]
Hey Shota, thank you and Merry Christmas/ Happy Hanukkah to you too my friend!
Happy New Year everyone!
I do not have a lot of progress to show however I am still moving forward. For now, I'm concentrating on canon and canon hatch covers. I've completed the starboard side and building rope hanks as well. I show a closeup of the beakhead with some rope hanks installed.
Here is the jig I made for forming the rope hanks.
Hope you enjoy the photos and thanks for checking in.

Goodmorning everyone, I don't have a Vasa update this post but felt compelled share my condition as I have tested positive for Covid (last Thursday evening). I've quarantined myself to the guest room and been taking lots of Tylenol. At this point I don't believe I will have to endure the worst Covid has to offer but what I am experiencing is something I hope eases up soon. Till next time, happy modeling.
Get well soon, Daniel!!
I am currently suffering from Covid 2.0 which feels like a head cold with the typical weakness you get. Having barely survived Covid 1.0, I can take this with no problem. I guess we're having fun being miserable together.
It's hard generating the energy to work on the model while I'm home, but I'm getting some cannon carriage work done.

Oh my word, my friend - having just gone through this with Anna, I can sympathize. You are in our prayers and thoughts - drink plenty of liquids (preferably hot water) and keep yourself warm!
Good afternoon Daniel. Happy new year!! Wow! You are owning this. I said it before however gonna repeat - your build style, the colours, stain choices, ropes (everything) all work together brilliantly. Freaking good. Cheers Grant
Be well friend. COVID is in full bloom post-Christmas almost everywhere...
Chicken soup, yeah, but hot water? Haven't tried that. Hot showers sure feel good when you have the aches, though.
I'll pound it with the entire alphabet of vitamins and see what happens. Hope you're feeling better soon too, Daniel.

I don't know how I missed such a beatiful Vasa build. Fantastic work on rigging. Those highly ornamented ships like Vasa/Soleil Royal are always a gem when nicely finished
Hello Kurt, prayers for your recovery. I know there are a lot of second timers with this crud, my wife just tested herself today and it showed positive, what a way to begin the new year.I am currently suffering from Covid 2.0 which feels like a head cold with the typical weakness you get. Having barely survived Covid 1.0, I can take this with no problem. I guess we're having fun being miserable together.
That's too bad Daniel, I hope you recover very soon (and your wife too!)
Thank you, Heinrich, your prayers are so appreciated.

Thank you, Grant. Happy New Year to you and your family.
Indeed, it must be Paul. Just a few hours ago my wife tested positive despite our efforts at quarantine. I read on Fox news about a Covid mutation spreading like wildfire from East coast going West.
