With the Vasa being a slow progress build, I needed a little something else to fill in with, so out came this one, which I am building for a friend, and given how large it is turning out to be, I shall be glad to get it finished and passed on:
progress has been quite swift, and it has gone together very cleanly and easily. Like many nautical kits, it came with vac sails, which I detest, and so I am going to be making cloth ones, as the sizes of them are quite large and suitable for a sewing machine project alone .

That's my "Holy Grail" kit. Recently obtained and on a short list to be built. Going to be fun watching your build.

That would make a brilliant half hull mounted on the wall.

Yep, that's a keeper for certain!
I agree about the sails; the straining and weathering look spot on
